Do You Know Jesus?

The world was created perfect...

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis1:1

"God saw all that He had made and it was very good." Genesis 1:31

But man rebelled against God...

"God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no-one who does good, not even one." Psalm 52:2-3

"All of us have become like one who is unclean, and our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf and like the wind our sins sweep us away." Isaiah 64:6

The consequence if this is death...

"And the Lord God said, 'The man has now become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.' So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." Genesis 3:22-23.

"For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23

But there is Good News !!!

jesus saves!!!

God did something He didn't need to do - He set in motion The Plan to save mankind...

"Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows..." Isaiah 53:4

"but he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

"For he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." Isaiah 53:12

(Isaiah lived hundreds of years before Christ, and yet prophesied about Him)

Jesus died for our sins (Luke 23:26 - 49. To show that death had no hold over Him, He rose from the dead three days later! (Luke 24).

"The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again." Luke24:7 (Jesus speaking)

"He said to them,'How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory?' And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in the Scriptures concerning Himself." Luke 24:25-27

Our belief in Jesus saves us!!!

"If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans10:9

'Fot the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of Life set me free from the law of sin and death." Romans8:1-2

So? What will YOU do?

A decision is required! And ultimately, we all have to decide whether to accept the free gift of salvation that God offers us, or reject it. Even now, as you read this, God the Father desires you to 'come home'. If this is the desire of your heart, here is a simple prayer to follow:

"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and can do nothing to earn my way into heaven. I believe that You died on the cross to pay the price for the sins in my life. I ask, Lord, that you would forgive me and come to live in my heart forever. I now turn from my sin and thank you, Jesus, for shedding Your blood on the cross for me. In Your name I pray. Amen."

The decision to receive Jesus and the gift of forgiveness is the most important thing you can do in your life. In fact, it ensures that you have eternal life. You can know this for sure because Jesus promises this to us: "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who has sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed from death to life." (John 5:24) Notice that this verse says "has eternal life" and and "crossed over from death to life". It tells you that you will have eternal life with God in heaven. More About Jesus

If you have prayed this prayer, believing that Jesus Christ alone is Lord, your ransom has been paid; you are now a child of God and truly forgiven, entitled to all of the blessings He has to offer, not the least of all being eternal life. May God bless you!
