Know Jesus with love that matters most

1 John 5:11-13

¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. ¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Romans 3:23 & 24

²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

We are all born in sin under the fallen family tree of Adam.  Adam sinned causing all mankind to be infected with the sin nature.  Everyone has broken the law of God. This is why all fall short of the glory of God.  The cost of sin or the penalty to be paid for sin is death. (“The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin.” 2 Chronicles 25:4) Jesus is the only one to ever lived a sin free life.  Jesus Christ paid the debt of our sin with His life when He died on the cross.  He is our only hope !!!

Romans 5:8 
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

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

Eternal life is a gift and when we accept by faith that Jesus died for our sins on the cross we can be saved.  When we believe that Jesus was raised from the dead proving He has power over death we are taking the necessary step toward Christ in Faith.    Our human nature desires to control and rule over our lives. We must come to a place where we let go of our fears and surrender completely to Jesus. 

If you want to be saved ask Jesus to come into your life.   Ask God for for understanding and the faith to believe.  Give Jesus full authority over your life.

¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
