How do I connect with God?
Does God exist? Is there life after death? What is the meaning
of life? Is this as good as it gets? Is it possible to live
forever? Is it possible to have a relationship with God? Since
the beginning of time people have looked for the answers to
these questions. And many search for the purpose of their very
existence. Through much study and scientific evaluation a
formula exists that, in fact, answers these questions. It can be
simplified using the word LIFE.
LIFE
What's love got to do with it?
Answer: Love has everything to do with it! God created you to live in a relationship with Him.
Question: But if God loves you and desires a relationship, why do you feel isolated from Him?
Answer: Sin is what isolates us from God. Sin is rebellion against God and keeps us from eternal life.
LIFE - Isolation
Nobody's perfect...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
Sin is the cause for physical and spiritual death...
"For the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23
Question: How can we get past this isolation and get in good with God?
Answer: Forgiveness, it is the solution to the isolation problem.
LIFE
Jesus died for all sins once, for everyone... to bring you to God." I Peter 3:18
The only way our relationship can be restored with God is that our sins must be forgiven. Jesus Christ died on the cross for this very purpose. His death made it possible to be forgiven, but... you have to ask for it!
Question: Eternal life... real or ridiculous?
Answer: Eternal life and a one-on-one relationship with the Creator of the universe can be a reality for you now and forever.
LIFE
Jesus came to give us the most incredible life possible. John 10:10
"Yet to all who received Him (Jesus), to those who have believed in His name He gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12
The ability to have the life you've always dreamed about is within your grasp. NOW!!!
Want life? It's as easy as ... ABC
A - Admit that you are a sinner and you are willing to turn 180 degrees from your sin, that is repent. "Repent, then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out." Acts 3:19
B - Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again from the dead. "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
C - Confess verbally and publicly your belief in Jesus Christ.
Pray this simple prayer and get life...
"God, I now admit that I am a sinner. I believe that You sent Jesus, who died on the cross and rose from the dead paying the penalty for my sins. I am asking that You forgive me of my sin and I receive Your gift of eternal life. It is in Jesus' name that I ask for this gift. Amen."
CONGRATULATIONS!! You just... GOT LIFE!
