Because He Lives....!!!

Happy Resurrection Day!!!! I am so very thankful for the day that Jesus suffered and died for my sins and yours, BUT even more than that I am eternally grateful that He did not remain in the grave, but He rose again, just as He said He would! And because He lives, we can have hope in Him. We no longer have to be slaves to our sin, but we can become a forever child of God!! How about you? Do you have that hope in Jesus? Do you believe that He died FOR YOU!!?? He was buried and He rose again FOR YOU so that you might live eternally with Him in Heaven....How can you know for sure that when you die you will go to Heaven??

The first step to salvation is to realize that we are all sinners:

Romans 3:10 (KJV)

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23 (KJV)

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Next, you must know that because of sin there must be a price paid:

Romans 6:23 (KJV)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This price can be paid by you with an eternity in Hell, or you can accept the price that Jesus paid for your sin:

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

To accept Jesus’ payment for your sin simply call on His name and ask Him to forgive your sins and save you:

Romans 10:9-13 (KJV)

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. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. [11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. [12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

If you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, take time right now to pray, confessing your sin and asking Him to save you.

When you accept Jesus, He is faithful to do what He said He would - He forgives you and saves you.  This an eternal life that cannot be lost:

1 John 5:13 (KJV)

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Today, you can be sure of your eternal destiny!! Do not wait....you never know what will happen tomorrow. And as long as Jesus lives, you can have that hope in Him!!
