Tract Text
God loves you, and He wants you to live in peace with Him and to receive eternal life. The Bible Says... "...we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Since God planned for us to be at peace with Him and to have eternal life, why are many people not enjoying this experience?
God did not make us robots to mindlessly love and obey Him. Instead He gave us a will and freedom of choice. But, like Adam, we often choose to disobey God and go our own selfish ways (read Genesis chapters 2-3). This side of our nature is called sin, and it separates us from God. The Bible Says... "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...the wages of sin is death." Our sin separates us from God.
Jesus Christ is the only answer to this problem of separation from God. He died on the cross and rose from the grave to pay the penalty for our sin--completely bridging the gap between us and God. The Bible Says... "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God has provided the only way... and we must make the choice....
We can receive Jesus Christ when we believe in His message and trust in Him alone to save us. The Bible Says... "All the prophets testify about Him that every one who believes in Him [Jesus Christ] receives forgiveness of sins through his name." How to receive Christ:
What to Pray:Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am sinful and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died to pay the penalty for my sin. I want to turn from my sin nature and follow You instead. I invite You to come into my heart and life. In Jesus' name. Amen. God's Assurance: His WordIf you sincerely prayed this prayer and asked Jesus Christ to come into your life, do you know what He has given you? The Bible Says... "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved." Your New Life:When you receive Christ, you are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells every believer...this is called regeneration or "new birth." God bless you as you begin your wonderful new life in Christ. |
