You would be surprised if you knew how many blessings God wants to give you. And all of these gifts are found in the gift of God – His own dear Son. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting lift.” (John 3:16).
God gave His Son. Isaiah prophesied 600 years before Christ came, “A Son is given,” (Isaiah 9:6). Paul, speaking of God’s Son wrote, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift.” (2 Corinthians 9:15).
You want peace with God? You long for hope? You seek forgiveness? God wants to give you all of these! You yearn for hope? You want to know for sure that you are saved and that you have eternal life? God wants to give you eternal life!
YOUR NEED
A police officer said, “Oh, that I had a telegram from heaven telling me that my sins were forgiven.” Perhaps you are like that officer. You know you are a sinner because the Bible says, “All have sinned,” (Romans 3:23). Then you must know that you are under the penalty of death, “For the wages of sin is death,” (Romans 6:23). But!! “God commendeth (demonstrated) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” (Romans 5:8).
The Lord Jesus proved His love for you when He gave His blood, His life, on the cruel cross to pay the wages of sin. He rose again. Now He is seated at “the right hand of the Majesty on high,” (Hebrews 1:3). God offers His Risen Son to you as His GIFT. Receive His Gift! You will not only have Him, but you will have all that God offers you in Him. All of God’s gifts are found in the Gift of His Son.
FORGIVENESS: “In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,” (Ephesians 1:7)
PEACE: “He is our peace,” (Ephesians 2:14). When you receive Him, you will have peace.
ETERNAL LIFE: “This is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son,” (1 John 5:11-12). “He that hath the Son hath life.”
You cannot work for salvation. You will never deserve forgiveness. You cannot merit peace. But God will give you all these blessings in His Son. Your part is to take God’s Gift His Son, as your Lord and Savior. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power (the right) to become the sons of God,” (John 1:12).
What a tragedy to refuse God’s Gift!
You may receive Christ this moment by praying this prayer right now:
“Dear Jesus, forgive me of all my sins and save my soul. I repent of all my sins and ask you to come into my heart. I believe you are my Lord and that you were raised from the dead. I ask that you lead me, protect me, and guide me all the days of my life. Thank you for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
If you have invited Jesus Christ into your life, the Bible says you now have eternal life. You should now live for Him and allow Him to change your life.
“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12
This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should:
