God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our life but we have all sinned. Sin separates man from God and results in an emptiness as well as an uncertainty about where we will go when we die. God's word tells us:
"--all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"--the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23
We are all guilty before God and there is no good deed that can satisfy the penalty for sin. If we die in this condition we will be separated from God for all eternity in a place that the Bible call's Hell. Jesus warned of this place and spoke of it more than He did about heaven. This is not the will of God for us. God loves us even though we have sinned and has provided the way for us to be forgiven, to have a personal relationship with Him, and have a home in heaven. God's righteous judgment could only be satisfied one way.
God sent his only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to bear the penalty for our sin and to die in our place. He himself, being God, took upon flesh as a man. He was born of a virgin. He, being without sin, bore our sins in his own body on the cross so that you and I could be saved. He died in our place to satisfy God's judgement against sinners like you and me. On the third day he raised from the dead, ascended to heaven, and is coming again. He now offers us His forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ. God loves us that much!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God,--" 1 Peter: 3:18
Jesus said,"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10
God has only provided one way to be saved:
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
To receive this abundant and eternal life you must be willing to turn from your sin (Repent) and receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, trusting in him alone as God's one and only provision for your salvation. When you receive him by faith you will receive his life within you in the person of the Holy Spirit. This is called being born again and results in a wonderful new life with meaning and purpose. You will know His joy, peace, and have the assurance of sins forgiven and eternal life.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." John 1:12
"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. " Acts 10:43
Let me encourage you to pray now and receive this wonderful gift of eternal life:
There is no particular prayer that is necessary to pray in order to receive Christ. God knows our heart. The Bible says "..whoseover shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Acts 2:21
This is a prayer to help you talk to God:
"God I know that I have sinned and I am lost without you. I do believe that you love me and that your Son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins on the cross and has risen from the dead. I turn from my sin and do receive you Lord Jesus as my personal Savior and Lord of my life. Forgive me, come into my heart and save me. Take control of my life for I give my life to you. Thank you for hearing my prayer and for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me the wonderful gift of eternal life. In Jesus name, Amen"
If you have placed your faith into Jesus Christ today, we would like to know so that we can rejoice with you. We would also like to send you some materials that will help you in your new life in Christ.
It is a great adventure to be face to face with some of God's most majestic animals and to watch their interaction. However, the greatest adventure in life for me began the moment, as a nine year old boy, that I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I was forgiven, free from the penalty and bondage of sin, received a personal relationship with God, and knew I was going to heaven when I died. It is my greatest joy in life to be able to share LIfe's Greatest Adventure with you. If you do not know where you will go when you die, please take time to read this simple presentation so you can know for sure that you have a home in heaven.
