EVER FEEL LIKE NO ONE LOVES YOU? LIKE NO ONE EVEN CARES?
Let me tell you the truth, right now!! You are so loved, by the VERY CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!!
God SO LOVED THE WORLD that He gave His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life....
In other words, GOD SO LOVED YOU, that He gave His One and Only, to die on the cross!
When we accept His Son, Jesus, we become His children, however, we are adopted. God only has one son from His own seed, and that is Jesus, and He gave Him over to be exchanged for your life...for my life!
As a mother, I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE giving a child of my own flesh and blood over willingly to die a painful death for another's life! WHAT LOVE that God the Father has for all of us that He gave His own Son to be paid as a death payment to redeem us from the tormentor!

You see, because of the fall of Adam, we were forever lost! We were hopeless; without a remedy! We would all die and be lost. Even though we were created to be in fellowship with the Father and live forever, but Adam and Eve, the first created humans, allowed the Deceiver, to trick them into eating of the one tree in the Garden that they were forbidden to eat from, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
They were told by God that in the day that they ate of it that they would surely die. But Satan, the evil one, lied to them and tempted them to do so and so they did eat and sin and death entered the world.

And that is the world into which you and I were born, and the Deceiver is still going around deceiving the hearts of men and women and men and women are still falling prey to his evil schemes!
BUT GOD HAD A PLAN!!! To send His own Son down to earth to die as a payment for our sin...
THE ONLY WAY!!
AND SO LOVE CAME DOWN!
"And that was to send His own Son to be made a blood payment to redeem our lives! He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him." John 1:11
The children of God, the Israelite's, God's chosen people, rejected Him and killed Him! They beat Him, they whipped Him with flesh ripping tips and marred Him to the point that He no longer resembled a man! Then they crucified Him....they hung Him up on a cross by nails in His hands and in His feet, and He bled and died!
This act of theirs, rejecting the foretold Messiah, was what opened salvation up for the whole world!!
This had been foretold of by the prophets of God long ago, and so it was that it must happen for us so that we could be redeemed from the fall of Adam.
This one ACT OF LOVE so big was what was needed for you and I to be brought back into right standing with the Father again.
And so it is that we are brought to the place of the cross! It is the cross that He died for you and I, and it is at the cross that we must come for forgiveness for our sins so that we can receive eternal life with our Maker, our Creator.
By accepting what Jesus did on that cross as a payment for our sins is what makes Him our Father and us His children. There is NO OTHER WAY!
"There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
So run to Him today!! Run to the cross! Receive Him there and receive LIFE!!
You see, He didn't just die on the cross and that's the end! No, there's more!
When He died, He went down to hell and made an open spectacle of the devil...He took away from him the keys of death and hell and came back! Three days after He died, He AROSE!
He came back from death and received His body back to life!! He went back up to heaven and now He is seated on His throne next to His Father!!
The Bible says,
"He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross." Colossians 2:14-15
That means our charge of sin against us is canceled!
When we come to Him and receive Him as our Savior, He cancels our sin debt with His blood! We get a new Master! No longer are we a slave to sin, but now we become a slave to righteousness! That's freedom in Christ!
"Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living." Romans 6:18
This is a great video, depicting the Gospel perfectly!
The Bible says in Romans 10:9:
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
The Bible also tells us that He's coming back for us the same way He left...in the clouds:
"Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory" Luke 21:27
"Look, He is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see him, even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him." So shall it be! Amen." Revelation 1:7
Receive Jesus today as your Savior, and receive ETERNAL LIFE!!
Say this prayer out loud:
