Here are Four FACTS you need to know personally
In reality, a fact is something that has really occurred or is truly the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is authenticity, that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.
I need you to know four facts that I have discovered and have made sense to a lot of people.
Fact 1
God Loves YOU!
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”
But the problem is that…
Fact 2
All of us have done, said or thought things that are WRONG. This is called SIN, and our sins have SEPARATED us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from Him forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.” Death here means spiritual separation from God!
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago…
Fact 3
God sent His ONLY SON, Jesus Christ, to die for OUR SINS.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life, (the perfect Man) and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by Me.”
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name.” You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Saviour.
It is not enough to know these three facts…
Fact 4
We MUST each receive Jesus as SAVIOUR and LORD in order to experience His LOVE and FORGIVENESS for our sins.
You would want to ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR and turn from your sins; you can ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour by praying a prayer like this:
Lord Jesus, I admit that I have been running my own life and have sinned against you. Come into my life and forgive my sins, take control of my life and make me a new person. Thank you for answering my prayer. Amen!
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If so, pray right now, the Lord will come into your heart just as He has promised in Revelations 3:20. Remember it is not the amount of words that will save you but the sincerity of your heart in believing in Jesus Christ.
