GOT JESUS?
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
Where Will You Spend Eternity?
God knows about everything that has brought you to this very moment, and He loves you. He understands your feelings and wants to help you to live a better life, but He isn't pushy. He won't force Himself upon you. God is waiting for you to be at the place where you are willing to recognize His plan, call out to Him and invite Him into your life.
What is His plan?
God's plan was to redeem mankind from sin through the sacrificial life and death of His only Son, Jesus.
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever shall believe on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." God loved us so much, He wanted to give us His best and that's why He sent Jesus. Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. There was no greater sacrifice to the Father God than to give up His only Son, Jesus. It was hard for Him, but it was also right in His sight. Through Jesus sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, mankind was given an opportunity to be redeemed from sin.
God tells us in His Word that sin must be paid for, and the only payment acceptable in Gods eyes is the blood of His only Son, Jesus Christ. When we accept Jesus, we are accepting Gods plan and God can then start working with us. Our simple faith in His plan opens the door for our heart to change, and then our life can start changing too.
God gave His best when He gave us Jesus Christ, and there is nothing else we can do to earn His grace. Jesus earned it for us. He took our blame and our sins. He died and rose again so that we might be free and clear in Gods sight. Now, all we have to do is realize our need for God and accept that Jesus Christs death and resurrection is His plan for our redemption and go to Him in prayer.
Romans 10:9-10 tells us, "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Sometimes people make this difficult, but God has made it very simple. All He asks is that you believe that Jesus took your sins in your heart and confess it with your mouth. Together, these things bring about redemption. Together, they open the doorway so that you can be redeemed.
