WANT TO KNOW GOD?
|
The problem is our sinfulness keeps us from having this relationship with God. The Bible teaches, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Our sin is separating us from a holy and just God. Moreover, God’s Word makes it clear that, “the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Our only hope rests in the love of God, demonstrated in that, “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). God “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
As is stated, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life in submission to God’s will. Christ is the spotless sacrifice to remedy our sin problem. He paid the penalty for our sins by His death upon the cross. Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day.
You can receive this salvation and have eternal life and an intimate relationship with God by turning from your sins and placing your faith in Christ alone. “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
This very moment you can have eternal life if you will; (1) Admit you are a sinner, (2) be willing to turn from your sins, (3) believe Jesus died for you on the cross and rose from the grave, (4) through prayer invite Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.
