Reaching out to further the Kindgom, one heart door at a time

Do you Know?

 

Do You KNOW .................

 

Do you know that you are special?  Well you are. There is no one else exactly like you. You are one of a kind, uniquely and wonderfully made.
Now, I know what you are probably thinking......"Who me, special...no, not me.....I am just an ordinary person".
 Maybe you are not the smartest person in the class, or the one everyone points to and says "Wow!! they have it made". But believe me you are special. 
You are so special that someone was willing to give up everything just because He loves you so much and wants to be with you forever.
 
Sound to good to be true? 

Well, He does....

Or maybe your thinking..."Someone was willing to take my place? No Way! With all that I have done.....
no one could ever be willing to do something like that for me."
 
Sound to good to be true? 

Well, He did....

Or how about this one....."Nothing seems to go right for me, I don't have any friends. Now one likes me......No one loves me"

Sound to good to be true? 

Well, He does....

 

The Bible tells us that; "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

What does it mean to be a sinner?    

Have you ever done anything wrong?........

               Anything at all..............

A sin is anything that is wrong, or goes against God.

The Bible says that ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

All is a small 3 letter word that means no one is left out.........that includes everyone.....you, me, him, her, them......everyone.

The Bible continues and tells us that the Wages, or what we earn from our sins is death. Now, this death is more that just leaving this world, it is a spiritual death that separates us from God forever. That is the last thing that you, me, or God Himself wants for us.

So, God sent His Son Jesus, to be born, live a sinless life, to die on the cross for your sins (take your wages) and then raised Him up on the 3rd day, just because He loves you.

In the Bible it says:

"But these things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."
(John 20:31)
 
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16)

Jesus took your place.......

He Did!

God loves you.........

He Does!

God wants to give you everlasting life.........

He Will....

All you have to do is Admit, Believe, and Confess..........

All you have to do is ASK.....

Will You?

 

 

If you are ready and willing to accept the Free gift of Salvation and Everlasting life then pray this prayer from the heart:
 
God, I Admit that I am a sinner.
I have sinned against your Word and I am coming to you now asking you to forgive me of my sins.
I Believe that Your Son Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins. I want to accept your gift of Salvation and Everlasting Life, I Confess that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord. Jesus come into my heart, and life. I want to live for you because you died for me. Thank you Jesus for Loving me, I love you Jesus. I Love you God, Thank you God.

In Jesus Name I Pray Amen.
