There is Hope for the World

Evidence for your Consideration Jesus
as an historical figure |
|
For
if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one
man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision
of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through
the one man, Jesus Christ. John 3:16. For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son, so that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life. For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord. |
Is There Any Hope For The World?
God Still Cares for the World
God still loves us in spite of our sin. He has made a way to save us from sin, Satan, and eternal death. God still rules the universe and will bring the earth back into obedience again.
The Son of God Took Our Punishment
Every person on earth has sinned and has been sentenced to die. We had no way to save ourselves. God loved us so much that He sent His own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to take our punishment.
Nearly 2,000 years ago Jesus came to earth and was supernaturally born of a virgin in the land of Palestine. He taught men the truth about God and His love. He did nothing wrong in His whole life, but He died like a criminal, nailed to a cross. He died in our place for our sins. God showed the world that Jesus was His Son by bringing Him back to life after three days. Forty days later Jesus went back bodily to heaven. Friends of Jesus who saw Him after His resurrection and watched Him go up to heaven have told us about it in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.)
Accepting Jesus Makes Us God's Children
Since Jesus has taken our punishment, those who accept Him as their Savior are freed from the power of Satan. When we turn away from our sins, God makes us His children and gives us His life. God urges us to believe in His Son and be saved from sin, but He will not force us to do it.
Becoming a Child of God
We have learned that the world was formed by Someone and that someone is God.
God made a perfect world, but sin entered the world and tarnished it. Sin is the reason for the pain and suffering existing in the world today.
God gives each of us a choice. We can choose to follow Him and to become His children or we can choose to reject Him and continue in our sin. God loves us very much and has provided a way for us to be free from sin through his son, Jesus Christ.
Today is a big day for you. It is a day of decision. Would you like to accept Jesus Christ as the Ruler of your life today? You can invite Him into your heart right now, right where you are. Just say this simple prayer:
God, thank you for loving me and for sending your Son to die for me and my sins. Please come into my life and be my Savior, Ruler, and Friend. Reveal yourself to me and help me to become the person you want me to be.
Now that you have made that first step, would you contact us today so we can provide you with information to assist you in this new decision?
