Here is a cross...
the sun shining towards you...
a shining hope of being with God for now and all eternity
Jesus has prepared a place for you in heaven
the cross is a promise from God!
As you walk on the beach, look over to the sun,
its rays on the water come to you - just you!
you are special!
God created you!
and, He created the universe!
amazing!
Call out to Jesus!
- He wants you to know Him.
This is salvation
it is incredibly and wonderfully simple...
The scripture says “Anyone who calls on the
Lord will be saved”
Romans 10:13 (NCV)
When we look for God, He requires
just this - Jesus Christ - for through
Jesus is the only path to God and the
only way to heaven.
Come to God in faith -
believing in His son, Jesus
“God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son
so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NCV)
You don’t have to do anything
just call out to God -
... That’s salvation
Scripture reassures us,
“No one who trusts God like this - heart and soul - will ever regret it.”
Romans 10:11 (The Message)
God’s love..
is unconditional...
You may feel that you do not deserve his love,
or that you are not good enough,
but that is not how God thinks,
for He loves and cares for you just the way you are now
As you accept His love,
you will experience an amazing relationship.
And, by the way,
His love never changes - it’s always there for you. Forever.
Jesus wants you to come to Him!
In your heart, decide to take this trip...
you may desire to talk to God about it, in your own words -
Or you could say this prayer to God:
Father in heaven
please touch my heart
Jesus, I call to you -
come into my life
forgive me for my sins
thank you for saving me
thank you, Holy Spirit
for the comfort and love
you bring me right now
thank you, Lord you are always with me
now and forever
Amen (so let it be)
Being a Christian...
Is about being free to live life the way God designed you to live.
He knows the best and right way for you
because He made you,
and gave you life.
It’s about being in a relationship
with the one true living God.
The Holy Spirit will help you and guide you
through the ‘ups and downs’of life.
You won’t be perfect - hey, you’re human,
You will make mistakes
however, God forgives.
There will be troubles,
but the Holy Spirit will give you strength
It’s not just about remembering and honouring the past,
it is, also, a manual for living life now, today,
and giving guidance,
as well as imparting hope for the future
A good place to start could be reading the Gospel of John, or of Luke.
And the book of Acts is exciting!
Enjoy the poetical beauty of Psalms -
say these words to God and you will draw closer to Him,
you will learn more of God’s love.
Read a chapter of Proverbs each day
this will guide you in relating to others,
and will give you wisdom
Belong to a Church...
there are many choices...
those relevant to today
and those that are traditional.
It will encourage you to meet with people who are
already on this journey -
it will be helpful to draw from their experiences
God,is a supernatural God!
His Son, Jesus, was nailed to a wooden cross,
but, Jesus defeated death,
because God raised Him from the grave
and seated Him on a throne in heaven!
And, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit,
who lives within us
and comforts, encourages and strengthens us
and helps us to pray
God is a powerful God!
“Are there any gods like you, Lord?
There are no gods like you.
You are wonderfully holy,
amazingly powerful,
a worker of miracles.”
Exodus 15:11 (NCV)
Because of the cross...
you have forgiveness for any wrong...
you can talk to God anytime - that’s prayer...
you can draw close to God...
you have more life to come...
you will go to heaven!
