Would You Like to Hear Some Good News?
The world today is rapidly changing. If you look around you will find that there are very few things today that are the same as they were just a few years ago. For example, the computer you bought this past year is probably already outdated. It seems that the faster our pace as a society, the harder it is to keep up with the changes.
But, there are some facts that have not changed since the beginning of time.
1. God Loves You!
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10
2. …even though you have sinned…
There is none righteous, no, not one. Romans 3:10
All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6
3. …you can be saved…
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
4. …TODAY!
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.
Isaiah 55:6Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Proverbs 27:1
5. Neglect and perish…
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? Hebrews 2:3
Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3
He that believeth on the Son [Jesus Christ] hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36
6. …or Believe and LIVE!
[Jesus said]…He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Acts 16:31
[Jesus said] Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37
7. Our response… WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST!
We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
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. Romans 10:9
Where are you?
Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
Here is how you can receive Christ:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)
8. PRAY!
How to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
That prayer is between you and the Lord, somebody can help you, but it has to come from you, it doesn’t have to be fancy - just real.
If you prayed this prayer,
The Bible says …
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? Where is He right now? What has He given you?
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Receiving Christ, we are born into God’s family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. This is called regeneration, or the “new birth.”
This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should:
1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better.
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
3. Tell others about Christ.
4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached.
5. As Christ’s representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.If you have just made a commitment to Christ, please let us know. We’d like to send you Bible study materials to help you grow in your faith.
