There is a God, He loves you, and you can know Him personally. This means that there’s something more to life than the daily grind. It means that pain, disappointment, and suffering are not the end-all-be-all of your life. It means that Somebody loves you without asking anything in return—no matter how messed up your life is, no matter what you’ve done. So, how do you connect with Him? ADMIT. Admit to God that you are a sinner. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” BELIEVE. Believe that God loves you, despite your mistakes. He sent His son Jesus to die and be raised from the dead so that you can be perfect in God’s eyes. CONFESS. Confess your faith in Jesus to others. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9 that “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.” Everyone makes mistakes and, because of those mistakes, it is impossible to know God on our own. That’s why He sent Jesus! If you admit your mistakes and believe that God loved you so much that He sacrificed His Son Jesus, you can enter into a relationship with Him. That means that your mistakes are washed away and you’re invited to live a new, transformed life! If you agree, pray this prayer: “Dear Father,I come to you in the name of Jesus. I confess before you that I am a sinner and am in need of Jesus. I make a choice right now to turn away from my sin and put my trust in you. You also said, That if I CONFESS with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and BELIEVE in my heart that God has raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, I shall be SAVED. Therefore, according to Your Word I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that He (Jesus) died and was raised from the dead for me, and I confess Him now as my Lord and Savior. I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ and I thank You for saving me in Jesus’ name. AMEN.”We all fall short of God’s expectations. We are all born “sinful." Sin can be summed up as all the things we say, think, do, and don’t do, that fall outside of God’s holy will for our lives. Sin caused us our separation from God.
Sin was brought into the world by by man when he was lured and tempted by Satan. Through Adam and Eve own free will and weakness they disobeyed God: breaking the perfect relationship between God and us. From that point on, sin became part of our very existence. Because God also demands perfect obedience, our ultimate punishment became death.
Yet God is a loving God whose will is not for us to live in eternal punishment. That’s why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live the perfect life . When we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, He bears our sin and gives us His forgiveness.
