Jesus
Christ Our LORD
Who is Jesus of Nazareth
to you?
Your life on this earth and for all of eternity is affected by your
answer to this question. Find out how you can get to know Jesus
Christ personally and discover what provisions he has made for you
to live with him forever.
Who
is JESUS CHRIST?
JESUS CHRIST is the son of GOD. HE came to earth to
fullfill HIS Father's will and that will was to save all men and
women from their sin's judgement which is death. The Bible says
that the wages of sin is death. JESUS came and died and spilled
HIS blood so we would not have to?
Can you be saved? Yes times yes a million times. Many people say
I have sinned too much to ever be forgiven. Ephesians 1:7 says that
we are saved according to the riches of HIS grace. HE is rich in
grace, and in mercy and no matter what you have ever done or will
do, GOD can and will forgive. HE wants to forgive more than you
want forgiveness. HE has given everything in heaven so that you
will come to HIM. What are you waiting for? There is only one sin
that cannot be forgiven, blaspheming against the HOLY GHOST. That
is standing in the face of JESUS, who bled and died for you, and
saying, "No, I will not accept you as my Saviour". That will lead
you straight to hell. But only believing and recieving CHRIST can
make you live forever. John 3:16 says "for GOD so loved the world
that HE gave HIS only begotten Son that whosoever would believe
in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life". That living
forever can be you.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW JESUS
PERSONALLY?
You can! Because of God's deep love for you, he has already made
all the necessary arrangements. Through the death and resurrection
of Jesus Christ, you can enjoy a personal relationship. Jesus made
it possible to bridge the chasm which separates us from God. The
following principles will help you discover how to know Jesus personally
and experience the abundant life he promised.
God LOVES you and created you to know Him personally
John 3:16 "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 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." What prevents
us from knowing God personally?
Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God, so we cannot know Him personally
or experience His love Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death"
[spiritual separation from God]. Romans 8:6-8 "The mind of sinful
man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and
peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to
God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature
cannot please God." A great gulf separates man from God. Man is
continually trying to reach God and establish a personal relationship
with Him through human efforts, such as living a good life, philosophy,
or religion. But he inevitably fails. The next principle explains
the only way to bridge this gulf...
Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through him
alone we can know God personally and experience God's love Romans
5:8 "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us." 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 "Christ died
for our sins... he was buried... he was raised on the third day
according to the scriptures... he appeared to Peter, then to the
twelve. After that he appeared to more than five hundred..." John
14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.'" God has bridged
the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ,
to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
But it is not enough just to know these truths...
We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; then
we can know God personally and experience His love
John 1:12 "As many as received him, to them he gave the right to
become children of God, even to those who believe in his name."
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace that you have been saved, through
faith. This does not depend on anything you have achieved, it is
the free gift of God; and because it is not earned no one can boast
about it." Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (a
spirit of repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives
to forgive us of our sins and make us what he wants us to be. Just
to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and
that he died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it
enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ
by faith, as an act of our will. Jesus Christ is waiting for an
invitation to come in to your life. In fact, he says, "Behold, I
stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens
the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20). Perhaps you can sense
Christ knocking at the door of your heart. You can invite him in
by faith right now. God knows your heart so it doesn't matter exactly
what words you use.
This simple prayer is just to help you, but pray from your heart
with faith in knowing HE is able to forgive you.
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on
the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to you and ask
you to come in as my Savior and Lord. Take control of my life. LORD
JESUS I am a sinner, I admit it. I trust you now to forgive me.
Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make
me the kind of person you want me to be. I believe and now I know
that I am your child. I love you JESUS. Amen!
If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, pray it right
now and Jesus Christ will come into your life just as he has promised.
Once you invite Christ into your life, he promises to never leave
you. Hebrews 13:5 "God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never
will I forsake you.'" To know God personally is the greatest decision
you will ever make.

We would love to hear from you.
Trust in HIM now. Today is the day of salvation. There
may not be a tomorrow........
In the book of Isaiah, Chapter 53 tells the story
of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.The amazing
thing about this is that the book was written approx. 700 years
BEFORE Jesus walked the dusty streets of Jerusalem.
Jesus Himself, also repeatedly predicted His own death.
He said,:
Where it would happen.
Who would be instrumental in putting Him to death.
The kind of death He would suffer.
That He would rise again (Matt.16:21).
Isaiah foretold of the death of Jesus seven centuries
earlier and of the type of death He would have to endure for the
sins of mankind.
His death by crucifixion was no ordinary death and
was preceded by agonising torture. When the Romans crucified Our
Lord they used all their skills and experience in torture. When
they flogged the back of Jesus, the whip ends had metal balls that
ripped the skin off His back. By the time they finished there was
barely any flesh to be seen.
The attempt to humiliate Jesus with the crown of thorns
had an even more deadly significance. In attempts to break the spirit
of Christ, the cruel torturers dipped the points of the thorns into
poison so as to inject this into His bloodstream, a practice which
would drive an ordinary man insane.
Confirmation of their failure to carry out their intentions
emerged when he appeared before Pontius Pilate. Pilate was convicted
of the sin in his own heart when in the presence of the Holiness
of Christ, he said, "Do you not realise that I have the power to
put you to death? (John 19:10)Jesus answered, "You would have no
power over me unless it was given on high". (John 19:11).
Christ's crucifixion, by the Blood which was shed
on Calvary was a victory for all of mankind.
"Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin
of the world" John 1:29 KJV
"For this is My blood of
the new testament, which is shed for many for the of remission of
sins". Matthew 26:28 KJV
Jesus said unto him,” I am
the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me”. John 14:6
Ye have heard how I said
unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you love me, ye
would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father
is greater than I. John 14:28 KJV
Jesus died to show how much God loves us.
(Romans 5:8); to be our mediator,
(1 Timothy 2:5-6); to deal with our sins, (1 Peter 2:24)
(2 Corinthians 5:21), to reconcile us to God (2 Corinthians 5:19).
