Do You Know Jesus?
The most important and thrilling discovery in life is finding your way home to God. There are signposts that point us home to Him.
You can know His love, receive His forgiveness, and begin a new life with Him.
God’s Heart Toward You
God’s infinite love reaches out to embrace you. He desires to cleanse you of your sins. He longs to give you peace of mind and purpose for living. He longs to give you the assurance of a home in heaven with Him.
God’s love is not distant or indifferent. He reaches out to you and invites you into relationship with Him.
“For God 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“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that you may have life, and that you may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10Jesus came so that you could experience life with God — not simply know about Him, but know Him.
Forgiveness
Our Need for God
The most desperate need of people everywhere is to be forgiven by God and restored to fellowship with Him. Although we were created to enjoy His presence, humanity’s rebellion against God’s rulership has cut communion with Him.
This rebellion is the root of all sin and has resulted in the evil, sadness, and trauma we experience in our world.
Sin separates us from God, but God does not leave us without a way back to Him.
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.”
— Isaiah 59:2
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23
The story does not end with our separation from God. Through Jesus, God offers forgiveness, restoration, and a way back into relationship with Him.
Repentance & Faith
Your Way to Jesus
What does it mean to commit your way to Jesus? First, it means repenting and turning away from your old way of living. In turning to Christ, you must turn from your sins and from human effort to save yourself.
This commitment means fully trusting in Jesus’ death and resurrection for you as the only payment ever needed for your sins.
God offers forgiveness and new life to you, right now.
You can experience the way home to God. You can become a member of His family now.
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”
— John 1:12
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved… For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
— Romans 10:9–10, 13
Respond to Jesus
Make This the Prayer of Your Heart
Lord Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for me. Right now, I repent of my sins and trust Your shed blood as full payment for all my sins.
I believe You are the Son of God and that God raised You from the dead. I now receive You as my personal Savior and commit my life, without reservation, to You as Lord.
Thank You for hearing my prayer, forgiving my sins, and coming into my life as promised.
Amen.
If you have prayed this sincerely, take a moment to thank God for what He is beginning in your life.
