YOU NEED A RELATIONSHIP
If you want to make a real
and lasting change in your life, you need to get to know Jesus Christ, the
eternal Son of God. we're not talking about religion, which is the practice of
a particular system or denomination.
True Christianity is more
than religion. It's a relationship with the One who said, "I am the way,
the truth, and the life" (John 14:16); and, "I am the door. If anyone
enters by Me, he will be saved" (John 10:9). You need a relationship with
Him.
Him.
YOU NEED LOVE!
When Christ was crucified, He
endured unbelievable suffering. He could have ordered 50,000 angels to protect
Him, but instead He suffered for you because He loved you and wanted you with
Him in Heaven. He died to pay the penalty for your sins. The Bible says:
"The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6).
Has anyone else ever shown
such love to lost sinners? God declares that He "so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). You need this love.
YOU NEED LIFE
But there is love. Christ did
not stay in the tomb after He died. When He paid for your sins through death,
God honoured Him by raising Him from the dead. The death and resurrection of
Jesus is marvelous, life-giving events for all who believe.
Suppose someone offers to go
to prison as payment for your debts. When he is finally released, you can be
sure your debt is completely paid. You are justified - free from all claims
against you.
Christ did this for you. He
paid your sin - debt and God raised Him from His tomb to show that He was
completely satisfied with that payment (Romans 4:25).
Will you accept Christ as
your Saviour? The Bible states, "As many as received Him, to them He gave
the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). Have you taken advantage
of this amazing offer?
YOU NEED THE SAVIOUR!
If you say you don't need
Christ, you are like a dying man refusing a doctor, or a drowning man refusing
rescue. The results are fatal! YOU
CANNOT GET TO HEAVEN WITHOUT BEEN SAVED FROM YOUR SINS. God's word warns,
"Those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord ... shall be punished with
everlasting destruction" (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9). Don't let this happen to
you!
Christianity is more than a
religion. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You can begin this
relationship by confessing your sins and telling Him you accept Him as your
saviour. Will you do this right now? He is what you need!
