GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Did you know that God has an incredibly perfect plan for your life? He
does! His greatest desire is to bless your life with that plan. The
plan comes through relationship with Him. Would you like to know how you
can have a personal relationship with a very real and personal God?
 | We are all sinners
In the Bible, God's Holy Word, we read these words: "For
all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." { Romans
3:23} That means every living person has sin in his or her life.
Because of that sin we cannot come before a Holy God.
|
 | Your sin separates you from God
Because you are a sinner, you must understand that sin separates you from
God in this life as well as throughout all eternity. "For the
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord." {Romans 6:23} Although you deserve to be separated
from God, God offers each of us the free gift of salvation.
|
 | God provides a way
Part of God's plan for your life includes providing a way to know
Him. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While
we were yet still sinners, Christ died for us." {Romans 5:8}
Because of His incredible love for you, He provided His own Son to die on
the cross and take on Himself the punishment for your sins. "For
God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." {John
3:16}
|
 | Each of us must respond
To receive God's offer of salvation, you must confess that you are a
sinner and you must be willing to turn away from your sin and acknowledge
Jesus Christ as Lord of your life. "If you confess with your
mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and
are saved." {Romans 10:9-10} Pray to Him right now, asking
Christ to forgive you and to be your Savior.
|
 | Thank Him for your new life
Once you have prayed and asked Jesus to save you, you can rejoice in
knowing that your prayers have been heard. "For everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." {Romans 10:13}

If you have just prayed to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, let me be
the first to welcome you into the kingdom of God! You can now begin to
build a relationship with the Living God and experience His wonderful plan
for your life.
 | First, share your decision with someone who cares about you.
It's important that you be affirmed in your new found faith.
|
 | Second, begin to learn about God by reading the Bible.
|
 | Third, find an active, Bible believing Christian church in which you
can become a part. Fellowship with other believers is crucial in
order to grow in your relationship with the Lord.
|
 | Finally, pray. Ask God to reveal to you the glory of who He is
and what a relationship with Him is all about.

God bless you,
