    Friend, the best thing you can do today is to come to Jesus Christ and be saved. If you have never been saved, today it the day when you need to do just that! Today, He will receive you and He will be your Savior, John 6:37. If you wait and die lost, then the One Who could have saved you will be the One Who will condemn you! God’s Purpose: Peace and Life
    God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life – abundant and eternal. The Bible says, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10B) Why don’t most people have this peace and abundant life that God planned for us to have?

    The Problem: Our Separation
    God created us in His own image to have a full life. He did not make us like robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and freedom of choice. We choose to disobey God and go our own way. This results in separation from God. The Bible says “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23), And “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) Our choice results in separation from God.

    Our Attempts to Reach God
    People have tried many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God. The Bible says, “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:2) No bridge reaches God…except one.

    God’s Bridge: The Cross
    Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people. The Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) God has provided the only way… but each person must make a choice.

    Our Response: Receive Christ
    We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation. The Bible says, “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.” (Romans 10:9) Where are you?

    Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
    Here is how you can receive Christ:
    Admit your need. (I am a sinner.)
    Be willing to turn from your sins (Repent.)
    Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on
    the Cross and rose from the grave.
    Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in
    and control your life through the Holy Spirit.
    (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)

    How to pray:
    Dear Lord Jesus: I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow you as Lord and Savior.

    God’s Assurance: His Word
    If you prayed this prayer, the Bible says “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should: Read your Bible every day to know Christ better. Talk to God in prayer every day. Tell others about Christ. Worship, fellowship and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached. As Christ’s representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.

    Thanks Jim!

    Here was my prayer to God for salvation:

    "All I know is that I need YOU Lord God. Please forgive my sins".

    I knew nothing at the time but that I was a sinner headed for hell and I was utterly miserable. God opened the door and I went through. Thank YOU :jesus:

    Proverbs 14:14

    King James Version (KJV)

    14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. I put this post up because a lot of you are acting like unsaved people, as a matter of fact I know some unsaved people that act better. After seeing some cut throat post I'm ashamed to be called a Baptist. I don't say this to be mean, but some of you just don't get it. Satan is having a field day here, you need to WAKE UP! It was you that put the nails in Jesus hands and feet, and the sad thing about it is your still doing it HEBREWS 6:6
