A living personal relationship with God is a free gift. No
one can earn it and no one deserves it. "...the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." We are saved
by grace, not by works, not by doing good.
All people have sinned and come short of glorifying
God. The wages of sin are death which separates us from the love
of God.
God is a just God and must punish sin. Yet He is
also a God of love and He provided a way out of the dilemma. Jesus
Christ took our punishment and purchased eternal life for us.
He always stands ready to forgive those who are sorry for their
sins and turn to Him.
Jesus Christ is the key to a renewed relationship
with God. Since Jesus Christ is God himself, He could take the
punishment of our sin upon Himself on the cross of Calvary and
provide eternal life with God for all who believe in Him and trust
Him as Saviour and Lord of their lives.
By believing in Jesus Christ through faith
we can know that we already have eternal life. Jesus died on the
cross, but He was raised from the dead. Those who believe in Christ
have a personal relationship with Him both now and forever.
