Knowing God

Knowing God 
God Loves You!

The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." 

The problem is that . . .

All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.

The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.” The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,

God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” 

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."  

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." 

You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.

If you want to accept Christ as your Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

 

“Dear Lord, 

I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me, that You rose again and that You are alive today. You did what I could not do for myself. 

I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent for my sinful life. I ask you to forgive me.

I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life. I give my life to you and accept your free gift of salvation. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you.

I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you. 

Amen.”
