Purpose and God
God designed each of
us uniquely and gave us specific gifts and talents to
fulfill His purpose for our lives. With His help we can be guided into
a life filled with joy and satisfaction.
God Loves You
God loves you and wants you to know Him so He
can fill you with peace and give you real life -- forever. "God loved the
people of this world so much that He gave His only son, so that everyone who
has faith in Him will have eternal life and never die." Jesus said,
"I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its
fullest."
Since God planned for us to have peace and life,
why are we so far from God?
We are Separated from God
Since the beginning of time, we have chosen to
disobey God and go our own way. We still make this choice today. This results
in separation from God.
"All of us have sinned and fallen short of
God's holiness." Sin is choosing to say or do or think things that are
against God’s plan. "The result of unforgiven sin is death. But God’s gift
is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord."
There is only one way to reach God.
Jesus Christ Died for our Sins
Jesus Christ is God's Son. He is the only One
who can bring us back to God. Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the grave.
He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.
"There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is
the only One who can bring us to God." "Christ died once for our
sins. An innocent person died for those who are guilty. Christ did this to bring
you to God."
God has provided the only way – we must make the
choice.
We Must Receive Christ
We must trust Jesus Christ to forgive our sins
and receive Him as our Savior and serve Him as our Lord. "As many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to
those who believed on His name."
Would you like to give your life over to Jesus
Christ right now? If so, you can pray the following prayer and accept Jesus as
your Savior:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a
sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my
sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the only way to
God. So now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You. Please
forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Did you pray this prayer
and ask Jesus into your life?
