What is most important and makes the difference in our lives is that we know Jesus Christ personally. Would you say you have come to know Christ personally or are you still in the process? If you know Christ, then would you cut this out and pass it on to someone who doesn’t? If you are still in the process, then please read on.
The Bible teaches us that there is a holy God who created everything we see and cannot see and He loves us. It also tells us that our sin has separated us from God and His love.
Sin is living life our own way. In our sin, we are left under God’s wrath, and if we remain that way, then we will live eternally without Him.
The good news is God, because He loves us, did something amazing for us. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth, born as we were.
He lived a sinless life doing God’s will. He did it so He could make a sacrifice for us on a cross.
He took our sin and God’s wrath due to us on Himself to the cross, paying for your sin and mine.
He died, was buried and three days later rose from the dead victorious over sin and death.
By doing that, Jesus provided the only lifeline for us to get to God.
Is knowing these facts enough for us to reach God? No. We repent, or turn, from everything we think of what it means to reach God. We change our minds about trusting in our good works, our morals and even churchgoing if we think doing it will get us to God. We trust in Jesus and Him alone as our Savior.
Jesus said, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
We then follow Jesus as our Lord.
We read His Word, connect with His church and allow Him to have authority in our lives.
Jesus called and still calls people to follow Him, and as they do, their lives are changed immediately and progressively.
