We
cannot by our own efforts get right with God. If it were possible to
get right with God through just living right or working hard, then
God would not have sent His only Son here on earth.
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, came and made a way for
us to have eternal life and abundant life here on earth.
When Jesus
died on the cross, he bore the sins of the world. He was without sin
and bore our sins.
Three days later,
God raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus Christ is now in heaven.
The Bible
says, that there is no other name given among men whereby we may be
saved, but the name of Jesus.
In
another passage, it says, that to as many as received him, he gave
power to become the children of God.
Becoming a
Christian is just a prayer away. We can have forgiveness of sins,
peace with God and have God's help in our daily life.
The
Bible says, 'that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved.'
We
can pray: Heavenly Father, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I now
say with my own words that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life and
believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. I thank you
for saving me to eternal life and helping me in my present life. We
pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
God hears
us! The Bible says, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have
become new.'
