So Now What? What Does That Mean To ME???
To understand the incredible impact of Jesus Christ you must first understand who He is. Many have asked the question "Who is Jesus?" Some say He is a prophet. Some say He is a great teacher. Some believe He is a liar or a madman. Some say He is the ideal man. Many believe He is the Son of God. Countless call Him their Savior.
Jesus is a man of history. Historians have no doubt of His existence and historical evidence provides proof.
Many people have claimed to be God. Jesus is the only man in history who has demonstrated through His actions His supernatural power. Only Christ rose from the dead. Other religious leaders such as Mohammed, Buddha, and others died and remain in their graves. Jesus Christ is divine. The influence Jesus has on individuals is life changing. He gave His life for YOU. And all you have to do is believe in Him and ask Him into your life to be saved. He is waiting to know. How will you respond?
Will You Reject Him?
The sentence God passes against us is entirely just, because he gives us exactly what we ask for. In rebelling against God, we are saying to him. ``Go away. I don't want you telling me what to do. Leave me alone.'' And this is precisely what God does. His judgement on rebels is to withdraw from them, to cut them off from himself--permanently. But since God is the source of life and all good things, being cut off from him means death and hell. God's judgement against rebels is an everlasting, God-less death. The end result is that God gives us what we ask for and deserve. He condemns us for our rejection of his rightful rule over our lives. We not only have to put up with the messy consequences of rejecting God here and now, but we face the dreadful prospect of an eternity of separation from him, without life or love or relationship.
Or Will You Accept Him as YOUR Savior??
When we accept Jesus as our Savior God wipes our slate clean. He accepts Jesus' death as payment for our sins, and freely and completely forgives us. He pours his own Spirit into our hearts and grants us a new life that stretches past death and into forever. We are no longer rebels, but part of God's own family as his adopted sons and daughters. We now live with Jesus as our ruler.
I Want To Accept Him! Help!!!
So you want Jesus in your life? It is easy to do. Simply talk to Him. He is always there, ready and waiting. You can pray your own prayer or you can say this one:
" Lord Jesus, I need you. I confess to you that I am a sinner and have sinned against you. Please forgive me of my sins! I turn my life over to you and accept You as my God and Lord and Savior. I invite You to come into me and to take control of my life in every area of my being. I give you permission to be my Lord and Master forever..
Thank You, Father God, for forgiving my sins -- past, present and future -- and for sending Your Son, Your only Son, Jesus, to die for my sins and to give me eternal life.
Thank You, Father and Jesus, that You have promised that You will never leave me or forsake me now that I have asked you to come into my life. Amen."
NOW what??
Well, my friend, if you have prayed this prayer then you are now a brother or sister in Christ, meaning you are a Christian. I welcome you into the family and praise God for you! Please let us know. We want to celebrate with you. And we are sure you probably have tons of questions. So email us at Saved!!!
