This Could Be the Day!

I would never want to offend you. In fact, I greatly care for you. So that’s why I am taking a risk and giving you this simple explanation of how much God loves you and how you and I can spend eternity in heaven.

We are living in a crazy, mixed-up world, and if you’re like me, you may have wondered if we are living in the final days of history. I know that sounds scary, but according to the Bible, we should not be afraid. God has provided a way to escape what the Bible says is to come, and I want to share it with you. Perhaps if you’re like me, you will find forgiveness, comfort, and peace in Jesus. I pray that if you don’t know Him as Savior already, you would ask Him to forgive you from your sin, as this could be the day of His return.

God’s Simple Way of Salvation

God loves you! “For 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 has a wonderful plan for your life! “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

Because of your sin, you are separated from God. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

The penalty for sin is death. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

The penalty for your sin was paid by Jesus Christ! “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

If you repent of your sin, confess and trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved from your sins! “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10). “For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved’” (Romans 10:13).

God Forgives Us for Our Sins

GOD LOVES YOU, and nothing you’ve done is outside of God’s forgiveness. God’s forgiveness is like putting your sin as far away as the east is from the west (see Psalm 103:12). When God forgives you, He welcomes you into His presence where there is joy and pleasure forever. Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” You can receive God’s forgiveness and have your greatest turning point.

To receive God’s forgiveness, simply ask Him to forgive you for your sin. Here is a simple suggestion for your prayer.

Lord Jesus, I’m like everyone else—I can’t make it through life on my own. I’m imperfect. I’m prone to sin. I have come to realize that there’s nothing in the world I can do to make myself acceptable to You. But I know that You have loved me so much that You were willing to submit to the cross and die on my behalf. That’s a grace so amazing I cannot understand it; I can only accept it. And I do. I accept Your free gift, and I know that from this moment on, I am saved. I am a child of God. And I give the rest of my life to serving You and experiencing the joy that only You can offer. I thank You and praise You! Amen.
