KNOW JESUS

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

In the beginning Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden and were tempted by the serpant. They ate from the Tree on Knowlege and did wrong against God. Doing wrong againt God is called Sin. As is says in Genesis 2:16, "God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die." All mankind is sinful against God, we all sin and do wrong in God's eyes. Because God is sinless and holy and pure, He cannot be in the presence of sin. This is what the Bible mean’s when it says, “All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God”. Can you see your predicament? You are Guilty of sinning against God Himself. Also, because you have a conscience, you have sinned, “With Knowledge”. Isn’t it true that every time you lied, stole, or used God’s name wrong you knew it was wrong? Does the fact that you have sinned against God Scare you? It Should. You have actually angered Him by your sin. The Bible says His wrath abides on you, that you are an “enemy of God in your mind through wicked works”. Perhaps you think God is Good and in His Goodness He will overlook your sins. No, God could never be a corrupt Judge. He is going to punish all the Liars, Adulterers, and Blasphemers. The place of eternal punishment is Hell. God Does not want you to perish. He is rich in mercy and compassion and has provided a way for you to be forgiven. He has invited you to come to Him for a full pardon and receive the free gift of Eternal Life. You cannot earn it, and you do not deserve it. God is offering it to you as proof of His Love for you. Imagine you are found guilty of a traffic ticket that you do not have the money for. Just as they are about to throw you in jail a stranger comes in and pays it for you in full and you are set free, the stranger sacrificed for you. This happened 2000 years ago exactly for you. The Bible says that God became man, Jesus Christ, and suffered and died on the cross for your sins and mine so that we could be set free. It’s simple as this, we broke the Law, and Jesus paid our fine. “God demonstrated His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us.” Galatians 3:13
Do you see God’s greatest love for you? Do you see your need for His forgiveness? Do what he commands and “Repent...that your sins may be wiped out and times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” (Acts 3:19) You must turn away from sin and turn to God. Desire to have nothing to do with sin, and surrender your life to the one who can save you. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 If you confess and ask forgiveness of your sins (repent) and trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. God will forgive you and you will pass from death to life eternal in heaven..
Today with all your heart, turn away from sin and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. You can Pray this prayer. “Dear God, today I turn from all my sins (name them), and I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me, and grant me your gift of everlasting life, Amen.”
