WHO IS JESUS?
The Path to peace with God – Salvation through Jesus
God loves you and wants you to experience the peace and life God 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). God has a purpose and plan for you.
Being at peace with God is not automatic. By nature, we are all separated from God. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23). God is holy and pure, we are not.
God’s love bridges the gap of separation between you and God. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for our 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).
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).
To receive Christ, a person needs to do 4 things:
-
Admit you’re a sinner
-
Ask forgiveness and be willing to turn away from your sins
-
Believe that Christ died for you on the cross
-
Receive Christ into your heart and life
