You are 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. Sin.
People tend to divide themselves into groups- good people and bad people. But God says that all of us are sinners, and any sin separates us from God. That includes you and me.
"For all have sinned and fall 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 others seem not to love you. I have great news for you! Jesus DOES love you! More than you could ever imagine! Nothing you can do will ever 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 thats not what God says.
"God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
God says that you can not make yourself right with God by being a better person. God wants to save you just because, HE LOVES YOU.
"God our savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us." Titus 3:5
It is God's grace that allows you to come to Him - not your efforts to "clean up your life" or by or your works. You can't earn it, it is a free gift.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
Before you are able to come to God, the price for your sin must be paid. 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 Christ Jesus 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 us to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus. All that is left for you to do is accept the gift that Jesus is holding out for you right now.
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." 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 only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting 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.
Here is a suggested Prayer
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life, but I believe You died and rose again from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. Jesus please come into my life and take control of my life. Please forgive me for my sins and save me. I now place my trust in You, and You alone for my salvation, and I thank you for your free gift of eternal life. For it is In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen."
If you have trusted Jesus as you Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you grow Spiritually.
