The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." KJV. Ever since the Garden of Eden, sin has been in our lives. We are born with it and we shall die with it. But there is one way to be set free from sin, and that way is by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. The gift from God, is explained in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." NIV. This gift is free to anyone who wants it. Although satan will tempt you everyday, Jesus has become our Great Intercessor or defender, our provider of strength and courage. 1John 2:1-2 says "My dear children I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense- Jesus Christ the Righteous one. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, but also for the sins of the world." NIV. Jesus Christ gave His life in place of ours. He died on the cross as the 1 perfect sacrifice for everyone. Jesus is at the door of your heart now knocking, wanting to come into your heart and your life. He longs to set you free from sin and to give you eternal life. He wants to show you how much He loves and cares for you, and how Great, merciful and loving the Father is. The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10 "That 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." NIV.
Won't you open your heart right now and invite Him into your life? And allow Him to show you His love, mercy and forgiveness? It's as easy as one simple prayer.
