Know
Jesus? Want to be introduced?
W
hy would you want
to meet Him? Because He wants to meet you
so badly, and because He's the only way to spend eternity
in Heaven! We can meet Him by going down what's known as
the Roman's Road, its in His book, the Bible!
- Our
first stop is at Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
This tells all of us, you and me included, that not
a single person in the world is perfect, which is what
is required to get into Heaven and God's presence. Sorry,
you just can't do it...
- The
next stop is at Romans 6:23 - For the wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
God created us because He wants to be with us; "for
you have created all things, and for your pleasure they
are and were created." (Revelation 4:11). God doesn't
need you or me, He WANTS you and me! But
because of our sin (anything we do, think, or say that
is outside of what God want's for us is a sin) we can't
stand in the presence of the perfect God.
- Third
stop along the road, Romans 5:8 - But God showed
His love to us. While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us.
Since God wants us to be with Him so much, and since
we could never be perfect enough, He sent His son, Christ,
who was and is perfect enough, to pay the price
for our sin... He died!
- Almost
there, stop four! Romans 10:9-10 - If you say
with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved from the punishment of sin. When we believe in
our hearts, we are made right with God. We tell with
our mouth how we were saved from the punishment of sin.
All that we have to do to have all of our sins taken
away, to be able to stand in front of God, is to accept
what Christ did for us! Simply believe and confess that
Jesus Christ, the perfect, sinless son of God, died
for you, and that God raised Him back from the dead
after He paid the price of your sin. No matter how bad
you have been, there is nothing you could have done
that Christ's death isn't enough to pay for. God want's
you back, just as you are now, and that's why He sent
Christ for you!
- We're
here! Romans 10:13 - For everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved from the punishment
of sin.
Here is my best friend, Jesus Christ! He's my best friend
because He has done so much for me. I sure hope you
will accept Him as your best friend and let Him save
your eternal life too! Just pray and admit to God the
simple fact that you know you have sinned and can't
be as perfect as Him, that you believe that He sent
His son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for your sins,
and that you want to ask for forgivness for them and
accept His gift of Christ's death and resurection and
payment for your sins: Dear Jesus, Please forgive
me of my sins. I trust in you today, JESUS, and only
You, to take me to HEAVEN when I die. Thank you for
saving me. Amen.
