Jesus?

Francis Chan: Just Stop and Think

( I recommend watching this video...its long but well worth it)

This video will help explain a lot about God, Jesus, and what it means to be a Christian

.........................................

Romans 3:23  "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.  

- Admit that you are a sinner.

Romans 6:23a  "...The wages of sin is death..."

Sin has an ending.  It results in death.  We all face physical death, which is a result of sin. But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity. The Bible teaches that there is a place called the Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever.  It is the place where people who are spiritually dead will remain.

- Understand that you deserve death for your sin.

Romans 6:23b  "...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Salvation is a free gift from God to you! You can't earn this gift, but you must reach out and receive it.

- Ask God to forgive you and save you.

Romans 5:8,  "God demonstrates His own love for us, in 

that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!"

When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin's penalty. He paid the price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He has done for us, understanding that  we are now joined with Him, and that He is our life.  He did all this because He loved us and gave Himself for us!

- Give your life to God... 

His love poured out in Jesus on the cross is your only hope to have forgiveness and change.  

His love bought you out of being a slave to sin.  

His love is what saves you --  not religion, or church membership.  

God loves you!

Romans 10:13  "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord  will be saved!"

 -Call out to God in the name of Jesus!

Romans 10:9,10  "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting  in salvation."

- If you know that God is knocking on your heart's door,

ask Him to come into your heart.

Jesus said,

Revelation 3:20a "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him..."

  Believe in Him.

  Ask Him to come in to your heart  by faith,

 and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.

 Open the Bible to the Gospel of John and read what God says about Jesus,

 about you, and about being born again.

 God will help you.  He loves you.

Don't go on this journey alone, tell at least 3 other people about

this important, life-changing decision you have made.

Find a local church where the Bible is preached. Talk with someone where you picked up the newsletter. It is important to get connected with other believers.
