God's love and Salvation

     "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." God loves us. He cares about us. He wants us to reach out for Him. Why else would He have created the earth and all that is in it; including you?
       Psalm 91:14-16 declares this: "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him my salvation."
       Just think about that for a moment; reflect upon it. "I will deliver him; I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him; I will satisfy him." Aren't these amazing promises for us to hold on to? GOD LOVES US!! He always does, no matter what we do-- so long as we turn back to Him. That is what He desires; for us to come to Him-- each and every one of the people on the face of the earth. 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
       Jesus came, lived and died to save us. He loves us, just like His Father does. His story of life, death, and resurrection are found in the Gospels-- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I want to quote a verse from John 3:16. It says this: "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." Amazing, isn't it? The Holy One who created the universe-- Who existed before the world began-- Who sent His Son to die because He loves us so much-- how is it possible to reject Jesus and His Father and the Holy Spirit? Yes, it may be scary and intimidating at first, but He is the best thing that can and will ever happen to you. Giving your life for something bigger is scary, but He is with you through it all!
       If you want to accept Jesus as your personal Savior, all that you have to do is follow the few easy steps: A- admit that you are a sinner
          B- believe that Jesus loves you and that He came, lived, and died and ressurected from the dead
          C- confess your sins, and allow Jesus to work in your heart and mind.
This is all He wants. Will you accept Him? Will you love him and trust Him with your life? I encourage you to do so. It will be the most important decision you will ever make, but it will be the best one!
       If you do not make this choice, remember this-- Jesus loves you and He will never give up on you. He will continue to love and care about you anyway, and will keep fighting for you. He does not force or push, but He will be ever-present in your life. He loves you, and that is the reason why He will do this. But remember, you have a limited amount of time. Everyone does! The longer you push Him away, the longer you harden your heart. He can wait forever-- you can't!! He doesn't want to be pushed away forever. But, he knows you, and cares about you. He wants what's best for you-- please remember that.
       If you did take this step tonight, I commend you. You have just made the most important decision of your life. Remember, the road will not be easy. The world doesn't really like Christians. But, there will always be God. He will love you and be your ever-present help in times of trouble. May God bless you tonight and always.
