Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He is God. If you have never been introduced to Him, we consider it an honor to tell you His story. Jesus Christ was in the beginning with God. He is One with the Father and the Spirit of God. All things, including you, were created by Him, through Him and for Him. Perhaps you thought that you were created for you, but you are wrong. You are created to bring glory to God and to know God. The only way to know God is through His Son, the Mediator. When the Bible calls Jesus 'Mediator' - that is because He died on the cross as our substitute and made it possible for us (sinful people) to even approach God (the Holy One). Before He died on a cross, He came to the earth.
He was born from a virgin teenage girl named Mary who was just part of God's plan. She does not deserve worship, nor should she ever be prayed to. As Jesus grew up, He lived a sinless and perfect life. He spent much time homeless and lived a life of servitude and humility. When Jesus died on the cross, He had completed over 300 prophecies spoken about Him. 100% of the things that the Old Testament said about Him were fulfilled in His life, death and resurrection. When Jesus rose from the dead, He showed Himself to over 500 people over a period of 40 days in at least 12 different occasions. Afterward, He ascended into Heaven and He will come again. Everyone will stand before the Judgment of God one day.
A man named Paul said that if Jesus Christ was not resurrected from the dead, we are wasting our time. The truth is, He was resurrected to prove to us and to you that He is who He says He is and He did what He said He would do. So, what does all of this mean for you? Well, you must know first that you are a sinner. You have broken God's laws and none of us can stand before God on our own. The Good News is that Jesus Christ' death on the cross was for us and for our sin and satisfied God's wrath. The Scriptures say that 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. The Scriptures say that anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved.
Today is the day. The choice is yours. If you choose Jesus, you must choose Him as Savior and Lord of your life. If you agree and want to say, "yes!" to His free gift of salvation, you can start your eternal relationship with Him by praying something like this:
"Jesus, help me, save me, I believe in You, I believe Your cross and resurrection, and I am a sinner. I have sinned against you in the following ways (talk to Him) and even ways that I did not know. I need You to save me, cleanse me and make me new. Please fill me with Your Spirit and help me to live for You as Savior and Lord of my life. In Jesus Name, I pray, amen."
