✨ You were created for a relationship
with God that glorifies Him, satisfies you, and blesses others. Isn’t that amazing?
But you have a problem
- we all do. We have all sinned, thought bad thoughts, done bad things, not
done what we should do, etc. (Romans 3:23)
God is holy, perfect, and cannot have sin in His presence. This means that
your sin separates you from a relationship with God and destines you for
eternity in hell apart from Him. (Romans 6:23)
But the story does not end there. God loved you so much that He sent His
Son Jesus Christ to earth to live a perfect life, die on a cruel cross to take
the punishment for your sins, and then rise to life again. (John 3:16)
Jesus calls you to come to Him as your Savior and Lord - and confess and
turn from your sins to Him, place your trust in Him to save you, receive
forgiveness and eternal life, and follow him. “If you confess with your mouth
that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will he saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with
the mouth one confesses and is saved.” (Romans 10:9-10)
The Holy Spirit opens your understanding of your need for Jesus. Then, when
you place your faith in Jesus alone for salvation; He gives you true and
eternal life in Him. He cleanses you from your sins, makes you right with God,
comes into your life, walks with you, empowers you to follow Him, and you will
experience life in Him now and in Heaven for eternity! (Ephesians 2:8-9)
When you have come to Jesus Christ for salvation, He saves you, and you
become a new creation in Christ, and a child of God - His girl! ✨
