God made everything. The earth, sun, moon, plants, animals and people.
(Genesis 1)
God made a man from dust and a woman from the man. (Genesis 1:26-2:25)
God put the man (Adam) and the woman (Eve) in a perfect garden. They had
everything they needed. They never got sick and they did not have to work.
God created humans to love him. It is impossible to love God unless you
have the choice to obey Him or not. God gave them a choice. They could eat
any tree except one.
Adam and Eve decided to disobey God and as punishment for their sin;
(disobeying God) death, pain, and hard work entered the world. (Genesis 3)
In fact, it wasn't only Adam and Eve that sinned (disobeyed God) but also you
and I have sinned as well.
Romans 3:23 "Everyone has sinned and is far away from
God's saving presence."
As a result of our sin we will die and without Jesus we will go to hell (a place
of punishment that lasts forever).
Romans 6:23 "For sin pays its wage-death; but God's free gift is eternal
life with Jesus Christ our Lord."
God gave us a way for us to have eternal life-Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the ONLY way to go to heaven and have eternal life (live forever
with God).
Jesus died in your place.
Romans 5:8-11 "But God has shown us how much he loves us-it was
while we were still sinners that Christ died for us! His blood now puts us
right with God; how much more, then, will he save us from God's anger!
We were God's enemies but he made us his friends how much more will
we be saved by Christ's life!
Jesus came back to life.
I Corinthians 15:3-6 "...Christ died for our sins, as is written in the
Scriptures (Bible); that he was buried and that he was raised to life
three days later. . .he appeared to Peter and then all twelve apostles.
Then he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at once,
most of whom are still alive, although some have died."
Jesus is the ONLY way to God. This means that you must follow ONLY Jesus.
You cannot follow any other religion and Jesus at the same time.
John 14:6 Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no
one goes to the Father except through me."
You don't have to DO (not good works) anything. You only need to BELIEVE
(have faith) that Jesus paid for your sins.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast.
John 3:16
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that
everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.
Pray and ask Jesus to forgive you and to be your God.
Dear Jesus, You are God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins and
coming back to life to pay for my sins. Please forgive me for my sins. I want
to follow you for the rest of my life. Amen.
You are now a new creature! Welcome to God’s family!
As you begin your new life in Christ, remember to pray, read your Bible, and
meet with Christians in a Bible-believing church.
