 THIS
GREAT DISCOVERY BEGINS WHEN YOU REALIZE GOD
LOVES YOU AND HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR
LIFE |
| GOD
LOVES YOU |
 "For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16 |
| GOD
HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE |
| "...
I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly"
(a life full of meaning and purpose). - John
10:10B |
|
The
Bible demonstrates the fact that God loves
you and wants you to enjoy the abundant life.
Why
are most people not experiencing God's love
and living the abundant life?
|
 BECAUSE
... MAN IS A SINNER AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM
FROM GOD |
|
"...
Your iniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid his face
from you..." -Isaiah 59:2
|
|
|
|
God
did not make man as a puppet on a string to
love and obey Him automatically; but gave
him a will and freedom of choice.
Man
chose to disobey God and go his own self-willed,
sinful way.
Every
one of us, you and me included, has chosen
to disobey God in many ways.
|
|
"For
there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth
good, and sinneth not." -Eccles.
7:20
"For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God." - Romans 3:23
|
| Sin
is missing the mark of perfection; a falling
short of God's plan for your life and results
in spiritual death. |
|
"For
the wages of sin is death..."
(separation from God in Hell). - Romans 6:23A
|
 MAN'S
SELF EFFORTS CANNOT REPAIR THE DAMAGE CREATED
BY SIN
|
| Man
has attempted to bridge the gulf which separates
himself from God by doing good works ... living
moral lives ... devising profound philosophies
... and even being religious ... but he has
always failed. |
|
|
|
"Not
by works of righteousness which we have done..."
-Titus 3:5A
|
|
There
is only one remedy for the problem of Sin
and Separation
|
 JESUS
CHRIST CRUCIFIED IS GOD'S REMEDY FOR SIN |
|
"For
Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the
just for the unjust, in that He might bring
us to God..." -1 Peter 3:18A
|
| When
Jesus died on the Cross, He paid for all our
sins and bridged the gulf that separated us
from God. |
|
|
| God's
love is greater than man's sin. |
|
"But
God commendeth (proved) His love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us." -Romans 5:8
|
| Jesus
died a humiliating, agonizing death, but He
didn't remain in the grave. He rose again that
we might have a personal relationship with God. |
| The
gulf created by our sin has been bridged by
Jesus' death and resurrection. |
| "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." -Romans 10:9 |
|
It
is not enough to discover that God loves you
and has a plan for your life ... that man
is a sinner ... and Christ is God's remedy
for sin ...
|
 YOU
MUST PERSONALLY RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR LORD
AND SAVIOUR |
|
Receiving
Christ is as simple as taking these four steps:
- Realize
your sin has separated you from God.
- Be
willing to turn from your sin to God (this
is called repentance).
- Believe
that Jesus died for your sins and He rose
in victory over death.
- Invite
Jesus Christ to take control of your life
|
|
Trusting
Christ is more than mentally recognizing Him
as the Son of God or having an emotional experience.
You must receive Him as your Lord and Saviour
by faith.
|
| THE
BIBLE SAYS... |
| "But
as many as received Him, to them gave He power
to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name." -John 1:12 |
| CHRIST'S
INVITATION |
|
"Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear my voice,and open the door, I will come
in to him..." -Rev 3:30
|
|
If
the following prayer expresses the desire
of your heart you can pray this prayer and
Jesus Christ will come into your life as He
has promised.
|
Lord
Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Thank You for
dying on the cross for me. I now invite
You into my life as Lord and Saviour. Take
control of my life and make me what You
want me to be. Amen
|
| THE
PROMISE |
|
"For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved." -Romans
10:13
|
|
If
you trusted Christ as Saviour, you have an
exciting life of spiritual growth ahead of
you. Here are some ways you can grow spiritually.

with others the commitment you have made.
