SALVATION
Each of us goes through trials and times of change as we struggle through this life. We often wonder what is the purpose and why do horrible things happen. Where is the love, peace and joy on this earth? We search for hope and love in so many things and come up empty-handed or discouraged time after time. This is not what God originally intended for you and me. The Lord created us to have a relationship with him and be harmonized in the world he created for us. God also gave us a choice to follow him or choose our own path. Unfortunately, mankind chose to break the relationship in the Garden of Eden which led to sin and death to all. The world that was created to be a paradise soon became filled with disease, hunger, chaos and death. It is an impossibility that only can be fixed through God. He provided the only solution to restore the relationship and fill the void in our lives we desperately try to fill with so many things. God asks that we turn away from our sins and the attempts to fill the void in our lives.
“Repent, then turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,
that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”
He asks with open arms for us to come to Him and accept His Son, Jesus. He wants us to believe that Jesus is His Son and was sent to save us by dying on the cross.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
How do you restore the relationship with God? By committing to Him with our hearts. Give your life to him and He will fill the void. He is Hope, Love, Peace and Joy for all of eternity. He is waiting for you. Ask Him into your heart and life today.
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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
