A Gift is Accepted, Not Earned

Here’s some amazingly good news–God loves you, He has a wonderful purpose for your life, and He wants a relationship with you! Best of all, He’s made a simple way for you to make this vital connection with Him–through His Son, Jesus. It’s a free gift from God. You cannot earn it. If someone gave you a birthday present, all you’d do is reach out and take it.

The religions of the world would have you believe you need to do “good works” to gain God’s acceptance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Only God’s perfect Son, Jesus, died at the cross in our place. He took the punishment meant for us, upon Himself. Only He was qualified to do so.

NO ONE ELSE EVER DIED FOR YOUR SINS!

This fact alone separates the true Kingdom of God from all else. Three days after He died, many witnesses recorded the startling events that followed... Jesus was alive! And now, you have a king that loves you, ruling from the throne of heaven–through His Spirit in you. You have come to a kingdom, not a religion.

What Separated Us From Our Father?

God forgave your sins before we were even born–that’s amazing Grace! He knows your name. He knows you far better than you know yourself. He knows your thoughts before you think them. He also knows our human nature – both good and evil. But he dealt with that – once and for all. Through a relationship with Jesus, we can come to Him – boldly and without fear.

So how did we lose our relationship with our loving Heavenly Father in the first place? The earliest humans disobeyed God and became separated from Him. All mankind after them inherited that curse. That’s why none of us can claim to be “good enough” to enter heaven. But the Father, because He loves us, opened the way for us to be reconciled to Him – and to be set free so we can spend eternity in His presence. (Read Genesis, chapter 1 – 3).

No Other Name by which We Can Be Saved

God’s word makes it clear–no one can reach the Father, except through Jesus (See John 14:6). There’s only one way to come to God, and that’s through a relationship with Jesus. If you were asked, ‘Where would you go if you died tonight?’ what would be your answer? And whatever your answer, how sure are you that you’re right? This kind of decision cannot be left to chance–it has eternal consequences. You can make absolutely certain that heaven is your home and your future is secure right now by doing what God says to do... simply invite Jesus to be your personal Savior and Lord! He’s waiting for you with open arms. Here’s a prayer you can pray out loud, from your heart. If you’d like to receive God’s gracious free offer of a brand new life, it’s freely yours right now.

Those who do so are instantly placed in right standing with God–for eternity. Ready? Let’s pray:

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the wonderful name of Jesus. Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross in my place. Thank you for taking my punishment and placing it on Him. I believe Jesus came to life again on the third day. I accept you Jesus, as my personal Savior and Lord. I’ve been washed clean! The sin that separated me from God has been removed forever! Thank you God, You love me and have accepted me. I’m now a child of God and have a brand new life. Please fill me now with the Holy Spirit. Teach me your Word so I may know You and live a life of faith, pleasing to You. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name. IT IS DONE!

If you prayed this prayer–the Bible says you’re a new person inside! Your future is settled and secure – forever.

Find a good Bible church that preaches God’s grace so you can get to know your heavenly Father better. Find out all the wonderful things that belong to you as a child of God – healing, prosperity, perfect peace, love, overflowing joy... Find out His purpose for your life within His kingdom – and do it. You’ll experience a fulfilment and satisfaction that only comes by serving others with your unique God-given gifts and abilities.

Welcome to the greatest royal family in all creation. A great adventure has begun!
