Who is Jesus?
Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. He came so that you might live. Forever.
Jesus loves you and cares about you. He actually created you. And, He wants to have a personal relationship with you—beginning now and lasting throughout eternity in heaven.
How can you know Jesus?
No matter who you are or what you have done, God will receive you into His family… if you invite Him. Jesus Christ offers you hope, peace and joy forever. Trust Him right now as millions of people have done and experience True Hope for yourself. Here’s how…
1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”(John 3:16).
The problem is that…
2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”(Romans 3:23) God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”(Romans 6:23)
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”(Romans 5:8)
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life—of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me.”(John 14:6)
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name.”(John 1:12) You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
