FINDING THE ANSWERS TO LIFE'S MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
Where Did I Come
From?
God
created the world, and that includes you. At first
everything was good, exactly as God made it. But now we
all make wrong choices and commit wrong actions. We live
in God's world but go our own way. We fail to live up to
God's standards, and so we're guilty. The Bible calls
this "sin." Our sin separates us from
God.
"And this is the condemnation, that light
is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil." (John
3:19)
We all want
to feel good about ourselves, but we only experience
true meaning when we connect with our creator. People
try to find their way to God in many ways, but these
efforts all fail. Our sins are a barrier between God and
us.
Why Am I
Here?
God loves you very much and wants you to love Him in
return. You're here because of His love and desire to
have a personal relationship with you. What you can't do
through your own efforts, God the Son, Jesus, did by
coming to Earth to die on the cross for you. He took the
punishment for your sin, and so Jesus became the way
between God the Father and you.
And God proved that He accepted Jesus' death as the way
to life by raising Jesus from the dead. So Jesus Christ
is the only way for us to reach the Father.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
Where Am I
Going?
If you don't find your way to God through Jesus, you
will never know God personally and your life will have
no lasting value. When you die you'll be separated from
God forever. The Bible calls this Hell.
But if you accept Jesus as your Savior, you will have a
personal relationship with God and live with Him
forever. The Bible calls this Heaven.
How Do I Find My
Way To God?
What You Must Do...
Admit "I am a Sinner."
"For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans
3:23)
Acknowledge "There must be a
punishment for my sins."
"For the wages of
sin is death....And I saw a great white throne...And I
saw the dead, small and great, stand before God...and
death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged...This is the second death."
(Romans 6:23/Revelation
20:12-15)
Accept "Jesus paid for my
sins."
"But God
commendeth his live toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
Acquire "I will ask Jesus to
save me now!"
Dear Jesus, I
know that I am a sinner. If I died today I would go to
Hell. I know that you died for me on the cross and shed
you blood for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins and
save me from Hell. I'm trusting you now as my Lord and
Savior. Thank you for saving me!
Amen!
