Who is Jesus? |
A better question maybe, 'Who is Jesus to me?" but that
is not the question. Jesus was the son of God who, about 2000
year ago, took on the form and limitations of a human body and
walked the earth. He died by crucifixion, was buried, and then
brought back from the dead by God to rein in heaven for the rest
of time. But again, who is Jesus to you? |
What is Sin? |
Sin is any act, thought, belief, or word that creates a separation
between you and God.
"All have sinned and come fall short of the glory of God" Romans
3:23 |
What
is "Saved?" |
'Saved' is the word Christians use to indicated someone who
has accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. The literal meaning
is, "one who will not go to hell when they die because of
their acceptance of Jesus, they have been 'saved' from this eventuality." |
Where am I going
when I die? |
That's a good question. You really only have 2 choices, and
yes, it is a choice. The two places are heaven and hell. Heaven
being a place of eternal bliss and fellowship with God while
hell is a place of eternal pain and suffering. It doesn't seem
like a difficult choice but some people don't believe that they
get to choose where they go when they die. Many people believe
that doing 'good' while they are alive or by not doing 'bad'
they will get permission to go to heaven. Unfortunately, this
is not true. The only way to be admitted into heaven is
to have accepted Jesus as your
personal savior while you are still here on earth. After you
die it, will be too late.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 |
Why are we here? |
Now this is a complicated question. It's been said that religion
answers a few fundamental questions about life and this is one
of them. But this question may have a very simple answer. We
are here to have a personal relationship with God. |
How do I ask
for forgiveness? |
It's important to note that nothing has
to change to ask for forgiveness. You don't have to stop doing
something or start
doing anything else. Forgiveness is a free gift that you merely
have to ask
Jesus for. If you believe that Jesus was sent to earth to
pay for your sins by dieing on a cross and then being raised
by God, then pray to Jesus a prayer like this:
"Jesus, I am a sinner. But I turn
from my sin. I accept your forgiveness made possible through
Jesus Christ by his death and resurrection. I place my faith
and trust in Jesus Christ alone. I receive him as my Savior and
Lord. I want to follow and serve you. Let today be the beginning
of my new journey as your child and a member of your family."
Here are the points that the prayer
is making:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the
grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life
through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.) |
