"I have loved you with an everlasting love..."
God speaking to Israel in Jeremiah 31:3
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
God explaining His love for us in Romans 5:8
In other words, nothing you could do would make God love you any less and He cannot love you any more than He already does.
GOD LOVES YOU VERY MUCH AND WANTS YOU TO BE A PART OF HIS FAMILY.
However, just like in families here on earth, relationships can be broken. Our relationship with God is broken by the selfish things we do, choosing what we want instead of what God wants. The Bible calls this "SIN".
The Bible says this about us and sin...
"For all have sinned..." Romans 3:23a
"The wages of sin is death.." Romans 6:23a
SO YOU SEE, THERE'S A PROBLEM... WE'RE SEPARATED FROM GOD BY OUR SIN.
AND SEPARATION IS DEATH.
PHYSICAL DEATH SEPARATES SOUL FROM BODY.
SPIRITUAL DEATH SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD.
SO HOW DO WE FIX THIS RELATIONSHIP ? ? ?
WE TAKE GOD'S WAY OUT ! ! !
"Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..." 1st Peter 2:9b
The Bible talks about how to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD...
"The wages of sin is death, BUT the GIFT of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross. He took our punishment (separation from God in a place called hell) and offers us a gift instead (relationship with God in heaven). All we have to do is believe and receive His wonderful gift...
"But as many as received Him [Jesus], to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." John 1:12
GOD WANTS TO ADOPT YOU INTO HIS FAMILY ! ! !
HE LOVES YOU ! ! !
WILL YOU ACCEPT HIS OFFER ? ? ?
IF YOU SAID "YES", TALK TO GOD RIGHT NOW.
ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOU FOR YOUR SINS.
ASK JESUS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD OF YOUR LIFE.
AND REST ASSURED THAT HE WILL...
ALL THESE PROMISES ARE IN THE BIBLE.
IF YOU'VE JUST PRAYED AND ASKED JESUS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR,
PLEASE TELL US ABOUT IT. WE'D LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU
AND HELP YOU GET STARTED IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. |
