At Christmas time, when the presents are under the tree, there is a gift there with your name on it waiting to be opened. It was bought for you by someone who loves you. But, even though it has
your name on it, it is not yours until you receive it and open it.
In the same way there is another FREE GIFT with your name on it waiting to be opened. This FREE GIFT is the gift of salvation which Jesus Christ bought for you because He loves you. He paid for
your sins by dying in your place because He knew that you couldn't pay for them. Now He offers you this FREE GIFT so you could spend eternity in heaven with Him.
To receive your FREE GIFT, thank Jesus for dying in your place and ask him to forgive your sins and to be your Lord and Savior. Then you can open your FREE GIFT and here's what you will find
inside.
1. Every sin you ever committed will be totally forgiven.
2. Jesus has prepared a place in heaven for you so that if you died (or rapture occurs) you will go to heaven to be with Him forever.
3. He will be your best friend, someone you can talk to about anything. And He will always help you and watch over you.
Jesus wants you to have this FREE GIFT! Jesus wants to be your best friend! Do you want to be His? If you do, then take a minute to tell Him so right now.
Jesus said "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
Jesus said that there is only one way to get to God, and that is through Him. There are teachings that say that there are many ways to get to God. Jesus said that is not true, there is only one
way and He is the only way. The reason for this is because He is the only one that died for our sins. No one else did.
And for us to spend eternity with God, our sins have to be forgiven. Hebrews 9:22 tells us that "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness". Jesus was the only one that fulfilled that
requirement. We deserved death, but because God loves us so much, He gave His Son who was the perfect sinless sacrifice to die for our sins so that we could be re-connected to Him.
Jesus said "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." (John 3:3 & 7)
What this means is that you were already born once by entering physical life. You now need to be born spiritually. This goes way back to Adam and Eve. God placed them in a beautiful
garden called the Garden of Eden. He said that they could eat from any tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or they would surely die. They disobeyed God and ate
from it.
That is when they died spiritually. Ever since then man has been dead spiritually, not having a relationship with God. Now Jesus made a way for us to be Born Again and to be re-connected to
God.
Jesus said "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
God made us a promise. If we accept his Son Jesus as our Savior, He will give us eternal life with Him in Heaven. That's a pretty good deal, who doesn't want to go to Heaven. All we have to do is
believe in Jesus. God loves us more than we can imagine that's why He went to such a great extent to make a way for us to be re-connected to Him. The word believe means to acknowledge, to trust
in, and to rely upon in the original Greek.
And that is what God wants us to do. Acknowledge that Jesus was the Son of God that died for our sins. Trust in Him. And once you see what an awesome friend He is, to rely on Him for everything.
We can't lose. And God always keeps his promises. So if we do our part, we can be sure that God will do his part.
I pray that you would choose to accept Jesus as your Savior. It's easy to do, just tell him Thank You for dying for your sins and ask him to come into your life and be your Lord and Savior.
Just find a quiet place and pour out your heart to him. He is a great listener and will be more than happy to be your friend forever. You will find that he is the best friend you will ever
have.
He has already chosen you, now He wants you to choose Him. He would love to have you spend eternity with Him in Heaven. I pray that you would choose to do so, even right now. Not only to make
sure you go to Heaven, but also to have the best friend you could ever have until then.
