Is Something Missing
In Your Life?
God loves
you and wants you to experience His peace,
joy and love. God created us to know Him.
By choosing to disobey Him and go our own
willful way, we have been separated from His
presence in our lives. Throughout history,
individuals have tried in many ways, including
good works and religion, to bridge this gap
of separation. Yet they always find there’s
something missing. That something is someone—Jesus
Christ. Jesus died on the cross and rose from
the grave, paying the penalty for our sin
in bridging the gap between God and us. You
can have a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ if you are willing to have the courage
to:
1-
Admit you are a sinner. “…for
all have sinned, and fall short of the glory
of God…”—Romans 3:23
2-
Admit you need God’s mercy and love provided
in Jesus. “But God demonstrates His
own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.”—Romans
5:8
3-
Make the choice to receive Jesus Christ as
your personal Lord and Savior as you trust
His death on the cross for the payment of
your sins. “For it is by grace you have
been saved, through faith—and this not
from your selves, it is the gift of God—not
by works, so that no one can boast.”—Ephesians
2:8-9
4-
Turn from your way of living to His way of
living—obedience to God’s Word.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that
your sins may be wiped out, that times of
refreshing may come from the Lord…”—Acts
3:19
Would you
like to have your life filled with Jesus Christ
so that you can have the comfort of God, the
joy of forgiveness and the peace of mind that
only the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, can
give? If you answer is yes, read the following
prayer and see if it says what you are feeling.
What to Pray…Dear
God, thank you for loving me. I know that
I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. Thank
you Jesus for dying on the cross to pay for
my sins. I want to turn from my sins to give
You control of my life. I invite You, Lord
Jesus, by the person of the Holy Spirit, to
come into my life right now. Thank you God
for salvation, eternal life and a new life
in Jesus Christ. I commit my life to trust
and follow You as my personal Lord and Savior.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
God’s
Assurance…If you just made this prayer
your commitment, on the authority of God’s
Word you are a new person in Jesus Christ.
Welcome to the family of God.
