GOD LOVES YOU

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life  ---John 3:16

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ---Romans 5:8

God loves you more than you can imagine.  We know in our own minds how much we love a mother, father, son or daughter but that love is nothing compared to the Agape' love that Christ has for you.  This love is a feeling that passeth all understanding.

ALL ARE SINNERS

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ---Romans 3:23

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: ---Romans 3:10

No one I know can claim to not have sinned at some time in their life.  Sinning is so easy.  It takes hardly any effort and seems that the rewards are so plentiful that we just jump right in there and do so many wrong things without thinking of the long term consequences.  Living for today may seem like the thing to do for you right now in your place in life, but think on this......where is it going to get you and what are you going to have to pay for having this attitude?

GOD'S REMEDY FOR SIN

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.---Romans 6:23

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:---John 1:12

For I 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:---I Corinthians 15:3,4

Have you ever done something wrong and wish you could go back and make it right?  I imagine we all have at one time or another.  We cannot go back and change things we have done in the past. BUT, Christ can!  Only Christ has the power to take all of our past wrongs and make them right!

ALL MAY BE SAVED NOW

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.---Revelations 3:20

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.---Romans 10:13

So many think that accepting Christ demands so much from them.  If you believe this way, you have never been so wrong!  Christ demands very little from you.  Your acknowledgment of Him as your personal Savior, repentance of your sins, believing and admitting that He died for you on the Cross of Calvary and that He raised from the dead after three days and then ascended to Heaven to be with God the Father and will one day return to this earth to gather up those who have decided to accept Him as Lord and Savior. Once you accept Christ as your Savior, you will notice that you have a different attitude towards the bad things in life and will have a desire to do what is good, pleasing and righteous and enjoy doing so.

MY DECISION TO RECEIVE CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR

To receive Christ as your Savior, talk to God.  Make the words your own words as you will be talking to God Himself and He will understand you no matter how your speak.  The important thing to remember is your discussion with the Lord MUST be honest and you must mean it!  God is waiting on you.  Know this!  No man can bring you to a saving relationship with Jesus.  You must be convicted of your sins and be repentant* of those past sins and be honestly willing to follow Jesus for the rest of your life.  Tell God how you feel.  Be honest and open.  Be humble as you  CANNOT fool God.  IF you are in this position, the Holy Spirit will direct you in all things concerning your Salvation.

If you have had this discussion with God and you know in your heart that HE heard you and you are now a NEW creation.  Please put your name and the date below as a reminder of your decision.

ASSURANCE AS A BELIEVER

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.---Romans 10:9

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.---John 5:24
