The Good News
The most important message you will ever hear
"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 Loves You
You are not an accident. You were created by a loving God who knows you by name and cares deeply about every detail of your life. He created you for a purpose and desires a personal relationship with you.
"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." — Jeremiah 31:3
We Have a Problem
All of us have sinned—we've all done wrong things, thought wrong thoughts, and fallen short of God's perfect standard. This sin separates us from God and leads to spiritual death. No amount of good works can bridge this gap.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." — Romans 3:23
God's Solution
Because God loves us, He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again on the third day, conquering sin and death forever. This is the Gospel—the good news!
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:8
"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." — 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Your Response
Salvation is a free gift from God—you cannot earn it. To receive this gift, you must believe in Jesus Christ, turn from your sins (repent), and trust Him as your Lord and Savior. It's a personal decision that changes everything.
"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." — Romans 10:9
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9
New Life in Christ
When you believe in Jesus, you receive forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and become a child of God. The Holy Spirit comes to live within you, transforming you from the inside out. You become part of God's family and begin a new life with purpose and hope.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." — 2 Corinthians 5:17
Ready to Receive Christ?
If you would like to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can pray this prayer from your heart:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose again. I want to turn from my sins and invite Jesus to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow Him as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you prayed this prayer sincerely, welcome to the family of God! We encourage you to find a Bible-believing church, read God's Word daily, pray, and tell others about your decision.
