Do you REALLY know God? If you died today, are you sure that heaven is your home; have you experienced God's forgiveness and new Life?
God has done it all...your job is to simply receive it. If you haven't already, take a moment to receive the free gift offered by your heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. Accept His death, burial and resurrection as full payment for your sin and receive His gift of forgiveness and new Life.

Have you ever considered that you're not perfect?...that's right. Even you (and me) have made some wrong choices in life and actually, as the Bible calls it, have sinned. Guess what...we're not the only ones! The Bible says "all have sinned".
|
(Rom 3:23 NASB) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
|
|
In fact, Adam and Eve started the whole thing...when they sinned not only did they gain "sin" and pass it to the rest of us but they lost "Life". We not only need forgiveness for sin but we need Life (cause we're all actually "dead" or separated from Life in our spirit).
|
(Gen 2:17 NASB) but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."
|
|
It even gets worse (but it gets even better fast...keep reading). How could we, as sinful creatures, hope to live in a perfect heaven with a perfect, holy God? Not likely on our own merit...God's standard is a 10...perfect...no sin and as we learned above, we all have sinned. Unfortunately, sin has a price which must be paid (the end result is separation from God).
|
(Rom 6:23 NASB) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
|
|
God, in His love for you and me, chose to pay the penalty for sin (a perfect, holy God couldn't just look the other way, but He could choose to pay it on our behalf)...Jesus Christ (God Who manifested His Life in human history) died on a cross paying for sin and was resurrected the third day offering forgiveness and Life to those who will receive it.
|
(Rom 5:8-9 NASB) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

Will you take the time right now to receive God's forgiveness and offer of Life in Jesus Christ. This is a one time decision...it's not a commitment to do something for God but simply an acknowledgement of your need for Him and receiving His forgiveness and offer of eternal life. Pray the following prayer below (no need to be perfect here, God knows your heart). He wants to make you a part of His family...it cost God everything to offer you, by His grace, this free gift of salvation. Choose to receive it...now.
|
(Rom 10:13 NASB) for "WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
(John 3:16 NASB) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life". |
Prayer To Receive Forgiveness And New Life
Lord Jesus, today I acknowledge the fact that I have sinned and apart from You have no hope for eternal life. I believe that You are the one true God Who died on the cross for my sin and rose again. Right now I receive Your forgiveness and accept Your free gift of eternal life. Thank-You for loving me and making me Your child.
Did you pray and accept the forgiveness and new life through Christ? I'd love to hear from you! Don't worry, you will NOT get bombarded with e-mail or other stuff, I just want to pray for you.
