Salvation

Where would you be right now if Jesus came back 5 seconds ago? Would you be here left to wonder what was going on or would you be worshipping Jesus in His kingdom? If you're not sure or even know for certain that you wouldn't be with Jesus, odds are you might not be where you need to be in your relationship with God. And if you think of God as a myth, you are wrong. He's as real as the sky. The story of Jesus is simple. He left heaven and came to earth in the form of a man, walked with man, and even died for man. That's right. Jesus paid the price for our sins. You see Jesus isn't just another man that lived 2,ooo years ago, He is the only begotten Son of the only ture and living God. Jesus come in the form of a man at a time that we now celebrate as CHRISTmas. Christmas is actually His birthday. Then He ministered on the earth for 33 years before His death. He walked on water, healed a leper, healed the lame, the blind, and the sick. He was God in a human body. His mission in life was to give eternal life in the place of eternal death. The way He made it possible for a sin ridden man to be saved was by making a sacrifice. This Sacrifice was actually His own life. He was beaten, mocked, whipped, a crown of thorns was thrust on His head, He was nailed through His hands and His feet, He was speared through His side, and the truth is we should have been the ones experiencing all these sufferings. But He did it for us. He did it because He loves us. When Jesus died on the cross He made a way of escape for us. But he didn't stay in the grave, because on the third day in the tomb He left the grave and came back to life. You see He defeated the Devil and Gave us perfect liberty. So Jesus is not dead, He is alive.We were all heading for a place called Hell because we have sin in our hearts, but when Jesus died He made a way for us to have eternal life. But we are still seperated from him. See we aren't one of His family members yet. The way you become a child of God is by giving your life to God. And it is a covenant a life long covenant. If you want to give your life to God, Here is a prayer you can pray, "Dear Jesus, please forgive me for being a sinner and for refusing your gift of love for so long. I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died to save me from my sins. I accept You as Lord and Savior over my life. Please come and live in my heart and make me Your child. In Jesus name, Amen." Welcome to the family of God.
