JESUS IS THE GOOD NEWS!
GOD'S LOVE:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life," (John 3:16)
Ever wonder how much God must love us, that He would give His Son? Ever ask yourself, "Would I have done that with my son?"
MAN'S NEED:
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:23).
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord," (Romans 6:23).
Sin has built a wall of separation between God and mankind. If we are ever to get close to God, sin must be dealt with.
JESUS' PURPOSE:
"And you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins," (Matthew 1:21).
If someone is not aware of sin in his/her life, they will never see their need for Jesus.
MORE GOOD NEWS!
LIFE:
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly,"
(John 10:10).
Jesus does more than merely forgive people of sin. He imparts a quality of life that has purpose and meaning; life that includes love, joy and peace.
REST:
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest,"
(Matthew 11:28).
Jesus wants us to come to Him now, just as we are, not trying to "clean up our act" first. He can give rest to our very souls.
COST:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God," (Ephesians 2:8).
You can't earn forgiveness - but you can receive it - for free!
HOW?
BORN AGAIN:
"Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," (John 3:3).
Asking Jesus to come into your heart, forgive your sins, and to lead you through life is the born again experience.
JESUS KNOCKS:
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me," (Revelations 3:20).
Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart.
Won't you welcome Him in?
PRAYER:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness," (1 John 1:9).
You can pray something as simple as this:
DEAR GOD,
thank You for sending Jesus.
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness.
I want to turn away from my sins.
Jesus, please come into my heart.
I want to be born again.
I want to follow You.
Please make me the person You want me to be.
In Jesus' name, AMEN!
KNOW THIS:
"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God," (1 John 5:12 & 13).
When you ask Jesus to come into your heart, God wants you to know that He forgives you. What happens next? Growth.
HOW CAN WE GROW?
Praying/talking with God.
Reading your Bible.
Fellowship/Church
Telling others about Jesus.
