GET WITH GOD

GOD LOVES YOU--JUST AS YOU ARE. NEVER DOUBT IT.

God loves you so much that He can't bear to be separated from you even a little bit. And that's why He did the most incredible thing imaginable----FOR YOU---and me too!

"For God so loved YOU that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him should not die but have eternal life."  John 3:16

"But God is so rich in mercy; he loved us so much that even though we were spiritually dead and doomed by our sins, he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead--only by his undeserved favor have we ever been saved." Ephesians 2:4

TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO BE JOINED TO GOD! DON'T WAIT.

Hebrews 4:7 "Today when you hear him calling, do not harden your hearts against him."

He has made a way for you to joined to Him---in a Covenant relationship. No matter who else wants to be with you or doesn't---God does! It is His desire to have fellowship with you in an intimate way,  both now, and throughout eternity.

But there's a  problem. We are separated from him because of something called 'sin' which simply means 'missing the mark'. We all miss the mark of perfection.

   “As the Scriptures say, ‘No one is good – not even one.  No one has real understanding; no one is seeking God.  All have turned away from God; all have gone wrong. No one does good, not even one.’"        Romans 3:10-12

See, you’re not alone. All of humanity was born imperfect. And God, in his love, has provided a way past this so we can enjoy His presence right now---and also in eternity.

In past times, He gave strict laws and commands to guide us in how we should conduct our relationships with God and with our neighbors. But no one could measure up, because God sees our hearts and motives. The Laws made us aware of just how badly we behave towards all.

God, in His Mercy, not only provided forgiveness, but also provided the internal “change of heart” we need to fulfill His requirements; simply by having faith in what He has promised to us to make us righteous.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."      Romans 6:23

"So, we see that no one can ever be right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."   Galatians 3:11

 “And the result of God's gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man's sin. For Adam's sin led to condemnation, but we have the free gift of being accepted by God, even though we are guilty of many sins.  The sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over us, but all who receive God's wonderful, gracious gift of righteousness will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ. ”     Romans 5:16-17

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. "There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God." John 3:16-21

THEN, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? 

BELIEVE---RECEIVE---CONFESS.

For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed”       Romans 10:9-11  

If you’re tired of living without intimate fellowship with God---if you're looking for Hope and for purpose, this gift is for you. And it all begins with a simple prayer…..

“Heavenly Father, I see my need for you and your Son, Jesus. I confess that I've fallen short of your mark of perfection and I ask your forgiveness, in the name of Jesus. I believe that He died for my sins and rose from the dead. I believe that His sacrifice was enough to save me. Please take over my life and fill me with Your Holy Spirit.  Guide me,  and teach me Your will for my life. Thank you...God. Amen”

If you prayed that prayer with all your heart, God heard it and has entered into a Covenant relationship with you. Your life will never be the same.

So, what’s next? Get a Bible- it is God’s love letter to you. Begin by reading the gospel of John, an historical eyewitness account of Jesus’ life and ministry on earth. Romans is a good second book, written by the apostle Paul, it tells a lot about God’s love for his people. Then maybe read Genesis and Exodus; it gives a lot of background and foundation to everything else.

Listen carefully to that 'voice' in your heart. It will be God speaking to you. When you know it’s him (and you will), be obedient. Constant disobedience causes you to lose touch with God---not because He’s left you, but because you haven't listened.

But, even if you walk away from God, it’s always only one step back. He's just one prayer away.
