Jesus is our Creator, Redeemer, and Savior. He came to save us from our sins. He is a loving, compassionate, merciful God who lived a sinless life to save man. Through faith in Him, we receive forgiveness, eternal life, and a relationship with God.
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"I and the Father are one."
When we learn of Jesus and see His great love, we will have faith in Him. Jesus told us to come to Him and confess our sins. When we repent and confess, He will forgive us. We will have salvation.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast."
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Jesus prayed daily when He was on this earth, and God tells us to pray to Him, promising to answer. He gives us everything we need to have a good prayer life. God wants us to communicate with Him in prayer. Jesus' life also shows us our need for Him, and that we aren't alone in our struggles.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
The Gospels tell the story of Jesus' life. Each book brings out different points for us to better understand His life. Each book glorifies the life of Jesus and helps us to see Jesus as Creator, Redeemer, Man, and Savior. Jesus gives us all of the information we need to live a life in Him.
"These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
When David wrote the Psalms, some days were good and some days weren't so good. The Psalms are filled with sadness, praise, hope, joy, and peace. As you read each chapter you will see God's love, compassion, and mercy all through it. David praises God through it all and all through his life. We also see the coming of Jesus foretold in the Psalms.
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters."
"For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet — I can count all my bones — they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."
"The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes."
Now that you've made your decision for Jesus, here are some Bible verses to help you on your journey.
"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah." When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
