Jesus came that you
might have life, overflowing with good things (John 10:10)! Here are
some answers for how you can have joy in your life. (For more
information, check the Bible references included in
parentheses.)
Who is
Jesus?
Jesus is God's Son. He came
to earth, lived a perfect life, died as a sacrifice for our sins, and came
back to life so that we can live forever with God. Now, Jesus sits
at the right hand of God in Heaven, and He prays for us. (John 1:14;
Hebrews 10:10; 1 John 5:10-13; Romans 8:34; Ephesians
1:20-21)
Why
would Jesus die for you?
He
loves you! He died because of the joy of knowing you could live
forever with God. He wants to be with you. (John 3:16; Hebrews
12:2)
What is
sin?
Sin is any action that is not
pleasing to God. Everyone, even a good person, has sinned, and sin
separates us from God. (James 4:17; Romans 3:23)
How can
you have a relationship with God?
All
you have to do is believe two things:
1) Jesus died and came back to life
for you. (John 3:16)
2) You have sinned and need
God. (Romans 10:9-10)
If you
believe that, then tell God. Pray this prayer (or something like
it):
God, I know that I've messed up
in my life. I have sinned. But, God, I believe in Your Son
Jesus. I believe He died for me and rose again. So, I ask you
to forgive me of all of my sins. I want to live forever with
You!
Now,
what?
If you just prayed this prayer
from your heart, then angels in Heaven are celebrating because you are
saved! We want to celebrate with you, too.

You
have just started a brand new life, a life with God. The Bible says
you've been born again. There are some things that you can do to
help you in your new Christian life. Find a local church so that you
can learn more about what it means to be a Christian. Read the
Bible; it's God's Word, and there's some really great stuff in
there! And pray. Prayer is simply communication with God, and
He really wants to talk with you! (John 3:1-16; 1 Peter
1:2) |
