THE GOSPEL - Start Fresh
with God
You're not here by accident. Jesus
loves you, and He wants you to have a personal relationship with
Him. There is just one thing that separates you from God. That
one thing is sin.
People tend to divide themselves into groups
- good people and bad people. But God says that every person
that has ever lived is a sinner, and any sin separates us
from God. That includes you and me.
- "For all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
According to man's rules, people should be
punished or rewarded according to how good they are, and it might be
hard for you to understand how Jesus could love you when other
people don't seem to. But we have great news for you! Jesus
DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine! And
there's nothing you can do to make him stop!
Are you thinking that you should make things
right in your life before you come to Jesus? Many people feel
that way, but that's not what God says!
- “But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
For you to come to God you have to get rid
of your sin problem. But God says that you can't make yourself
right with God by being a better person. God wants to save you
JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
- “Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and
renewing of the Holy Ghost;” Titus 3:5
It's God's grace that allows you to come to
Him - not your efforts to "clean up your life" or work your way to
Heaven. You can't earn it. It's a free gift.
- “For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to come to God, your sin must be
paid for. God's gift to you is His son, Jesus, who paid the debt for
you.
"For the wages of sin
is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ
our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine
by giving His life on Calvary's cross. God brought Jesus back from
the dead and paved the way for you to have a personal relationship
with Him through Jesus. All that's left for you to do is to accept
the gift that Jesus is holding out for you right now.
- “That if
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
God says that if you believe in His son,
Jesus, you can live forever with Him in glory.
- "For 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." John 3:16
Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal
life that Jesus is offering you right now? If it is your sincere
desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your personal Lord
and Savior, then talk to God from your heart. Tell Him that
you recognize that you are a sinner and that you freely accept His
amazing gift of grace. Tell Him that you believe that Jesus
died on the cross for your sin and that you surrender your life to
Him.
