On March 17, 1969...I was eight years old, I said a statement similar to this to my Mom and Dad. My statement ended with a question mark based upon nervous uncertainty and and an understanding that I was lost spiritually. I was scared because I was not certain of my outcome.

I remember so well standing in the corner of the kitchen between the refrigerator and the flour bin as Mom was washing dishes. I posed my question and immediately she dried her hands and called my Dad. We went into the back bedroom and my parents explained how I could come to the assurance of my relationship with the Almighty God through repentance and trust in Jesus Christ and the accomplishments of His death, His burial and His resurrection. From that night on...I have known where I was going and I can proceed in confidence not in my capabilities or lack of capability, but in confidence that my name is in God's Book of Life. To God be the Glory. "And it has not been boring...nor will it ever."

How about you?

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 10:10b)

Because of our sin, we are separated from God.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

The Penalty for our sin is death.

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

The penalty for our sin was paid by Jesus Christ!

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

If we repent of our sin, then confess and trust Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will be saved from our sins!

For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

...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)

To receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, pray this 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. Fill me now, dear Lord, and raise me to walk in the newness of life. I thank You and praise You! Amen
