Hope
Is there any hope?
Jesus Christ assured us that we can live in a world that fulfills our deepest longings. For He taught that God loves this world He has created, even though it has veered off its intended path. More than that, He said that God has always planned to set this world back on course.
To get back on course, we must look only to God. He alone can forgive us our past wrongs and give us a new kind of life. And since this new life is something that is given, it’s not something you earn. All you can do is look to God and trust Him to honor His promise: Jesus said to them again … “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”— John 10:10 (NKJV)
The Good News … is that no matter who you are, no matter what you have done, or what you are going through … THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!
Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?
Salvation begins with faith in Jesus Christ and believing that He died on the cross for your sins – sins of the past, present, and future. This is the type of faith you need … to be forgiven of your sins and to obtain peace with God. Here is how you can do it:
A
Admit you are a sinner and tell the Lord you want to turn from it. Jesus said, “…except you repent, you shall all likewise perish”(Luke 13:3).
B
Believe that “….Christ died for your sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day…”(1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
C
Confess… Trust in Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord. Romans 10:9 says, “…if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shalt be saved.”
Would you like to trust the Lord Jesus Christ right now as your personal Savior?
The time to trust in Christ and to make Him the object of your faith IS NOW! You can do it today by praying something like this:
“Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that in my own strength I cannot do anything to please You or to earn eternal life. I believe that You love me and that You sent your Son to die on the cross to pay the penalty for my sin. I now put my faith in You and trust completely in Jesus Christ to save me. I desire to turn away from my sin and to let You take control of my life. Amen.”
The Bible says, ” Therefore if anyone [be] in Christ, [they are] a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians. 5:17)
My friend, if you prayed that prayer in all sincerity, you can say …”I am now saved and in the family of God!” You are now “born again” through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and from this moment being transformed continuously by the Holy Spirit to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ.
