“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:1-2, KJV
God’s Love and His Plan For You
God loves you and wants you to experience his peace and life. The Bible says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16)
The problem - Sin and separation
People are sinful by nature. Therefore, being at peace with God is not automatic, because by nature you are separated from God. The Bible says: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
The Solution - The cross
God’s love bridged the gap of separation between God and you. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for your sins. The Bible says: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24)
Our Response - receive christ
You cross the bridge into God’s family when you receive Christ by personal invitation. The Bible says, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
“God is inviting you to be part of the story He is writing throughout the ages to come. He is offering salvation to you today, which is your invitation to the rescue God offers. “
You can embrace the rescue of God by simply:
1. ADMIT your spiritual need. “I am a sinner.”
2. REPENT and be willing to turn from your sin.
3. BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and God raised him to life.
4. RECEIVE, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
CHRIST says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20).
The BIBLE says, “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
What to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that you came to earth, lived a sinless life, died for my sins and God raised you back to life on the third day. I want to turn from my sins. I invite you now, to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“The moment you trust Jesus Christ, you become a CHILD of God and His Spirit begins to LIVE inside of you. You have become part of His story. The more you grow in your relationship with God, the more of His story you will begin to see & understand in your life. All of your sin, past and future, is forgiven, and you now find total acceptance before Him. When you begin this relationship, Jesus promises to be with you through all the UPS and DOWNS and in the joys and difficulties of this life. He loves you with an EVERLASTING, unchanging love. And not only has He promised eternal life, but He came so that you could also experience purpose, fulfillment, and freedom in this life.”
