TRUE LOVE

Everyone in the world is
searching for love. We say
we love to eat. We love our
pets. We love to make
money. But that kind of
love doesn't last for very long. The good news is that
there is another kind of
love -- love that comes
from God. God’s love lasts
forever. God’s love asks
for nothing in return. He loves you just the way you
are.
1. God Loves You! The Bible says, "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" The problem is that... 2. All of us have done, said or
thought things that are
wrong. This is called sin, and
our sins have separated us
from God. The Bible says "All have sinned
and fall short of the glory of
God." God is perfect and holy,
and our sins separate us
from God forever. The Bible
says "The wages of sin is death." The good news is that, about
2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus
Christ to die for our sins. Jesus is the Son of God. He
lived a sinless life and then
died on the cross to pay the
penalty for our sins. "God
demonstrates His own love
for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for
us." Jesus rose from the dead and
now He lives in heaven with
God His Father. He offers us
the gift of eternal life -- of
living forever with Him in
heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus
said "I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to
the Father except by Me." God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His
child. "As many as received
Him, to them He gave the
right to become children of
God, even to those who believe on His name." You can
choose to ask Jesus Christ to
forgive your sins and come in
to your life as your Lord and
Savior.
4. If you want to accept
Christ as your Savior and
turn from your sins, you can
ask Him to be your Savior
and Lord by praying a prayer
like this: "Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always." Did you pray this prayer? YES NO.
