Do You Know Christ?

There is a Love Letter,

written for you

by the God of the universe,
Hebrews 11:3
who sent His very own Son, His beloved Son,

To die the most excruciating death known to man

that you might live forever with Him – with God in paradise – in Heaven.

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
- John 3:16

Out of His great and incomprehensible LOVE FOR YOU, God is calling you to know Him. Don’t miss it! He does not want you to miss it. He wants you to know the truth of His love for YOU – no matter what you’ve done – no matter what has happened to you – no matter what has gone before.

God is Our Father.  And God loves you as a child because He chooses to do so.  God wasn’t attracted to you and didn’t choose you because you were big and important…He did it out of sheer love” (Deuteronomy 7:7-8).  God’s love for you depends on His goodness, not yours.  You don’t need to win His love, you already have it.

He loves you so much He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.  When Jesus lived on earth He never did one thing wrong meaning He never sinned.  Not once. But we have done or do things wrong. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) We stretch the truth.  We hurt people.  We are unkind to others.  What should God do? For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) God has made His position clear: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12).

SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU AND ME?

It leaves us depending on the John 3:16 promise.  “God…gave His one and only Son…”  Though sinless, Jesus took our sin.  God placed our sin on His Son and punished it.  When Jesus died on the cross, He died for you in your place. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

JESUS’ ACT REQUIRES A RESPONSE.

We can’t trust in our own efforts to save us – we can’t save ourselves.  We can’t place our trust in other people – they can’t save us.  So we trust Jesus to do what we can’t.  We’re always trusting in some power to do work for us we can’t accomplish.  We believe the chair will support us – so we sit.  We believe the light will come on when we flip the switch – so we flip.  We trust the doorknob will open the door – so we turn.  Jesus invites you to do the same: to trust in Him as Savior, saving and forgiving you from sin for eternal life with Him.

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
- John 3:16

KNOW CHRIST DEDICATION PLEDGE

If you sincerely desire to respond to Jesus, right now, right here. If you want to take the gift God offers you in His Son, Jesus who died for your sins that you can be forgiven and have the promise of life with Him forever – then you can very simply talk to Him and ask Jesus to be your Savior:

“Father, please, forgive me for the things I have done wrong.  I believe You love me.  You gave Your one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to save me from my sins so I can live forever with You.  Apart from You, I die.  With You, I live.  I choose life.  I choose You.  I accept Jesus, Your Son, as my Savior.” Amen

    I made a decision to believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior.
