Q: What then can I do to be
saved? Must I resign myself to remaining forever
separated from God?
A: God is so great, so
high, so almighty, so beyond our limited human
understanding and comprehension, that it is impossible
for us to fully understand or grasp Him or His ways. He
says, "As the Heavens are high above the Earth, so
high are My ways above your ways, and My thoughts than
your thoughts!"--Isaiah 55:9. But He so much wanted
to help us and to become our close Friend that He sent
Somebody Who could show us His Love, Somebody Who could
live with us as a man, Who could embody and show us what
God Himself is like.
God loves us so much, He
doesn't want us to have to suffer separation from Him.
When we're without God's Love, our hearts can never be
truly satisfied, and we will remain spiritually empty
and lifeless. So to bring us His Everlasting Life and
Salvation, He sent His Own Son, Jesus, to Earth almost
2,000 years ago.
Jesus was miraculously
conceived by the Spirit of God and born to a young
virgin girl named Mary. He grew up to become, in a
sense, a picture of His Father, so we could see what the
great invisible Creator is like.--And that picture is a
picture of love, for all Jesus did was go about
everywhere doing good, helping others and teaching about
God's great Love for us all.
Finally, Jesus completed His
task of proclaiming the Good News of Salvation to the
World, and He gave His life, and was cruelly crucified
by His cruel and self-righteous religious enemies. Then
three days after His lifeless body was laid to rest in
the grave, Jesus arose from the dead, conquering death
and Hell forever!
The Bible tells us, "God
so loved the World (you and me) that He gave His only
begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believes in Him,
should not perish but have Everlasting Life."--John
3:16. All you have to do now to come into a full and
living personal relationship with the God of Love is to
simply believe on Jesus and accept His free gift of
Eternal Life!
Jesus said, "Greater love
has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends."--John 15:13. He was the Friend who
laid down His life for you, so that you would not have
to suffer being separated from the God of Love Who loves
you so!
If you would like to personally
know God's great Love, find the Solution to all of your
troubles and problems, and be forgiven for all the
wrongs that you have ever done, all you have to do is
believe on and receive His Son, Jesus, into your heart.
Jesus said, "Come unto Me, all you who labour and
are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. ... For
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life! No man comes unto
the Father but by Me!"--Matthew 11:28; John 14:6
Although it may sound so simple
or even childlike to you, this is the Plan by which the
great Creator of the Universe has chosen to reveal and
bring His Love, Truth and Salvation to you and me! He
made it so simple that anybody can receive His Love.--A
young child or an elderly grandparent, a poor peasant or
a rich tycoon, an illiterate tribesman or an
intellectual scientist, an Easterner, Westerner,
Northerner or Southerner!--Anybody!--Including you!
In fact, receiving Jesus is so
simple that He said, "Unless you humble yourself
and become as a little child, you shall not enter into
the Kingdom of Heaven!"--Mark 10:15. Will you
humble yourself and receive God's Love, joy, peace of
mind, contentment of heart and Eternal Life through
Jesus as a free Gift to you, His child?
Jesus loves you and will give
you this wonderful gift right now if you will simply and
sincerely pray this little prayer and ask Him to
personally come into your heart:
"Dear Jesus, I know that I
need help and that I can't save myself. I have heard
that You are the Son of God, and that through You I can
personally find and know the God of Love. Jesus, I need
Your Love to cleanse me from all fear and hate. I need
Your Light to drive away all darkness. And I need Your
Peace to fill and satisfy my heart. So I now open the
door of my heart and I ask You, Jesus, to please come in
and give me Your free gift of Eternal Life! Thank You,
Jesus, for suffering for all of the wrong I have done
and for forgiving me and hearing my prayer! In Jesus'
name, amen."
Now that you have asked Jesus
to come into your heart, a wonderful new life has begun
for you! The Bible says, "If anyone be in Christ,
He is a new creation. Old things are passed away,
behold, all things are become new!"--2Corinthians
5:17.
