Let us tell you about a free gift that will
change your life forever...
Do you want a free gift?
Can you accept the fact that you don't have to
do anything to earn this free gift? Is it okay with you that you
only have to accept this gift to receive it and nothing more?
We want you to understand that there are no
hidden gimmicks, no special requirements, no strings attached to
this gift in any way. Once you accept it, the gift will be 100%
yours. This sounds pretty awesome, right?!?
One more clarification question...
**Please think
carefully about how you answer this because your free gift is at
stake.**
If you died today, this very moment, are you
absolutely positive that you would go to heaven?
If you hesitated, if you debated, if your answer
was anything other than an instant "Yes, I
am positive that my sins are forgiven and I will spend eternity
in Heaven when I die," then you need to read below to
learn about the free gift that God is offering you today!
You may be thinking that receiving a free gift from God is
almost too good to be true. We’ve all been taught that nothing
is truly free, right? In this case you are both right and wrong.
This gift from God to you is free, but it cost Jesus His life.
That’s what makes this such a wonderful gift!
Jesus willingly gave up His life on a Roman
cross more than 2000 years ago so that God could offer each of
us the free gift of eternal life. There is nothing that we can
do to earn this gift. It's a simple matter of faith in Jesus.
"For it is by grace you
have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it
is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
~Ephesians 2:8-9~
"For the wages of sin is
death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord."
~Romans 6:23~
Each of us has sin in our lives. If we have lied, stolen,
lusted, desired something that belongs to someone else, or any
other number of sins that would separate us from God, then we
deserve eternal death. Jesus took our place so that we would not
have to endure that death! Now all we need to do is accept the
free gift that God is offering. "God
demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us."
~Romans 5:8~
You need to understand one very important thing.
There is only one way to receive the free gift God offers and
that is by coming to God through Jesus. Jesus said:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
~John 14:6~
With that in mind, there are five main steps
to accepting your free gift from God:
Admit
You must admit that you are a sinner. This can be a difficult
thing to do for many people, but it is the first step we all
must take towards receiving the wonderful Gift that God offer
us.
"For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;"
~Romans 3:23~
"Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned."
~Romans 5:12~
"If we say that we have not
sinned,
we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
~1 John 1:10~
Confess
Now that you are in agreement with God that you are a sinner you
must confess your sin openly to God.
"If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us
from all unrighteousness."
~I John 1:9~
Believe
You must believe that Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and
rose from the dead.
"If you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that
you
confess and are saved." ~Romans
10:9-10~
"For God so loved the world that
He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish, but have eternal life."
~John 3:16~
Repent
You must repent of your sins; the old lifestyle you have been
living. When you repent it means that you are sorry that you
have sinned against God. Repentance literally means to turn
around and change direction. You are making the choice to turn
from a life of sin and begin a new life of obedience to God.
"Repent, then, and turn to God,
so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may
come from the Lord." ~Acts 3:19~
Receive
The free gift is offered to you. Now you have to receive it
willingly and thankfully. It’s impossible to receive a gift
unless you take the step to accept it from the Giver. It’s time
to invite Jesus into your heart. Receive Him as your personal
Lord and Savior.
"Yet to all who received him, to
those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God..." ~ John 1:12~
Are you ready to receive the free gift Jesus
offers you today?
Do you believe that no matter how many "good
works" you do in this life you cannot earn the free gift of
eternal salvation?
Can you admit that you are a sinner living
outside of God's will for your life?
Are you ready to confess your sinfulness before
your loving God so that He can forgive and purify your life?
Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins and
rose from the dead so that you could receive the free gift of
eternal life?
Are you ready to turn from your current
lifestyle and begin living your life for God?
If you answered "YES" to all of these
questions then pray the following prayer and receive the free
gift of eternal life with Jesus, TODAY!
Dear Jesus, I want to have a personal relationship with
you. I confess that I’m a sinner and that I deserve the death
you died for me. Thank you for taking my sins and dying on a
cross in my place. I believe you died for me, and I accept your
free gift of salvation. Thank you Jesus. I love you. Amen.
