Life on
earth is not a bed of roses. Our life is a mixture of ups and downs, good and
bad, happiness and sadness, success and failure, health and sickness, life and
death.
All the
miserable life, according to the word of God, the Bible, is the result of sin
against our Creator, Almighty God.
The Bible tells
us that we have sin that we deserve eternal punishment. God can not tolerate
sin. He must punish sin and all sinners. However, God loves us so much that He
promises us to ‘save us from eternal punishment and give us eternal life to all
who obey His instruction in the Bible. The Bible says,
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God" (Romans
3:23).
To be saved from
eternal condemnation and have eternal life, you must believe what the Bible say
and accept that you have sinned against God:
We all have done and thought that are wrong in
the sight of God. All our actions are against the will of God. Whatever we do
and think are displeasing to God. We deserve God’s punishment because of our
sins against the Holy and Just God,.
"The wages of sin
is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord" (Romans
6:23).
However, God loves us
so much that He provides us the way to avoid punishment but have eternal life
with Him.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and
only Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal
life" (John
3:16).
Thus, Jesus Christ, the
sinless (1 Peter 2:22), eternal Son
of God became a man (John 1:1,14) and died to pay our penalty.
"God demonstrates
His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
(Romans 5:8).
Jesus Christ died on
the cross (John 19:31-42), taking the
punishment that we deserve (2 Corinthians 5:21). Three days later He rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), proving His victory over sin and death.
"In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).
By faith, we must
change our mindset regarding Christ - who He is, what He did, and why - for
salvation (Acts 3:19). If we
place our faith in Him, trusting His death on the cross to pay for our sins, we
will be forgiven and receive the promise of eternal life in heaven.
"For God so loved
the world that He gave His one and only Son so that anyone who believes in Him
will not perish but have eternal life" (John
3:16).
"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" (Romans
10:9).
Faith alone in the
finished work of Christ on the cross is the only true path to eternal life!
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -
and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no
one can boast" (Ephesians
2:8-9).
To receive Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Savior, say this prayer having full faith in Jesus Christ :
"Lord, I have
sinned against you and deserve punishment. Now, I understand that my Saviour Jesus
Christ died on the cross and has taken away all my sin. I invite Him to become my
Lord and Saviour. I surrender my life in His hand to control and direct my
life. Thank You for forgiving my sin and
accepting me as Your child. Help me live a faithful life as your child, in
Jesus name, Amen.”
If you pray, start living
a good Christian life. Read the Bible daily, God’s word written in other books,
internet sites, face book and always pray to God.
May God and answer all
your prayer. May God bless you.
