The
Bible says...
"We
have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1 "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 "I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly."
John 10:10 Why
don't most people have this peace and abundant life that God planned for
us to have?
We
chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this
choice today. This results in separation from God. The
Bible says...
"For
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23 "For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23 Our
Attempts to Reach God
People
have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God...
The
Bible says...
"There
is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to
death."
Proverbs 14:12 "But
your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden
his face from you, so that he will not hear." Isaiah 59:2 No
bridge reaches God...except one.
The
Bible says...
"For
there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus
Christ."
1 Timothy 2:5 "For
Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to
bring you to God."
1 Peter 3:18 "But
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8 God
has provided the only way. Each person must make a choice.
The
Bible says...
"Here
I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens
the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20 "Yet
to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the
right to become children of God." John 1:12 "That
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."
Romans 10:9 Where
are you?
Will
you receive Jesus Christ right now? Here
is how you can receive Christ: 1.
Admit your need (I am a sinner). 5. Be baptized in obedience to Jesus' command (Matt. 28:19)
and to demonstrate your dedication to your new life. "Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with
him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised
from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new
life."
Romans 6:3-4 How
to Pray:
Dear
Lord Jesus, I
know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You
died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come
into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and
Savior. I will demonstrate my commitment to you by being baptized. In
Jesus' name. Amen.
The
Bible says...
"Everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 "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 “You
are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who
were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:26-27 Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who
indwells every believer. This is called regeneration, or the "new
birth." This
is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this
relationship you should: 1.
