BEGIN A NEW LIFE
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then at the right time and place He created you.
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' (Acts 17:24-28)
Christianity is not just a religion; True Christians experience a deep personal relationship with the Creator God of the universe. All other religions of the world have one thing in common they are attempting to reach God by their own efforts and traditions. Only the God of the Bible reaches out to people in love. He has provided a way for you to be united with Him. The way is through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus says to you, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) Jesus the Christ is the only true path for unity with God. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
The gospel (good news) message recorded in the Holy Bible is that Jesus Christ came down from heaven to rescue people and restore their relationship to God. Jesus was born from a virgin woman and He lived in a human body. Jesus lived a perfect life without sin. When Jesus died a painful death on a cross He did not deserve it. He did not die for Himself, He died for you. Jesus paid the penalty for sin so that whoever enters into Him will have their sins covered by His blood. Jesus rose from the dead and later ascended back into heaven.
Over 2 billion people on earth call themselves Christian, which means to be a follower of Christ. Jesus Christ continues to have a far greater impact upon individuals and the world than any one else who has ever lived. The Bible continues to be the best selling book of all time. There are millions of witnesses who testify to having a life changing encounter with Jesus. There is a reason for these facts, the reason is because Jesus is Truth.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. (1 John 4:9-10)
The God of the Holy Bible offers us His grace; grace is a free gift, a gift that we do not deserve. We do not work to receive God’s gift of salvation, but when we receive salvation by faith then our faith will be proven by doing the works of God which He has prepared for us to do. When you accept God’s grace through faith you then enter into the destiny that God has planned for your life. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10)
