Do you know Jesus?
Do you know Jesus? I’m not asking you if you know about Jesus, I want to know if you know Him! There's a difference, and believe me, the difference is HUGE.
If you have come here and you are looking for a change in you, your life and ways, I want you to know that God is ready and willing to help you - right now, at this exact moment, wherever you are, whoever you are. It doesn't matter what you've done in your life, God will forgive you and forget about it too. Wow, what ever you did is forgivable and forgettable!!! God loves you and He made a plan to absolve you of all guilt and shame and to wash away your sins and mistakes and give you a better new life.
God knows about everything that has brought you to this very moment, at this very place and He loves you, He understands you and your feelings and wants to help you live a better life, but He won't force Himself upon you. God is waiting for you, call out to Him and invite Him into your life, He is waiting for you.
What is His plan? What did He do to redeem us from sin? Well, God's plan was to redeem mankind from sin through the sacrificial life and death of His only begotten Son, Jesus.
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever shall believe on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world, and that includes your sins and mine. There was no greater sacrifice to the Father God than to give up His only Son, Jesus. It was hard for Him, but it was also the only way. Through the sacrifice of Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, mankind was given an opportunity to be redeemed from sin and in Jesus doing so, the bridge/connection that unites us with God that was lost so long ago was once again restored.
When we accept Jesus in our lives, God can then start working with us. Jesus took our blame and our sins; Jesus died and rose again so that we can be free. Now, all we have to do is realize our need for God and accept that Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection is God’s plan for our redemption, our salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 says, "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Sometimes people make it way too difficult to understand it, but God has made it very simple and easy to understand. All He asks is that you believe in your heart that Jesus took your sins and confess it with your mouth. Together, these things bring you to salvation. Together, they open the doorway so that you can be redeemed.
Are you ready to pray and accept Jesus as your savior? Are you ready to receive God’s plan in your life? Then talk to God from your heart for a moment and let him know that you want Him to be a part of your life and that you believe that Jesus came to earth, died for your sins, and rose again.
Here is a small and easy prayer to help you along:
“Heavenly Father, here I am, I come to you believing that you will hear my prayer; I recognize and admit that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins Father, and I pray and invite you Jesus in my heart and to be the Lord of my life. I confess with my mouth that you Jesus are the Lord, and the Son of God, that you came to earth and that you died for my sins giving me life, and I believe that God rose you from the dead and that now you sit at the throne at the right hand of God. Now I declare I am saved, I am free from sin, I am reborn, and I am asking you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and I thank you for being here. I receive your blessings and gifts. I am a child of God! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen”
Congratulations!!! Now you are a child of God (John 1:12) and a new creation in Jesus Christ (2 Cor 5:17). As your first experience with the Lord, I recommend you to read in your bible 1stJohn, 2nd John & 3rd John, and also read Romans 8, this will help you.
Now that you have made this commitment to God today, e-mail our ministry and let us know about your salvation, about your decision to trust in God. I would like to send you e-mails to help you along the way, in this new phase of your life. God has great plans ahead for you and remember that He is able to change you from the inside out, and turn circumstances around for good, keep talking to Him and prepared to see His wonders. May the joy of the Lord grow in your heart filled with His presence and love.
May God bless you always
Welcome the family of God and welcome to the presence of the Lord!!!
