Want to know God?

Want to know God?

Would it change your life if someone gave you $1 million? Most of us would say, “Yes.” There is something inside each of us that says we need a change. Well, I can’t give you $1 million, but I do know someone who can change your life. Let me share with you how your life can be changed forever.

Before God, through Jesus Christ, created this world, He knew and loved you. He knew that you would “fall short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).

God loves us even when we break His commandments and fall short of His standards. He has shown us that He loves us and wants us to know Him: “But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).

How awesome to know that God loves us even though we are unloving in our sins. The good news is “for God so loved the world (you and me) that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Sin has the great price of death on it, which we have earned through our sinfulness, but God in His love has given us the greatest gift — better than $1 million — Jesus.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). Yes, God is offering you the gift of His Son, Jesus, as the payment for your sins.  

It is a gift of eternal life; you must open your heart and confess with your mouth to receive it and be saved from your sins. “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. For with the heart, one believes and is justified, and with the mouth, one confesses and is saved” (Rom. 10:9–10). You will have a changed life for eternity. The Bible declares, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; the new has come” (2 Cor. 5:17).

By faith, receive God’s free gift of an eternal life of knowing Him and Jesus and be changed forever.
