Whoever you are, whatever you’ve done, forgiveness, love, joy, peace, salvation, and redemption are available to you through the blood of Jesus Christ who was horribly beaten beyond recognition and died on the cross for your sins and mine.
He can heal you. He can heal the broken heart that you never think will be healed. He can heal your brokenness. He can break addictions. He can heal broken families. He can heal broken marriages.
He will give you peace unlike anything you can explain or imagine. He will shower you with His love. He will be your best friend, and the best place of refuge for comfort during your struggles.
To receive this you have to admit that you have sinned and you have to admit that you want to live your life His way instead of yours. You have to admit His way is better than your way. You have to turn away from sin and turn toward Him. You have to ask Him to forgive you for your sin, and to come live in you so that He can rule and lead in your life and clean you up. You have to ask Him to be your Lord and Master. You have to lay down your pride and surrender your life and your will to Him. And you need to ask to be filled and baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Receiving salvation requires that you have an intimate relationship with Jesus where you know Him and He knows you. You get to know Him by reading His word (the bible), and you both get to know each other through you talking with Him in prayer. You confess your sins, you tell Him your struggles, you enjoy His presence, you ask Him for help for yourself and for others. And He helps you. And you continue to build your relationship by doing what He taught.
Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you. He loves you and it is His desire and wish that you will come to Him. He loves you, and He wants to save you; it’s why He died such a brutal death for us. Jesus is calling you now; will you answer His call?
John 3:16-19 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Romans 5:6-8 KJV
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 3:23 KJV
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23 KJV
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 2:21 KJV
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
