JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING

THERE'S NO BETTER DECISION

Giving your life to Jesus changes everything.  Jesus came to reveal who God is and to restore our relationship with Him.  No matter your past mistakes or your present fears, Jesus can give you a new life in Him.  All you need to do is put your faith in Him. 

 

The Bible says this in Romans 10:9, “If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

 

It is a turning from our old ways and turning to Jesus, to ask Him for forgiveness from our sins and to give us new life in Him.

 

You can say a simple, sincere prayer like this:

 

"God, I know that I have sinned.  I am reaching out to you because I need forgiveness.  I believe that Jesus' death and resurrection provides for my forgiveness.  I turn to You and away from my sinfulness.  I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my Lord and Savior.  Thank you, Jesus, for saving me and forgiving me!  In Jesus' name, Amen!"

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

WHO IS JESUS?

JESUS IS GOD AND HUMAN.

Jesus is God in human form.  He walked on this earth just like we do (John 1:1, 5:17-18; Philippians 2:5-11).  The eternal Son of God, Jesus, already existed before coming to earth (John 17:5) but then was born to a virgin through the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20).

 

JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

Here’s the bad news: we have all sinned (Romans 3:23)  But this is why Jesus came... to pay the penalty for our sin that we could not pay for ourselves.  It was through His death on the cross that Jesus satisfied sin’s payment.  Those who accept Him as Lord and Savior can experience forgiveness and eternal life. 

 

JESUS LIVES IN HEAVEN AT FATHER GOD’S RIGHT HAND.

After Jesus rose from the dead, He went to heaven to the place where He was with the Father prior to coming to earth.  He hears our prayers and intercedes for us (Romans 8:34).

 

JESUS CHRIST WILL RECEIVE YOU IF YOU COME TO HIM.

Jesus said He would not turn anyone away who wants to come to Him in faith (John 6:37).  He’s ready to start a personal relationship with you.  Your past is never too bad for Jesus to come and help you.  It’s time to come to Him and receive His free gift of salvation.

 

JESUS CHANGES LIVES.

People who follow Jesus turn away from their old life of sin and turn to God.  For nearly 2,000 years, Jesus Christ has been changing the lives of people all over the world.  He can do this for you too!

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
