God knows all about your situation

No matter what desire or burden brought you to this site, we believe the message below is the most significant word we could share with you. God knows all about your situation.  He loves you and He cares. Understanding this is the first step to find peace and face the challenges of life. The following 4 points explain God's love, our need for His help, and how we must act in faith to receive it.

 

1. God loves you and has a plan for your life!

 

The Bible says: "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" Gospel of John 3:16

 

Jesus said: "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).

 

But the problem is that:

 

2. Man is sinful and separated from God.

 

We all have done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls "Sins". The Bible says: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

 

And "The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23)

 

The good news is that 2000 years ago:

 

3. God sent his Son to die for your sins!

 

He Died in Our Place
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

 

He Rose From the Dead
"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..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).

 

He Is the Only Way to God
"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me"' (John 14:6).

 

4. Would you like to pray to receive the forgiveness of God?

 

Praying is simply talking to God. He knows you. What matters is the attitude of your heart, your honesty. We suggest you pray the following prayer:

 

"Lord Jesus Christ, I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life. I ask your forgiveness and now turn from everything which I know is wrong. Thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins. Please come into my life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and be with me forever. Thank you Lord Jesus, Amen."
