"For 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).
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12). And God also
said,
"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear"
(Isaiah 59:2).
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Every human was created with the ability and need to know God and
fellowship with Him. Augustine, a minister who lived during the
fourth and fifth centuries, called this longing in each of us "that God-
shaped vacuum."
Every day we hear of people who are rich, famous, achievers, star
athletes—people who seem to have the best life can offer—yet they try
to fill that empty void in their lives with "things." They even try good
works, morality, and religion. Yet they remain empty, for only God,
through His Son, can fill that emptiness.
STEP #3: Accept the fact that God has provided only one
solution to sin and separation from Himself.
Jesus Christ, His Son, is the only way to God. Only He can reconcile
us to God the Father. Mankind may seek other solutions and worship
other gods, but Jesus Christ, alone, died on the Cross for our sins
and rose in triumph over the grave and eternal death. He paid the
penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and mankind.
The Bible explains:
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18).
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5).
For in John 14:6 we read,
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
God Almighty has provided the only way. Jesus Christ paid the
penalty for our sin and rebellion against God by dying on the cross,
shedding His blood, and rising from the dead to justify and reconcile
you back to God the Father.
You can be brought back to God, and your relationship with Him can
be restored by trusting in Christ alone to save your life from
destruction. What an incredible exchange: Your worst for God’s best!
This step happens by asking Jesus Christ to take away your sin and
to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior.
God’s Word is very clear:
"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).
At this moment you can pray the most important prayer of your life by
simply saying:
Amen!
If you have just received Jesus Christ into your life, Christian
Sulitizen want to rejoice with you.
