An Important Message...
God had a plan when He created the world in which we live. He also had a plan when He made YOU. The most wonderful experience that can happen to you is to discover and participate in God's plan for your life.
This great discovery begins when you realize God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life
God loves you
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
God has a plan for your life
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (a life full of meaning and purpose)
The Bible demonstrates the fact that God loves you and wants you to enjoy the abundant life that only He can give.
Why are most people not experiencing God's love and living the joy-filled abundant life?
Because man is a sinner and sin has separated him from God
"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hid his face from you..."
God did not make man as a puppet on a string to love Him and obey Him automatically, but gave man a will and freedom to make choices.
Man chose to disobey God and walk down his own path of destruction ... a pride filled, self-willed, sin-filled way.
Every one of us, you and me included, has chosen to disobey God in many ways.
"For there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not."
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"
Sin is missing the mark of perfection-falling short God's plan for your life. It results in spiritual death.
"For the wages of sin is death..." (separation from God in Hell)
Man's self-efforts cannot repair the damage created by sin
Man has attempted to bridge the gulf which separates him from God by doing good works, living morally, devising profound philosophies, and even being religious, but he has always failed.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done..."
There is only one remedy for the problem of Sin and Separation.
Jesus Christ crucified is God's remedy for sin
When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for all our sins and bridged the gulf that separated us from God.
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God"
God's love is greater than man's sin.
"But God commendeth (proved) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Jesus died a humiliating and agonizing death, but he didn't remain in the grave. He rose again so that we might have a personal relationship with God.
The gulf created by our sin has been bridged by Jesus' The death, burial and resurrection.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
It is not enough to discover that God loves you and has a plan for your life, that man is a sinner, and that Christ is God's remedy for sin...
You must personally receive Christ as your Lord and Saviour
Receiving Christ is as simple as taking these four steps:
- Realize your sin has separated you from God.
- Be willing to turn from your sin and turn to God (this is called repentance).
- Believe that Jesus died for your sins and that He arose in victory over death.
- Invite Jesus Christ to take control of your life.
Trusting Christ is more than mentally recognizing Him as the Son of God or having an emotional experience. You must receive Him as your Lord and Saviour by faith.
The Bible Says...
"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
Christ's Invitation...
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him..."
If the following prayer expresses the desire of your heart, you can ask Jesus Christ to come into your life as He has promised:
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. I now invite you into my life as Lord and Saviour. From this moment on I ask that you take control of my life and make me what you want me to be. Amen.
The Promise...
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
If you trusted Christ as Saviour, you have an exciting life of spiritual growth ahead of you. Please, contact us and let us know that you did.
