God
has a purpose and a plan for each one of us. He loves us unconditionally.
In fact, the Bible says that, "God demonstrates His love for
us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
The
problem is that our own sinful nature gets in the way. It separates
us from God even to the point where we don't even want a relationship with God. We aren't sinners because we do bad things; we do bad things
because we're sinners. Once again the Bible says, "All have
sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." and again, "There
is no one righteous, not even one." (Romans 3:23 and 3:10)
Our sin not only prevents us from having a relationship with a holy
God. It prevents us from having truly intimate relationships with each
other. And it causes death. God has decreed that, "The wages
of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
But
God loves us too much to abandon us. He has provided the way for us
to escape: "... but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b) God has provided the
way out. He has paid the penalty for our sin. All we have to do is accept
His gift. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved." (Romans 10:13)
Is
that all there is? There's got to be more, right? No! God tells us, "that if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved." (Romans 10:9)
That's
all there is to it. God doesn't want you to wait until you're good enough
- you never will be. He wants you just the way you are. He'll change
you. The power of God is demonstrated in changed lives.
If
you'd like to accept God's gift and come home to a home that will last
forever, then pray this prayer:
"Lord,
I confess that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died for my sins
and that you raised him from the dead. I accept your gift of salvation
and accept Jesus as my personal savior. Make me what you want me to
be. Amen."
If
you prayed that prayer, welcome home! Now you have to tell someone.
