How to know God!

"For this is good and acceptable  in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
1 Timothy 2:3-4

The Lord loves you and wants you to kNow HIm!

Here are 5 things God wants you to know.

Heaven

Heaven is a free gift.

Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

And heaven cannot be earned or deserved.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

Heaven had to be a free gift and cannot be earned because...

Man

Man is a sinner.

Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

And man cannot save himself.

Matthew 5:48 says “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Man also cannot save himself because of what we know of God.

God

God is merciful and doesn't want to punish us.

1 John 4:8b tells us, “God is love.”

But God is just and must punish sin.

Exodus 34:7b says, “"[God is] keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, [but] by no means clearing the guilty,”

So, we have a very serious problem, but God solved this problem in the person of Jesus Christ?

Jesus

Jesus is both God and man.

John 1:1,14 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

And Jesus died on a cross to pay for our sins and to purchase a place in heaven.

Isaiah 53:6 tells us, “All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

And this gift of God is freely received by...

Saving faith

Saving faith is not just head knowledge of temporary faith.

James 2:19 says, “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!”

But saving faith in trusting in Jesus alone for eternal life.

Acts 16:31 says, “So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."”

Does this make sense to you?

If this makes sense to you and you would like to receive God’s gift of eternal life, you can earnestly, pray and receive this gift as follows…

Dear Lord…thank You that eternal life is a free gift…I know that I can’t earn it…and that I’ll never deserve it…I know that I have sinned…and that I can’t save myself…I thank You that You love me…I also know that You are just…and must punish my sin…But I thank you for Jesus…who died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sin...and rose from the dead to prove you can offer me eternal life...I now transfer my trust…from my own good works…or anything I could do on my own…and I trust You Jesus Christ alone for my eternal life…Please cCme into my life as my personal Savior…and help me follow You as the Lord of my life…Thank you for the free gift of eternal life…I receive it now…In Jesus name I pray…Amen.
