God's Plan for
You!
God loves you so much that He
wants to give you eternal life in heaven. The Bible says that
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 6:23) The gift of eternal life is offered to all
regardless of nationality, religion or rank.
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 through the Sinner's Prayer:
|
Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal
life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to
purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my
life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save
me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my
salvation and I accept your free gift of eternal life.
Amen. |
