“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
Who am I that you would love me so much to send your son to die for me? The choice to be a blessed child of God is yours.
“So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
Opening ourselves up to the concept we are all created by God and in His image creates space in our hearts and minds for God to begin to interact with us directly. Considering this possibly allows us to begin seeing the true love and nature of God’s heart for us, as a loving, caring and merciful Father. So much of what our daily lives are filled with in this modern world leaves us feeling forgotten, unloved and uncared for. Opening up and asking God to show Himself to us, we are able to learn and know the truth.
“For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:8)
God sent His only son, Jesus Christ, to walk the earth and ultimately become the sacrifices for our sins, opening the door to everlasting life in Heaven with Christ and God the Father. There is no foundational requirement we need to meet to come to God and Christ. We only need to ask and listen. So, be encouraged to . . . .
Take Action
Read scripture for yourself. Start with the Gospels, the first 4 books of the Bible in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They provide wonderful accounts of the love of Jesus Christ and His time here on earth. For any who question the authenticity of these books, realize that most historians believe Christ did live during Biblical times. The answer that I hope you will come to know is Christ did live, was in fact the Son of God, was crucified on the cross in payment for our sins and was resurrected from the dead. Christ Lives! And He can live in you! As He lived, He wants us to live and share His love. . . . enter, the Holy Spirit.
