It’s A GIFT

We serve a loving, gracious, generous God. He loves you so much that there isn’t anything He wouldn’t do in order to have a relationship with you. The bible tells us that sin separated us from God, but God doesn’t want to be separated from us. That’s why He sent His Son into the world – to pay the penalty for sin so that you and I could have a relationship with Him.

So many people today think they have to earn their way to heaven. They think they have to be “good enough” or “always do the right thing” in order to be accepted by God. They want to “clean up” before they come to Him. But the bible says, “You have been saved by grace because you believed. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God.”

Understand, though you may feel compelled to try and earn gifts from people, you can’t earn this gift from God. You don’t pay for His love; you can only receive it by faith. If you’ve never made Jesus the Lord of your life, I encourage you to receive this free gift.

All you need to do is sincerely say this simple prayer, “Father in heaven, I come to You today giving You all that I am. Thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus. I believe He died and rose for me, and I invite You to be Lord in every area of my life.”

Whether you’re already saved or you just now declared that prayer I urge you to choose today to let Him fill you with His eternal peace and joy so that you can start living the abundant life He’s carefully designed just for you.
