Why Jesus?


Here's a question that many ask: why Jesus? Many people believe that they will be good enough to get into Heaven, like passing a test or final exam. There are a lot of good people who will not be going to Heaven. There are not many ways to get to Heaven, only one. We are all sinners and full of selfish greed, even if we think we're keeping other's interests ahead of our own. We are born that way, we are born sinners and there is no way to change it. Look around, we live in a world full of crime, hate and immorality. God didn't do that, we did, man did.

So when you die, what will happen? You're at judgment and God asks you "Why should I let you in?". What are going to say, because I'm a good person. What are you basing it on? The 10 Commandments, God's Commandments? Then let me ask, have you ever stolen anything? Stolen something as simple as a pen from the bank (even unintentionally) or office supplies from work, like a post-it pad or maybe a pack of gum from your local convenience store or who knows, maybe something more substantial. So wouldn't that make you a thief? Theft is theft no matter how big or small, incidental or not. Have you ever told a white lie or a whopper of a lie? Again a lie is a lie no matter how big or small. So now you're an admitted lying thief. That's not good. Even if you stand there, in front of God, and give a list of all the things you've done that make you a 'good' person, you still did wrong. Remember God is a God of justice. He is righteous. There's no score card, no check sheet, no averages, no nothing, except one thing. It very simple and even easier.

When sin came into the world, it separated us from God. We needed a way to get back to God. Because of our born filled sin nature, there's nothing we can do on our own to get us back to God. God knew we needed a Savior, someone to take our punishment for our own personal sin. That's how much God loves you. He sent His one and only Son to die in your place, to take the punishment of your sin. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, He bore the sins of the world; past, present and future. He is the Savior of the world and He wants a personal relationship with you. All you have to do is accept Him and make him the Lord of your life. Once you accept Him, accept Jesus as the only way to God, nothing scaring is going happen but you will feel the love of God through His son... and you will have it forever. God's free gift to you can never be taken away.

Saying the words aren't enough, you have to believe it. Ask God to show you, He will. He's knocking at your heart right now. If you want to know more, please email us. If you're ready to bring Jesus Christ into your life, it starts with a simple prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the gift of Your Son. I'm sorry for my sins and I ask for your forgiveness. I accept what Your Son, Jesus, the Christ, did for me on Calvary because You love me that much! I ask that You make Jesus the Lord of my life and I surrender myself to Him. Jesus is my Savior and without Him, I'm nothing. He is the greatest gift of all and I thank you for Him. Please guide my steps and keep me close and lead me where you want me to go.

In Jesus' most holy and precious name I pray. Amen.

If you just prayed that prayer, Congratulations!! You are now a child of God and on your way to the most beautiful relationship ever! He'll be with you wherever you go. Please email us for your next steps, we would be honored to help you!!

God bless!!
