Our greatest desire is for
people to come to know God personally. The simple truth is
that there is a God who created you and loves you very much.
(Genesis 1:1) He gave us life and deserves our gratitude and
love.
We, however, have chosen to disobey Him and sin against Him;
all of us have done wrong and failed to do what is right.
(Romans 3:23) We may not be more sinful than our neighbor,
or we may be far worse than anyone we know, it does not
matter. Either way, we are guilty before God. (1 John 1:8)

God is perfect, completely good, always right and fair. He
cannot tolerate sin. He cannot simply overlook the fact that
we have chosen to disobey Him. The Bible says "the wages of
sin is death." (Romans 6:23) This means that the fair
payment for our rebellion against God is death. It is the
punishment that we deserve.
Jesus, the one and only Son of God, came to earth and lived
a perfect sinless life. He was crucified even though he was
completely innocent. He received the punishment that we
deserved. He was the perfect sacrifice, He was put into our
place and took on Himself the sentence of death that should
have been ours. (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not, however, remain dead. After three days, he
rose from the grave and later ascended into heaven. He will
return for all those who are trusting in Him as their
Savior.

Jesus died for
you. You can be saved by asking Him for forgiveness from
your sins. If you are willing to repent of your sin, He is
waiting to forgive you. It doesn't matter what you have done
in the past, if you cry out to Jesus for forgiveness, He
will not reject you. The word "repent" literally means "to
turn away from." You need to look at your life, admit that
you are a sinner, genuinely desire to turn your back on that
sin, and ask Him to forgive you. If you do this, he promises
to forgive you.
True Christianity is not about attending a particular
church, or how your parents raised you, or what country you
were born in. Being a Christian means that you have a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that He is your
Savior. It's not good enough that your priest, pastor,
mother, or aunt knows Jesus, you must know Him for yourself.
They cannot believe in him for you, you must believe for
yourself.
Jesus is everywhere all the time. He can hear you now if you
ask Him for forgiveness. Please turn your life over to Him
NOW. Time slips by so quickly, don't miss this opportunity.
If you want to pray and ask Jesus to be your Savior, you can
say a prayer something like this:
|
|
Jesus, I
know that I have sinned against you. I know the truth is
that I have sinned by my own choice, and I am the one
responsible for it. I know that I have earned punishment
from You, and that the fair punishment would be death.
Jesus, I believe that You died in my place. Forgive me for
my sin. I cannot cover or take my sin away, I am relying
totally and only on You. You are the only one who can save
me. I reject my sin, I turn away from it, I repent. Come
into my life, take away my sin, and show me how to live my
life in a way that is right and pleasing to You.

If you have
prayed this and meant it in your heart, YOU ARE SAVED! You
are now completely forgiven, a new creation, innocent in the
eyes of God. Welcome to the family of God!
It is important for you to start to grow in your
relationship, you need to spend time with someone if you
want to know them well. The way to know God is through the
Bible. It's important to find a church you can attend where
they teach the Bible. If you need help finding a church,
