God loves YOU and has a purpose for YOUR life.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me (John 14:6)," and, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God (John 3:3)."
By these two simple statements, the Lord Jesus Christ makes two points perfectly clear:
(1) HE is the ONLY way to Heaven.
(2) To go to Heaven you must be 'born again'.
So, to go to Heaven you need to know Jesus. Now knowing Jesus is very
different from knowing about Jesus. In fact, knowing Jesus personally
involves five things:
(1) Understanding that He loves YOU.
(2) Understanding that He has a purpose for YOUR life.
(3) Believing that He has prepared a way to bring you into a personal relationship with Him.
(4) Trusting His promise of salvation and eternal life.
(5) Calling upon Him to save you, receiving Him into your heart as your personal Savior.
The first man God ever made - Adam - was created to share fellowship with God, and
this is the same reason that He made YOU! However, Adam disobeyed God and as a
result of his disobedience he brought sin upon all of mankind.
"Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned." -Romans 5:12
Sin separates all of mankind from God today just as it separated Adam and Eve from Him in the
Garden of Eden.
BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS!!!
"...God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8
Isn't that wonderful?
Jesus, the Son of God, came to Earth as a man to suffer and die so that YOU can live forever!!!
"...he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." -Isaiah 53:5
Think of someone in YOUR life who you love so much that you would be willing to die for them. That feeling,
as tremendous as it seems, is only a shadow of how much Jesus loves YOU.
So after doing all of this for you, what has Jesus asked in return?
"Come unto me all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28
All that the Lord Jesus Christ asks of YOU is that you come to Him by faith, believing in the sacrifice that
He has made to pay for your sins (past, present, and future!), and He will come to live in your heart forever!
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." -Revelation 3:20
The Bible promises that in order for you to know Him personally, all you have to do is ask:
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." -Romans 10:13
When you receive Christ as your personal Savior and He delivers you eternally from the torment of Hell,
the Bible says that all of the angels in Heaven rejoice at YOUR salvation!
Can you think of any reason why you should not accept God's free gift of salvation through Jesus?
If not, then wouldn't you want to share in the peace that comes from the knowledge that God
has extended His promise of eternal life to YOU?
To receive the salvation of the Lord NOW, pray the following prayer
(or something similar in your own words) and receive the Joy of His Salvation:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that You died to set me free from the
pains of sin and death. Please come into my heart to live through me so that I
might have eternal life in You.
AMEN.
If you have just received Christ as your Savior, please send us an email so that we may
rejoice together in your salvation!!! We will also send you send you some free information
by email to help you learn to live the life that God has prepared for YOU.
