"What about God?"
Perhaps you've been interested in God for some time. Or it may be quite recent. In any case, considering the times we live in, you're not alone. Given the anxious and fearful and uncertain conditions of our world and our lives, to ask the question, "What about God?" would not be unusual.
God wants more than anything else for you to know Him and to understand His will for your life. He has provided the way for this relationship through His Son, Jesus Christ.
During His physical lifetime Jesus said, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME" (John 14:6). If there were any other way to save you, He would have found it. If living a good moral life would save you, Jesus would never had died. But He did - because there was no other way for you to be forgiven of your sin.
God sacrificed His Son for you because He loves you. "FOR 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 ).
SO HOW DO WE RESPOND?
(1.) Admit our sin. "ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD (Romans ).
(2.) Realize Jesus died on that cross for us. "WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US (Romans 5:8).
(3.) Repent of our sin. "GOD COMMANDS ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT (Acts ).
(4.) Receive Jesus Christ into our lives. "YET TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM, TO THOSE WHO BELIEVED IN HIS NAME, HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD (John ).
Maybe you're reading this today and you've never committed your life to Jesus Christ. You don't know forgiveness. You don't know that you would go to heaven if you died right now.
Why don't you ask Jesus to come into your life and forgive you? Take a moment right now and say a prayer like this one:
"LORD JESUS, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER, AND I AM SORRY FOR MY SIN. I REPENT OF IT AND I TURN TO YOU BY FAITH RIGHT NOW. I THANK YOU FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR ME AND PAYING THE PRICE FOR ALL OF MY SINS. I ASK YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE RIGHT NOW AND BE MY SAVIOR, MY LORD, AND MY FRIEND. FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT. HELP ME TO BE YOUR DISCIPLE FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD. THANK YOU, LORD. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN."
