God Loves
you and has designed a plan just for you! Jesus
died for you, and He wants you to have a life full of
purpose and meaning, as these verses explain:
- "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)
- "I [Christ] came that
they might have life, and might have it
abundantly" (John 10:10)

There's
only one problem: because mankind is sinful, we
are separated from God. What a sad thing for a
person to never know the love of our creator, and the
beautiful plan He has for our lives! 
- "The wages of sin is
death" (Romans 6:23)
- "All have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God" (Romans
3:23)

There
is hope; Jesus was sent by God to become the
sacrifice for our sin. He died, nailed to a
wooden cross, and rose to conquer death in 3 days. Thus
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became the one way back to
our Creator. 
"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)
"God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us" (Romans 5:8)

We
must receive Jesus as the Lord and Savior of our lives.
It is only then that we can experience God's plan and
love for each of us. You can be a child of God!
- "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)
- You cannot earn Salvation:
"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)
Come to Christ as you are, and
make Him the Lord of your life. You can do this in a
prayer, right where you are. If you mean these words, you
can pray something like this:
"Lord Jesus, I commit
my life to you. Thank you for dying for me, and right
now I ask you to live inside my heart. Please forgive
me of my sin, and take control of my life; make me
the person you want so that I can walk in your plan
for my life."
