God Loves You and He wants you to know!

The Problem – Sin is burdensome, and we are sinful and are separated form God.

The Bible says, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21
Good News – Jesus died to cleanse us from our sins!

How to receive Jesus and the forgiveness of sins.
The Bible says, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19
Repentance means to turn from your sins. So, now you decide you want to quit the sin business! Confess your sins to God and ask Him to forgive you – and He will!
The Bible says, “that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.” Romans 10:9
Pray this prayer from the sincerity of your heart.
Dear God, I know that I have sinned against you. I don’t want to sin against you anymore. I ask you to forgive me of all of my sin, and cleanse me from it. I believe that you sent Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son, to die on the cross to pay the just penalty for my sin – death. Jesus’ blood was shed, and his life was poured out as a sacrifice for MY sins. God, because you accepted Jesus Christ as the sacrifice for MY sin, you raised Him up from the dead – making Him the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Jesus Christ lives today – and now He is my savior from sin. I ask you Jesus to be the Lord of my life. I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and I want to do your will. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
