Here is the GOOD NEWS!
GOD LOVES YOU...
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, That whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (you & me).
Romans 5:8
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1John 4:10
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE SINNED...
There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:10
All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:6
BUT YOU CAN BE SAVED
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
1Timothy 1:15
God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:17
Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
Jesus died for our sins (offences) and was raised again for our justification.
Romans 4:25
TODAY...
Seek you the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.
Isaiah 55:6
Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2Corinthians 6:2
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Proverbs 27:1
.....................................................SO IT COMES DOWN TO THIS...
Lets say that you murdered someone and was standing before the judge, he says I find you guilty. He then stands up, takes off his robe, comes around to you, puts his hand on your shoulder, and says, "I'll do your punishment for you". You are set free, and He pays the punishment.
That is exactly what Jesus did for you and me when he died on the cross. We are born sinners, we are guilty of sin, but God sent his son...Jesus...to take our sins, to pay our punishment, and to set you and me free.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY?
1. Know you are a sinner
2. Know you need a Savior
3. Know that Jesus died for you
4. Ask for forgiveness for all your sins
5. Ask Jesus into your heart
6. Make Him the center of your life
Pray this prayer and ask Him into your heart
PRAYER
Lord, I know I am a sinner, that I have not lived my life for you, I come to you now and ask for forgiveness for my sins, how I have sinned against you, and how I have wronged others. I know that you died on the cross for my sins, that you took my punishment and you want to set me free. I ask you now to please come into my heart and live. That I would begin to seek you with all of my heart and turn my life around. Thank you for what you have done for me, that I can be assured that because of your death on the cross, I will go to heaven when I die.
...................................................
If you prayed this prayer and want to really know God, I promise He will show up. Doesn't mean you won't have problems in this world, but the Lord has promised He will walk with us through those problems. He is faithful to do all that He has promised. And there are so many promises in the Bible. If you don't have a Bible, I would encourage you to get one as soon as possible. When you buy a car you get a manual to tell you all about the car, what it does, what buttons to push etc. God has not left us without something to help us walk through life. The Bible is our manual for life. It tells us all we will ever need to know and then some. It is an amazing book.
Congratulations! Your life will never be the same.

That honored function belongs to Microgaming, one of many oldest and most 우리카지노 respected builders within the iGaming industry. Every slot you see out there on this on line casino is powered by Microgaming, or one of their partner studios. There are benefits to being unique to only one software program provider; and that’s timed exclusivity! If you need to play a Microgaming slot early, Jackpot City is your finest guess.
