The Most Important Decision Of Your Life !

God loves you and wants you to know Him and have a relationship with Him. The bible tells us that each and every created being has an inner curiosity that prompts them to ask questions like: What is life? Why am I here? What is my purpose? When I die, is that all there is or is there something beyond this life?

The concept of God is a "difficulty" every single individual has to deal with. Believing in something you cannot see touch or feel is difficult and often beyond most people's ability to accept. The bible tells us that when people are faced with questions regarding God and mortality, that they either seek answers or they will try to fill their lives with activity that will keep them busy enough that they can shut out questions of life, God, mortality and the purpose of their existence.

The bible contains many scriptural references to this condition and it also provides detailed descriptions of what it is that blocks the mind of the individual and interferes with their ability to perceive and to know God.

Our perception of our world is limited by our 5 physical senses. Many people, even those who don't have a relationship with God have the sense that there is something beyond what they can perceive. The bible makes it clear that life is more than what is perceived in the physical realm. The bible declares that the universe is governed by both physical and spiritual laws. Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God.

God's Love
"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 NIV).

God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).

Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?
Because...

Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

Man Is Separated
"The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).

This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails.

The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf. . . .

He Died in Our Place
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

He Rose From the Dead
"Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).

He Is the Only Way to God
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'" (John 14:6).

This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

It is not enough just to know these three laws...

We Must Receive Christ
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12)

We Receive Christ Through Faith
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).

When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
(Read John 3:1-8)

We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him" (Revelation 3:20).

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

These two circles represent two kinds of lives:

Which circle best describes your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?

The following explains how you can receive Christ:

You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer
(Prayer is talking to God)

God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."

Does this prayer express the desire of your heart?

If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.

If you have prayed this prayer with faith and sincerity, then God will come into your heart and you will begin to sense His presence in your life. Please obtain a bible and spend time reading. You will find that the words of the bible will have more meaning than you ever imagined. This occurs as a result of the Holy Spirit being present in your life and this all happens as a result of your choosing to believe in Jesus Christ, the one who died for you.
