Ex-Pagan 4 Christ

As my testimony shows, you can be saved no matter what you have done. Christ will accept you and raise you up if you only believe in Him. No sin is too great, no life too awful for Jesus. He will make you into a new person, cleanse you from sin and give you eternal life - its all yours for the asking, a free gift.

So who was Jesus? The Bible tells us just how amazing Jesus is. He is God, creator of everything (John 1:1-2) but He became a man (John 1:14), He voluntarily chose to leave heaven and come to earth. Can you imagine God suddenly forced to put up with being tired, with hunger, with thirst? Jesus chose to do that for a very special reason.

You see, God is holy. He doesn't sin, and He won't accept sin in others. He is just, and punishes sin as it deserves. And as the Bible tells us, we have all sinned (Romans 3:23). Sin ranges from things like not worshipping God, to lying, stealing or dishonouring your parents. Everyone on earth has transgressed God's law at some point or other, and unforgiven sin leads to only one place - Hell.

God does not want anyone to end up there (2 Peter 3:9) and He loves us. It is precisely because He loves us that Jesus came. Jesus gave a solution to the sin problem that had been separating God and man for so long. Jesus came to earth, taught about how to live and act in the new church, and died. The religious leaders didn't like His teachings and decided to put Him to death even though He had done nothing wrong. Jesus was subjected to an appallingly painful death on a cross - and even then managed to pray for those who murdered Him. That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn't. Three days later Jesus rose from the dead. He had conquered death on our behalf! Now no one needs to die any more. Jesus said that just by believing in Him we could have eternal life - right now! He died on the cross bearing all of our sins, and anulled them in Himself. Jesus willingly bore the penalty for your sin and my sin so that we could live. That is true love.

Jesus made it incredibly easy for us to be forgiven and receive eternal life - we only need believe. There is nothing we can do and no way we can buy redemption - it is a matter only of faith. God will do the rest by grace.

The Bible is very clear about this - we won't be eternally punished by bad karma until we work our way to the top but we can get rid of all that right now. There is no use putting it off until your next life - because the Bible teaches there is no next life - And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27)

God loves you and wants you to live - won't you accept His free gift today?
