Do You Want Peace? Then Be Forgiven.
You can fill that void within your soul. You can have peace in your life by being forgiven by the Creator of the universe. You can be forgiven for everything bad you have ever done in your thoughts or by your actions. Those things are called sin, in case you didn’t know.
I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found
I experienced peace for the first time when I was 26. I was a lost sinner saved and forgiven by the one and only Awesome Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus gave me a new heart and life.
Heaven Will Be Awesome!
Not only can you make peace with God and have peace in your life, but if you do, you will get to live forever in heaven, which the Bible says is cooler than you or I can even imagine.
1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Are You Saved And Born Again?
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
If you think you are a good person and good enough to go to heaven, the Bible says you are wrong, my friend. Here is just one verse that says so.
Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
There Is A Solution To Our Problem.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You, me, and every other person on this earth (who isn’t an innocent child) deserve hell. There are many different levels of hell and punishment. All of them are eternal separation from the Creator and lover of your soul. And separation from your family, friends, and all the awesome things God created for us in heaven and throughout the universe!
However, you don’t have to go to hell; instead, you can go to the new heavens and earth that He wants you to take part in.
Believing In God’s Existence And Going To Church won’t Save You!
You don’t become a Christian by attending church or believing that God exists. You only become a Christian by faith in Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, resulting in a relationship with Jesus, a peace inside that passes all understanding and, someday, the glories of Heaven.
“Believing in Him,” as John 3:16 states, includes believing in who Jesus was, is, and why He came to earth. He didn’t come to earth only to be a great example for us. He came to die for our sins. He took the payment for the wickedness of all mankind. We have differing degrees of sinfulness, but we are all guilty.
You Must Receive The Gift By Faith.
God’s forgiveness and righteousness are gifts to those who will receive them, but only through acknowledging our sinfulness, that we deserve judgment by the Holy-Perfect-Creator Of The Universe, that we can be forgiven only by His Grace Through Faith In Jesus Christ and His Payment For Our Sins On The Cross.
A payment that could have only been paid by Jesus, who lived a sinless life that we can’t live no matter how hard we try.
Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Do you want to be free inside? Do you want to be saved from the penalties of sin? Do you want to avoid eternal separation from God and His amazing Heaven?
Pray to God. Just talk to Him out loud or silently in your mind.
Admit your sinfulness and your need for the only Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins on the cross.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus paid for our sins on the cross. That is why He left the glories of heaven and came here to earth. He lived a sinless life and willingly allowed people to crucify Him. So we could be reconciled to our Creator.
God created you, and He loves you! Ask Him to forgive you and be your Savior. He will do it, and you will be saved!
You must believe and have faith in Jesus Christ and what He did for you. You must believe He died on the cross to pay for our sin debt and that He rose from the grave.
God’s forgiveness, don’t leave home without it.
This below is often referred to as the sinner’s prayer. It is a collection of scriptural facts from the Bible condensed into a prayer. The words in the prayer alone won’t save you! It is from “believing by faith” what you are praying that saves you because you are confessing faith in Jesus Christ and His payment for our sins on the cross.
“God, I admit to you that I am a sinner, and I know I cannot do anything to earn my way into your kingdom. I truly believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the grave. I put my faith in His sacrifice to pay for my sin debt in full.”
In Jesus Name, Amen!
Jesus Christ and Him crucified is our only hope. Believing the words (God’s Words) and confessing them to God by faith is the only thing that can save you. He will forgive you and give you a new heart; it will be the most important thing you have ever done or will ever do!
If you prayed it “and believed it”… if you believe it and “prayed it by faith,” you will be saved, and your name will be written in the Lamb’s book of Life! If you prayed this or a prayer similar and meant it, you have a new heart! If you aren’t sure, do it again until you are sure! God already knows your heart. Trust in His Words and promises, not your feelings!
