In
the garden of Eden, sin entered into the heart
of man, Adam. From that day forth all people
born would be born under the condemnation of
sin, separation from a holy God.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for all have sinned" (Romans
5:12).
[SIN
means to do our own thing or to live our life
with no regard to God's laws, statutes, or
commandments.
"For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
(Romans 3:23). Anything
that we put before God is sin.]
Adam chose to eat of the fruit from the "tree of
life" which was complete disregard for God's
command to not eat of it. He chose to do it His
way, thus bringing "death by sin" unto all
mankind.
"For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
Adam
put self before God by submitting and catering
to his own desires and purposes.
God intended for man to live forever in
fellowship with Him, to never die, to live in
peace, love, and joy with Him, but sin brought
condemnation and death. Sin not only brought
spiritual death to all mankind, but sin also
separated us from God;
however, sin
did not stop God's love for us.
"But
God commendeth His love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"
(Romans 5:8).
Jesus came unto the world to save us from the
eternal damnation that sin brought unto man. Not
one of us can keep the commandments of God, thus
we have all sinned against a holy God. Jesus
came to be the sinless and pure Sacrifice to
satisfy God's wrath against sin.
"For God
sent not His Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through Him might be
saved."
John 3:17
Oh, what joyful news! A Savior has come to and
anyone who desires may come unto Him. Jesus is
waiting with arms opened wide. He died on the
cross for your sins. He arose again to give you
eternal life.
"Who
His own self bare our sins in His own body on
the tree..."
I Peter 2:24

... Repent and Believe ...
If
you in ignorance of the truths of God have lived
your life without Him, you no longer have an
excuse because now you have heard the truth
that all have sinned and need the Savior,
that God has sent Jesus unto to us, and that
Jesus died on the cross for our sins and God the
Father raised Him up on the third day.
God loves you very much and desires for you to
come to Him through Jesus, His Son.
"Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out..." (Acts 3:19).
God is calling you unto repentance - to turn
from your ways and to turn to Him through the
Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is God's
provision for us!
Repent and believe in Jesus as the Christ.
Take Him as your personal Savior - the
forgiveness for your sin.
Repentance is realizing that you have been
living your life apart from God, that you have
been living to satisfy your own desires.
Repenting means that you know
that you are a sinner and that
you need Jesus to
forgive you. Repenting means that you
are willing to turn away from self and trust
God.
Believe
that Jesus died for your sins and that He arose the
third day to give you eternal life. Believe that Jesus
will forgive you. Believe that He has the power and
authority to forgive you and make you a child of God.

"Come unto
Me, all ye that labour and are heavy-laden, and
I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and
learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart;
and ye shall find rest unto your souls" (Matthew
11:28)
The Savior invites YOU
to come and cast yourself upon His mercy and
receive His love and forgiveness:
"For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
will be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Jesus has not and will
never turn away anyone who comes to Him
with a repentant heart of faith:
"All that
the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him
that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out"
(John 6:37).

Casting yourself upon His mercy
-Repent of
unbelief by being willing to turn from
your sins.
-Believe that
Christ died for your sins and that God raised Him the
third day.
-Call upon the Lord Jesus to
save you..."For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be
saved" (Romans 10:13).
If you desire to come to
Jesus in repentance and faith, you can talk (pray) to Him right
now. Tell
Him that you know that you are a sinner and need His
forgiveness. In faith ask Jesus to forgive your sins,
to enter into your life, and be your Lord and Master. He
will forgive your sins and bring you into the family of
God as His very own child.
"That if
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).

If you ask Jesus to be your Savior and Lord,
please visit the link below (billy graham.org) and tell them that
you have received Christ as your Savior and they
will send you literature to help you begin your
walk in Jesus.
Also, you will need to find a Bible teaching
church where you can begin to grow spiritually
and be in fellowship with other Christians.
Read the Word of God each day and talk (pray)
with Him.
