The Good News

1. God has a plan for you—peace and life

God loves you and wants you to experience the peace and life He offers.

The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, NKJV). He has a plan for you.

2. Sin—separated from God

Being at peace with God is not automatic. By nature, we are all separated from Him.

The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23, ESV). God is holy, but we are human and don’t measure up to His perfect standard. We are sinful, and “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23, ESV).

3. God’s remedy—the cross

God’s love bridges the gap of separation between you and Him. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for your sins.

The Bible says, “‘He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed’” (1 Peter 2:24, NIV).

4. Our response—receive Christ

You cross the bridge into God’s family when you accept Christ’s free gift of salvation.

The Bible says, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12, NKJV).

To receive Christ, a person needs to do 4 things:

Romans 10:13 says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”(ESV).

Here’s a prayer you can pray to receive Christ:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and help me to do Your will. In Your Name, amen.”

Now that you have prayed that prayer through your belief and faith you are born again. We would love to hear from you by clicking on this link so we can help you in your faith journey.
