God Loves You!
John 3:16 tells us,”For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” God loves you! He is more than just some being watching over us until we do wrong; He cares about you personally and desires a relationship with you. He loves each of us so much that he sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. But why?
Our Sin Separates Us From God
Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Every individual who has ever walked this earth has sinned against God. Our sins merit a penalty, which is separation from God forever. Revelation 21:8 describes what that penalty is: “But the cowards, faithless, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death”
Jesus Paid for your Sins
Romans 5:8 says, “But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. When Jesus died on the cross, he offered full payment for the sins of every person who has ever walked the Earth. He who committed no sin took our place to receive the penalty for our sins, which is death. This is the ultimate expression of His love for us, and He offers to take that penalty completely free of any charge. Not only that, but he proved that His offer was genuine by rising from death three days later.
You Must Trust Jesus By Faith
Romans 10:9 says, “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”. If you realize that your sins separate you from God; if you believe that Jesus lived a sinless life, died for your sins, and rose again; if you understand that He is the only way you can be saved from your sins: You can turn from your sin of unbelief and works, and trust solely in Jesus to save you from the penalty of sin. Trusting Him is called “faith.” And God promises in Romans 10:13 that He will bestow His grace on those who do so: “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
