Have you come to a point in your life when you know you have a void, and you are being moved to fill that void, with a close relationship to Jesus Christ here on earth and the sweet peace of mind to know, you will live with him forever in heaven when you die. You can make that decision today! If you are ready, read on. Remember always that God loves you, even in your imperfection but for you to live with Him in eternity you must be made perfect in God's eyes.  You, being imperfect, cannot make yourself perfect.  “We are just human and we’re not perfect.” When we finally see ourselves in a mirror of God’s Word, without excuse and without hope, utterly lost and undone, is when we recognize our own imperfection and sinfulness. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) When we acknowledge this truth, we can see our separation from God who is perfect, and only God by His grace, can wash away your sins and imperfections and grant you eternal life. Grace means an undeserved favor. God graciously offers to you what you could never do for yourself.  You can never earn salvation by your works or deeds. Salvation is a free gift but you must accept it. Some people wonder how a loving God can send them to hell.  God does not send anyone to hell.  You will choose to send yourself there by rejecting and refusing to receive the free gift of Salvation He offers you. To continue in sin will result in spiritual death, which is separation from God forever. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) You have probably heard at some point in your life the following scripture verse, “For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, and that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Jesus said, “As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge them.  I did not come to judge the world but to save it.  There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words.  That very word which I spoke will condemn them at the last day.”  (John 12:47-48) Some ask why can't God just forgive you and accept you the way you are.  How can a Holy, Righteous God allow a sinful individual into His presence?  He cannot.  God desires for all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, but there is no way that God can allow a sinful individual into heaven. God is holy and His perfection would destroy any sinful person that came into His presence. Most people understand that our Father, God is a God of love and it ends there.  They do not realize that God never changes and His characteristics can never be altered or compromised.  God is love but He is also just.  God's Word is clear:  The wages of sin is death. That means you are separated from God in this life and also in the next life after you die.  No matter how much God loves you, He must sentence you to death because you are guilty of breaking His commandments. God cannot use His love to violate His justness.  He must always be both just and loving.  According to His justness, you are guilty.  But according to His love, Jesus stepped out of eternity and came into the world to die for your sins.  Jesus not only allowed Himself to be crucified so you could be forgiven of your sins but also so that God's just requirement could be satisfied. Before Christ, God always demanded an unblemished animal sacrifice for the remission of sins.  After Christ, there is no longer a need for those sacrifices because He became the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. God loves you so much that He gave you a free will to choose for yourself. You are free to act in any way you want.  God gave you free will so when you accept Him, you do so of your own choosing. A forced love would never be accepted by God. The one who forgives another is always the one who bears the pain for the wrong that was committed against them.  This is exactly what God has done.  He has not only forgiven us but He was also willing to pay the price Himself for that forgiveness as demonstrated by Jesus' death on the cross.  There are many ways to Jesus, but there is only one way to God and that is through His one and only Son.   Today is the day of salvation! Salvation is a free gift but you must accept it. Just pray this prayer...   God, I need you.  I confess that I am not perfect and that I have sinned against you by breaking your laws.  I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that he rose from the dead.  I accept Jesus as my Lord and my Savior.  I accept the free gift of eternal life and Your Holy Spirit which will guide me into all truth and empower me to turn from my sins.  Come into my life and make me the person that you want me to be.  Thank You for laying down your life for me.  I place all my hope in you for the salvation of my eternal soul.  Amen.   Jesus said that there is rejoicing in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents.  (Luke 15:10) If you earnestly prayed this prayer, you now have the assurance of eternal life which our Father God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began.  (Titus 1:2) Jesus will place your name in the book of life and He will confess your name before His Father and before His angels.  (Revelation 3:5) Jesus says that He gives you eternal life, you will never die and no one can snatch you out of His hand.  (John 10:28) Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  (Matthew 28:18-20) Salvation is free and instantaneous but renewing your mind to the ways of God takes time.  In order to know the Lord better and grow into a deeper relationship with him, you should: Go to God in prayer daily and fellowship with other believers. Find a church locally that you can fellowship with. You will find the love in that body of believers to be very strong. Let them know you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and that you need their guidance and support. If you can’t find a church leave your email address with us and we will attempt to help you find a church close to you. Read and listen to God's Word daily. Obey God moment by moment. Be a witness for Christ by your life and words. Trust God for every detail of your life. Holy Spirit:  Allow the Spirit to control and empower your life. If you are a doubter, God loves you and his forgiveness is available to you whenever you would like to receive it.  Love knows no greater act than a person who is willing to lay down their life for a friend.  And that's how God thinks of you as a friend.  He gave you life and He laid down his life for you so that you could live with Him for eternity.  But He will never force you to accept Him because true love is never forced.  You are a unique creation of God and when He made you, He formed you with a hole inside of you that only He can fill.  It is human nature to try anything and everything in this world to fill that void, but in the end, only the Holy Spirit of God living inside you can do it.  If the day ever comes that you consider yourself worthy of obtaining eternal life, you know where to find it.
