God's Remedy...The Cross

Jesus Christ is the only answer to this problem. He is the only One who can bring us back to God. He died on the Cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sin and bridging the gap between God and people.

The Bible says, "There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God" (1 Timothy 2:5).

"Christ died once for our sins. An innocent person died for those who are guilty. Christ did this to bring you to God" (1 Peter 3:18).

"But God showed how much He loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful" (Romans 5:8).

God has provided the only way; we must make the choice.

Our Response...Give Ourselves to Christ

We must trust Jesus Christ to forgive our sins and determine to obey Him for the rest of our lives. That way we can know God and find peace again.

The Bible says, "So you will be saved, if you honestly say, Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with all your heart that God raised Him from death. God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this" (Romans 10:9-10).

Is there any good reason why you cannot turn your life over to Jesus Christ right now?

How to give your life to Christ:

Admit you are a sinner and need forgiveness.
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
Through prayer, confess that Jesus Christ is the only way to God and commit to live for Him for the rest of your life.

Can it be that simple? Yes, it can. Our freedom of choice led us to drift away from Him, and we can choose to come back to Him. Like I said, He's always been there and He's asking how our own choices are working out for us.

Some of you may still have questions and that's understandable. I will address a few common questions but first, if you feel like you are ready to give your life over to Jesus Christ right now, this will make it easy

Giving Your Life to Jesus Christ

Ready to take the next step?

The Bible says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

To give your life to Christ, pray the following prayer and accept Jesus as your Savior:

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness.
I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the grave to give me life.
I know You are the only way to God.
So now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You.
Please forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.

If you made that prayer, I congratulate you. All heaven is rejoicing at the decision you just made to make Jesus the Savior and Lord of your life. May the Lord Jesus richly bless you!

As I said before, some of you may still have questions and may not feel ready yet. The following pages have some of the most common questions all of us have on our faith journey. Please read them even if you already said the prayer. If you are still searching for answers, these few questions may help. And if have just given your life to Christ, these questions will help you guide others to the cross.

People get ready for the train to Jordan

There's hope for all among those loved the most.

So people get ready, there's a train a comin'
