God Created the World and Everyone in It
The first verse of the holy Bible tells us that Almighty God is the Creator of all things. And He put men and women in His beautiful earthly creation to live in it and enjoy it.
But the first created humans, Adam and Eve, sinned by disobeying God. Because of that, spiritual darkness and death entered into the creation (Genesis chapters 1-3).
----------------
Why Are We Separated from God?
Adam and Eve’s sin separated them and all their sinful descendants from the perfect, all-holy God. Through their sin, they brought death into the world — both physical and spiritual.
Sinners had no cure within themselves — no remedy for this separation from God. So it was God Himself who decided to solve this problem.
----------------
How Did God Bring Us Back to Himself?
Even though our ancestors (and we ourselves) sinned and were sent out of God’s presence, God Himself sent the answer. Why? Because of His great love for us.
Prompted by that love, God sent His beloved Son Jesus from heaven to earth to redeem us from our sins and bring us back into eternal favor with God.
----------------
How Did God Make a Way for Us to Be Saved?
How did Jesus bring us back to God? The perfect Son of God took our place and took upon Himself the sins of the world. He was horribly crucified on a Roman cross, bearing our sin and its punishment for us so that we could be forgiven by God His Father.
And then — all praise to God in heaven! — Jesus rose from the grave on the third day and soon afterward ascended back to heaven. To this very day He sits at the right hand of God Almighty interceding for us in love and mercy before God.
----------------
Jesus Shed His Own Blood on the Cross to Forgive Us and Save Us from Our Sins
Before Jesus came to earth and died for our sins and rose again, sinful men and women offered animal sacrifices to try to please God. Jesus ended all that by allowing Himself to be sacrificed on the cross for us once and for all time, taking upon Himself the punishment due to us for our sins. It is His blood, shed for us at the cross, that cleanses us from sin and brings us back into God’s favor.
----------------
Can Jesus Give Me Freedom and Peace?
To all everywhere from my heart I invite you, come to Jesus in faith and in sincere repentance for your sins. The wonderful Son of God will forgive you, set you free, and grant you true inner peace in your heart. And He will bring you into God’s eternal family, with the promise of heaven, as a son or daughter of God Almighty.
All spiritual darkness and anything that controls your life can be overcome by Jesus as He receives you to Himself and brings light to your spiritual darkness. When you come in faith to Jesus, God in His Bible says that He rescues you from the power of darkness and transfers you into the kingdom of His beloved Son Jesus (Colossians 1:13).
---------------
What Must I Do to Be Saved?
How should you respond to Jesus’ loving call to you? It’s very simple: (1) in true, godly sorrow come to God for forgiveness and with a heart to turn from your sins. The Bible calls that repentance. And (2) in your heart believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again to return to heaven, inviting you personally to have faith in Him as your eternal Lord and Savior.
----------------
What Happens When I Come to God?
Have you come to our wonderful Jesus? If so, He will give you personal victory in this life. When troubles come, He will be there to give you His love and grace to come through them with victory.
And God Himself will be pleased to be your Father and to call you His “sons and daughters.” What a glorious, eternal promise!
And as you pray and turn your old fears and anxieties over to God and His Son Jesus, you will receive “the peace of God, which passes all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).
You can “give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7, NLT). And the promise of Jesus Himself will be yours. He says to you and to all who will receive Him, “In Me [Jesus] you may have peace” (John 16:33).
And after this life you will be taken into the presence of God the Father and Jesus Christ for a joyous eternity with them — Jesus promised those who receive Him: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish” (John 10:28).
----------------
Will You Come to Jesus Today?
If God has spoken to your heart today about His Son, the Savior Jesus Christ, I invite you sincerely to receive and confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior personally. Pray the prayer below from your heart, and be forgiven for all your sins and welcomed into God’s love and His eternal salvation for you.
You can come to Jesus right now, wherever you are.
- A Prayer for Salvation: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner, and I need Your forgiveness. I turn away from my sins and turn to You with a sincere heart. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. Today I place my trust in Jesus as my Savior, and I confess Him as my Lord. Come into my life, forgive my sins, and make me a new person through Your grace. From this day forward, I want to live for You. Guide my life and help me to do Your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
----------------
Welcome to the Family of God! Now Live Joyfully for Jesus Every Day
If you prayed that sincerely to the Lord, He receives you and grants you what the Bible calls a “new birth” into the everlasting family of God. Jesus is your Savior and God is your Father forever. Pray to Him daily. If you can get a Bible, read from it and learn more about God and His Son Jesus your Savior. And ask God to help you meet other Christian believers so that you can help each other grow in your faith in Jesus Christ. May God bless you as you live for Him and love and serve Him with all your heart. And “may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you Trust in Him” (Romans 15:13).
