Do you have a plan for your life? Do you know
God has a plan just for you, to save you from sorrow?
Do you know that
God loves you so much he sent his only Son to save you from the penalty
of sin?
The story of
God's love is
recorded in the Holy Bible, his Word of Life intended for all people!
In fact, his Son, Jesus, also loves us all
so much that He died on the Cross at Calvary
to save us because....
We
are all sinners....
- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God- Romans
3:23
- If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is
not
in us- 1John 1:8
There
is a penalty for
sin....
- For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life
through
Jesus Christ our Lord- Romans 6:23
- He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth
not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God- John 3:18
We
cannot save
ourselves....
- Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according
to his
mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the
Holy Ghost- Titus 3:5
- For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he
is guilty of all- James 2:10
But,
Salvation has
been provided for forgiveness....
- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it
is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast- Ephesians
2:8-9
- 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- John
3:16
- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man
cometh
unto the Father, but by me- John 14:6
The
conditions are
simple....
- You must repent-
- I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish- Luke
13:3
- You must confess-
- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness- 1John 1:9
- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt
believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved- Romans
10:9
- You must believe-
- And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be
saved,
and thy house- Acts 16:31
Now
is the time for
you to make a decision....
- And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this
day
whom
ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on
the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land
ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD- Joshua
24:15
- For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the
day of
salvation
have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is
the day of salvation- 2Corinthians 6:2
If you have not yet received Jesus as
your personal Saviour,
we hope and pray that God will bind whatever spirit has kept the Truth
of His Word from your heart. If you have thought that this world has
been
difficult, I tell you this- hell and eternal separation from the LORD
is
an unimaginable number of times worse!
Now is the time for decision, while you
may sit there
undisturbed with your video screen. Perhaps no one else is around. God
created the universe and all that is in it- rest assured that He will
know
your mind and what you want to say and do. Ask forgiveness for your sin
(which you can never escape alone), and accept Jesus as your Lord and
Saviour,
believing that He died to save YOU.
If you have decided today to follow Jesus, giving Him
Lordship
over your life to be cleansed of your sin, please pray
a prayer like this to God:
"God, I know
I am a sinner, unworthy
and
unclean. I repent of my sins and truly want to turn from them. I
believe that
Jesus is Your Son, and I believe in
His life, death and resurrection from the
grave for my Salvation. Please Jesus, I
want
you to come into my life and be my personal Lord and Savior right now,
forever. Amen."
Yes, it's a simple prayer. But the Gift of
Grace - Salvation
in Jesus - is simple, too! You only have to believe that these things
are
so. You only have to have faith....
Now,
go share your
new faith....
Now, go and tell a Christian friend (yes,
you likely know several)
what
you have done. You have now begun the most wonderful and beautiful
adventure
ever to be known on this earth!
- Confess Christ before men-
- Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will I
confess
also
before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.-
Matthew
10:32-33
- Join a church which follows
the
New Testament-
- Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the
Lord added
to the church daily such as should be saved.- Acts 2:47
- Tell others the Story-
- Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the
name of
the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.- Matthew 28:19-20
