You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to
have a personal relationship with Him. There is just one thing that
separates you from God. That one thing is sin.
People tend
to divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people. But
God says that every person that has ever lived is a sinner, and
any sin separates us from God. That includes you and me.
"For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans
3:23
According to
man's rules, people should be punished or rewarded according to
how good they are, and it might be hard for you to understand how
Jesus could love you when other people don't seem to. But I have
great news for you! Jesus DOES love you! More than you can ever
imagine! And there's nothing you can do to make him stop!
Are you thinking
that you should make things right in your life before you come to
Jesus? Many people feel that way, but that's not what God says!
"God
demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
For you to come
to God you have to get rid of your sin problem. But God says that
you can't make yourself right with God by being a better person.
God wants to save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He
saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because
of His mercy." Titus 3:5
It's God's grace
that allows you to come to Him - not your efforts to "clean
up your life" or work your way to Heaven. You can't earn it.
It's a free gift.
"For
it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no
one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to come
to God, your sin must be paid for. God's gift to you is His son,
Jesus, who paid the debt for you.
"For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the
price for your sin and mine by giving His life on Calvary's cross.
God brought Jesus back from the dead and paved the way for you to
have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus. All that's
left for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding out
for you right now.
"If
you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe
in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and
it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans
10:9-10
God says that
if you believe in His son, Jesus, you can live forever with Him
in glory.
"For
God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John
3:16
Are you ready
to accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right
now? If it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your
heart as your personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your
heart.
