Know Him - Jesus
We’re thrilled you're interested the most
important decision a person could ever make!
Because this is so important, please email us if you need answers to any
specific questions about this decision. Here are some basics to get you started
in thinking about making a life-changing decision for Jesus Christ:
1. God created us because He LOVES us and wants us to ENJOY a personal
relationship with him.
"Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be His through our
union with Christ . . . because of His love, God had already decided that
through Jesus Christ He would make us His children - this was God's pleasure and
purpose." Ephesians 1:4-5
2. When we KNOW and LOVE God, and LIVE according to God’s purpose for our lives,
it produces tremendous benefits in our lives.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may
have life, and have it to the fullest.” John 10:10
3. HOWEVER, there is a problem! You already know what that problem is, no one is
perfect! And the Bible calls that imperfection “sin.” Our sin creates separation
from God. Imperfection results in a consequence; and that consequence is eternal
separation from God.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
4. God is perfect, and we are imperfect. The only way for us to enjoy a
relationship with Him is for us to be perfect ourselves--but nobody is perfect!
5. HOWEVER, God came to earth as Jesus to lead a perfect life and to PAY the
price for OUR imperfection! Why did God do this? Why did God send His son to die
in our place? Because He loves us so much He did EVERYTHING to restore the
relationship with imperfect people.
Jesus freely offers us this gift through faith in Him.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
6. All we need to do is accept Jesus’ free gift of salvation, accepting Him as
Lord of our life. “This righteousness from God comes through faith in
Jesus Christ to all who believe.” Romans 2:22
