The Greatest Find of Your Life
We’re thrilled you're interested the
most important decision a person could ever make!
Because this is so important, please email us if you need answers to
any specific questions about this decision. Here are some basics to
get you started in thinking about making a life-changing decision
for Jesus Christ:
1. God created us because He LOVES us
and wants us to ENJOY a personal relationship with him.
"Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be
His through our union with Christ . . . because of His love, God
had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us
His children - this was God's pleasure and purpose." Ephesians
1:4-5
2. When we KNOW and LOVE God, and LIVE
according to God’s purpose for our lives, it produces tremendous
benefits in our lives.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come
that they may have life, and have it to the fullest.” John 10:10
3. HOWEVER, there is a problem! You
already know what that problem is, no one is perfect! And the
Bible calls that imperfection “sin.” Our sin creates separation
from God. Imperfection results in a consequence; and that
consequence is eternal separation from God.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans
3:23
4. God is perfect, and we are
imperfect. The only way for us to enjoy a relationship with Him
is for us to be perfect ourselves--but nobody is perfect!
5. HOWEVER, God came to earth as Jesus
to lead a perfect life and to PAY the price for OUR
imperfection! Why did God do this? Why did God send His son to
die in our place? Because He loves us so much He did EVERYTHING
to restore the relationship with imperfect people.
Jesus freely offers us this gift through faith in Him.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
6. All we need to do is accept Jesus’
free gift of salvation, accepting Him as Lord of our life. “This
righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to
all who believe.” Romans 2:22
