Have you ever wondered what it means to become
a Christian?
Maybe there are things in your life
that don't seem to be going very well, and you've tried lots
of solutions, but none seems to work. Everyone has questions
about their own lives. If you haven't found answers that work
for you, why not listen to what God has to say?
God's Word has the answers that are grounded in truth and love.
Jesus has answers to problems just like the ones you face every
day.
See what God's Word has to say about these questions and issues...
Are
you searching for a way to provide for a secure future? The way
of man stores up treasures, things like money, stocks & bonds,
retirement plans, and insurance policies, to provide for their security
during their golden years. God says that our security for the future
doesn't rest in earthly treasures.
"Do
not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy,
and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure
is, there you heart will be also." Matthew 6: 19-21
While these
earthly things can bring you financial security, they cannot provide
security for your heart and soul. God wants you to trust Jesus for
your security. This is what He has to say about a righteous man.
"His
heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in
triumph on his foes." Psalm 112:8
You
are made righteous through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus took your place in payment for your sin, you have
the blessed hope of a secure future.
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
Hebrews 6:19
Jesus loves you and He wants you
to have a secure future through a personal relationship with Him.

Do you sometimes feel like you're all alone in the world? Do you
wish there was someone who really cared about you? Someone you could
ALWAYS count on? -
NO MATTER WHAT!
God tells
you that good friends are very important…
"A
friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."
Proverbs 17:17
But
even close friends and family let us down sometimes. God says that
you have one friend that will NEVER let you down.
"A
man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who
sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24
You
don't need to be afraid when you're feeling alone, or things are
not going well for you. Jesus is there for you ALL the time.
"Be
strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of
them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you
nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6
Jesus wants to be your friend -- ALL the time -- EVERY time.

Is
there something missing in your life? Do you have what you need
for your physical comfort, but you still don't feel real joy in
your life? God says that your joy does not come from material possessions.
God provides you with all the things you need, even things that
money can't buy!
"We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these
worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and
sea and everything in them. He has shown kindness by giving you
rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with
plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy." Acts 14:15,17
True
joy, the kind of joy that people can't take away from you, comes
from an abiding personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Trusting
Jesus brings joy to your life.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of
the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Sometimes having
faith in something you can't see is difficult to imagine, but the
joy that will be present in your life as a result of placing your
faith in Jesus is evidence of the goal of your faith - the salvation
of your soul.
"Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though
you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an
inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of
your faith, the salvation of your souls." 1 Peter 1:8-9
Jesus
wants you to feel true joy in your life.

this great and lasting joy by entering into a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ through faith and acceptance of His
wonderful gift.
You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you,
and He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. There
is just one thing that separates you from God. That one thing is
sin.
People tend to divide themselves into groups
- good people and bad people. But God says that every person that
has ever lived is a sinner, and any sin separates us from
God. That includes you and me.
"For all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
According to man's rules, people should be punished or rewarded according
to how good they are, and it might be hard for you to understand how
Jesus could love you when other people don't seem to. But I have great
news for you! Jesus DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine!
And there's nothing you can do to make him stop!
Are you
thinking that you should make things right in your life before you
come to Jesus? Many people feel that way, but that's not what God
says!
"God demonstrates
His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us." Romans 5:8
For you to
come to God you have to get rid of your sin problem. But God says
that you can't make yourself right with God by being a better person.
God wants to save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He
saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because
of His mercy." Titus 3:5
It's
God's grace that allows you to come to Him - not your efforts to
"clean up your life" or work your way to Heaven. You can't
earn it. It's a free gift.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and
this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works,
so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to
come to God, your sin must be paid for. God's gift to you is His
son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.
"For the
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus
Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine by giving His life on Calvary's
cross. God brought Jesus back from the dead and paved the way for
you to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus.
All that's
left for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding out
for you right now.
"If you
confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe
in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and
it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans
10:9-10
God says that if you believe in His son, Jesus, you can live forever with Him in glory.
"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
Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal
life that Jesus is offering you right now? If it is your
sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your
personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart:
Here's a suggested prayer:
"Lord
Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal
life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to
purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life,
take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am
now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I
accept your free gift of eternal life."

trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want
