GOD LOVES YOU

God created you and loves you more than you can imagine. He knows everything about you—your hopes, your fears, your dreams. He cares deeply about you and wants a relationship with you.

“For 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).

“I have loved you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).

WE HAVE A PROBLEM

Despite God’s love, there’s something that separates us from Him. The Bible calls this “sin”—the wrong things we do, say, and think that break God’s perfect standard.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

Sin isn’t just about bad behavior—it’s about our hearts being turned away from God. And this separation from God is something we cannot fix on our own.

GOD’S SOLUTION

The amazing news is that God didn’t leave us in this broken state. He sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to bridge the gap between us and God.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Jesus lived the perfect life we couldn’t live. He died on the cross, taking the punishment our sins deserved. Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving His power over sin and death!

“Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, … he was buried, … he was raised on the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

THE WAY HOME

This gift of forgiveness and eternal life isn’t something we can earn through good deeds or religious activities. It’s a free gift we receive through faith.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

YOUR RESPONSE

God invites you to:

1. Recognize that you’ve sinned and need God’s forgiveness. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
2. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again to give you new life. “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” (Romans 10:9).
3. Receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord, inviting Him to guide your life. “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

WILL YOU RECEIVE GOD’S GIFT?

You can talk to God right now through a simple prayer. The words aren’t magical—what matters is the sincerity of your heart:

“Dear God, I know I’ve sinned and that my sin separates me from you. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins and rose again to give me new life. I turn away from my sins now. Please forgive me. I invite Jesus to be my Savior and the Lord of my life. Thank you for your amazing love and for the gift of eternal life. Help me to live for you from this day forward. Amen.”

If you prayed this prayer sincerely, the Bible says you have been born again into God’s family!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

‘’And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
