HI FRIEND, YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AND HERE’S WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW.
God-Jesus Christ loves you! Yes you reading this blog! Jesus came into the world for you! He brought Good News of salvation so that you can be saved! He died on a cross for you! He arose from the dead and is offering you His free gift of eternal life in His Kingdom. Nothing for you to do but to acknowledge that you are a sinner, lost without Him; believe in Him, call upon Him, invite Him into your heart, repent and turn from sin. The Bible teaches that: All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Yet God desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Romans 3:23, 1st Timothy 2:3-4. The only way that you can be saved is through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Through His atoning sacrifice and the shedding of His blood, the way was made for you and I to return to God, who calls us back to Himself. God will not force Himself upon anyone. He gave us free will to choose or reject His offer of salvation. God wants a willing and receptive heart that desires Him. It cost us nothing for our salvation. We are not saved by our works but by His grace and mercy.
Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6.
The Bible gives us the fundamentals of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in this is the centrality of the Christian faith. Here is what the Bible says: “For I have delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that, he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: and that, after he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once;” 1st Corinthians 15:3-6.
We have all sinned. We became separated from God and are therefore lost souls without Him. Yet despite of our fault and failures, we see how the Amazing Love of God has reached down to all of humanity. This can be described as the Radical Love of God; in order that He himself might bring us back to our rightful place with Him. When humanity had no hope but to die in our sins, God sent His only begotten Son to who was the atoning sacrifice, to redeem us from hopelessness to eternity with Him. Only in Him can we find direction, the path to peace in eternity and the true purpose and meaning for our lives.
Friend, if you believe in your heart and have decided to follow Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord, it means that you have made the single most important decision of your life. You have decided to leave the ways of the world and to follow His way. You have accepted that you are a sinner in need of salvation and that there is no other way to be saved the consequences of sin, than through Jesus Christ. If you have reached this place; be assured, that God-Jesus Christ loves you, sees you, hears you and knows you. You are now on a journey for something greater: eternal life, in the kingdom of God-Jesus Christ. Through faith, prayer and His word, you can walk in the spirit of Jesus Christ in a personal relationship with him.
As you continue in faith, fellowship with other Christians, be baptized, remain in prayer, reading of the word of God and know that the Bible says this: “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.” 2nd Timothy 3:12 You are now a Christian, you are a child of God! The Bible says this: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1st Corinthians 2:9.
As you embark upon this new faith in Jesus Christ, allow Christianity to be not merely your religion but your lifestyle.
CONSIDER THE AMAZING, FAR-REACHING AND RADICAL LOVE OF GOD, in His plan and effort to redeem fallen mankind. Jesus Christ the only begotten and sinless Son of God entered the world and into human history, becoming a man; and on the cross He stood in our place, as He suffered the penalty for the sins of the world. He paid the cost for our redemption with His blood that washed away our sins. Through His atoning sacrifice, God provided the only way of salvation for mankind.
