In the beginning God created everything perfect;

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" (Genesis 1:31).

But man decided to disobey God, by eating from the tree of Knowledge. This resulted in sin and death. But God didn't want us to die and live without Him forever. He said, "I will die in your place." So God (Jesus) came to this earth and died on the cross and shed His blood for us;

"For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:22)

"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" (John 3:16).

If we believe this and accept Him into our heart as our Savior, He forgives us for disobedience and we are born into God's family;

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (The words of Jesus Christ from John 14:6).

Now when God looks at us, He doesn't see our sin, but a clean heart that is forgiven. Forgiveness makes us clean and white as newly fallen snow;

"But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans. 5:8)

As we yield ourselves to Him, we grow as a Christian. Just as green plants and trees grow and produce fruit, so we grow in our Christian life and produce the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control;

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23)

As we go through life, we hold on to the promise God has made, that as His child we will live with Him forever in His wonderful home called Heaven;

If you want to become part of Gods family, He will forgive your sin and make you one of His children. All you have to do is talk to Him and ask Him. He will hear you because God sees and hears us right now.

You can pray a prayer like this, if you would like:

Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive me for all my sins and come into my heart right now. Thank you, Jesus, for forgiving me of my sins and coming into my heart right now. Amen.

Once you accept Jesus into your life, you’ll begin to see things change, as Jesus comes to live in your heart. If You Prayed this Prayer You can be Assured that Your Relationship with Jesus Christ has been Restored. You are no longer viewed by God as a sinner. God sees Christ's righteousness in you;

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away; behold, all things become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Although being a Christian does not guarantee you a problem free life, it does guarantee you an All-powerful father and Saviour who will be with you as you face lifes challenges. Maybe its time you thought about where you are with God right now, and where your going with your life.

God Bless,
