- You were created by God to live with Him forever, and that is His greatest desire.(Psalm 139:13)
- The Problem is that you and I and everybody else has ignored God, rejected Him and His authority over us. We have violated His Laws. God calls this "sin".(Romans 3:23)
- God is pure and cannot have fellowship with us because of our impurity. He is just and cannot ignore our rebellion, or let it go unpunished. Separated from God, we are all bound to spend eternity in a place of torment called Hell. That's not what God wants!(1 John 1:5-6, 2 Peter 3:9)
- God still loves us and so He has made a way for us to be forgiven and put into a right relationship with Him.(2 Corinthians 5:18-19)
- God sent His own Son into the world to become a human being so that he could suffer our punishment for disobeying God.. He lived a perfect sinless life so that when He was crucified he could offer a perfect sacrifice for our sins.(Hebrews 2:14-18)
- Jesus rose from the dead, showed himself to his followers and then ascended into heaven before their very eyes. Now he is seated at the right hand of the Father as Lord of all God's creation.(Acts 2:32-36)
- As sinners, we are guilty of his death, because it was our sins, our rebellion against God, which made it necessary for him to die.(Isaiah 53:6) But now we can be forgiven because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Now you can actually become a child of God because of what Jesus has done for you.(John 1:12-13)
- What you have to do is to acknowledge that Jesus is God's Son and paid your sin debt on the cross, confess your sins and ask him to forgive you. Jesus is alive and well and hears everything you say to him. He has promised that if you will trust him he will forgive you and make you a child of God. He will give you a whole new life.(Romans 10:9-10, 2 Corinthians 5:17)
- Your new life is real, and it lasts forever, because Jesus' own Spirit lives in you and He is eternal!(John 6:40)
- When your time here on Earth is over you will spend the rest of eternity with God in Heaven!(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
When you have become a child of God, there is so much to learn about how to live your new life. For this God has given You:
- The right to talk to Him any time about anything. We call this prayer, but it is just talking to God like you would Your best friend.
- A book called the Bible, which is His own written Word. As you read it, His Spirit will let you hear what God is saying to you personally. Get you a Bible and start reading in the book called "John".
- His own Spirit who lives in you to teach you, correct you, and help you to live your new life in a way that is pleasing to God.
- A fellowship of believers called the church which Jesus said was His own body on Earth until He visibly returns to earth. You need to find a church family that teaches the Bible and seeks to follow God’s will. There you will grow up as a child of God.
