Got Jesus?

Got Jesus? 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

God's love for you is greater than you can grasp. Because of His deep love, He willingly sent His only Son from heaven to walk on the earth, to be rejected by His countrymen, and to die on the cross—for you.

By His death, Jesus suffered the death penalty that all sinners deserve. The penalty is paid and your sins are completely forgiven, for today and always—if you admit your sin to Him and ask for His forgiveness.

In that moment, Jesus cleanses your sins and enters into your heart to be your Guide, your closest Friend, and your Confidant. He begins to transform your life and teach you how to walk with Him every day.

For those of us who believe, death is not the end of our lives. Yes, Jesus died on the cross but, after three days, God's power raised Him from the dead and restored Him to His place on the throne in heaven. Jesus's victory over death is the sure promise that we will join Him in heaven one day to live with Him for eternity.

God's forgiveness and the promise of eternal life are gifts from Him. You don't deserve them and you can't earn them. He offers them to you because of His love for you. To accept His gifts, you only need whisper a prayer like the one below:

Dear Jesus,

I believe You died on the cross for me and I ask You to forgive my sins. I believe You were raised from the dead and I ask for Your gift of eternal life. Come into my heart and transform my life.

Thank You for loving me.

With this prayer, you are now and forever a child of God. Welcome to the family!
