God
made you. And God loves you!
"For
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him will not perish
but have eternal life."
(John 3:16)
No
one lives a perfect life or does everything they
should. Everyone needs forgiveness.
For all have sinned; all fall short of
God's glorious standard.
(Romans 3:23)
Everyone
deserves to be punished. We've all failed
to love God and others. We need God's gift
of Jesus.
For the wages of sin is death, but the
free gift of God is eternal life through Christ
Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 6:23)
God
sent Jesus to take our punishment and die for us.
But God showed his great love for us by
sending Christ to die for us while we were still
sinners.
(Romans 5:8)
Jesus
came alive and rose from the dead.
Jesus said, "Look! Here I stand at
the door and knock. If you hear me calling
and open the door, I will come in, and we will share
a meal as friends."
(Revelation 3:20)
Open
the door of your heart to Jesus. You can pray
a prayer similar to this one:
Thank
you, Jesus, for dying on the cross for me.
Please forgive all I've done wrong. Come into
my life and be my Savior. Thank you for loving
me and giving me eternal life. Fill me with
your Holy Spirit and help me live for you.
Amen.
As
soon as you ask Jesus for his forgiveness, you can
be sure he forgives you. Trust God's promise
that Jesus is your Savior and that you have a home
in heaven.
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved.
(Romans 10:9)
