The search for peace
is something that has been a goal of every generation of men, women and
children. Peace can be one of the most elusive things in the world
because true peace, peace that lasts, peace that endures: that peace does
not come from the world. True peace can only be received from the one
who created it . . . God himself. God knows that we desire lasting
peace in our hearts. He sent his prophet Isaiah to speak about peace: |
|
If only you had paid attention to my commands,
your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Isaiah 48:18 |
|
When we do not keep all of God's
commandments we rebel against God. He has clearly told us in His
Bible what he wants us to do but we do not read the Bible to understand
his direction. 1John says this:
This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
1 John 5:2-5 |
| Our
refusal to obey God on His terms is called sin and results in our being
separated from God. But yet God loves us in spite of our rebellion against
Him so He gave us one last way out. While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. Jesus became sin for us and died on the cross to
cancel our unpayable sin debt to God, in full, and once and
for all time. And what is our part in this? What is it we
must do? "But as
many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in his name."
John 1:12 |
To
receive Christ you must:
1. Admit
your need (God, I am a sinner)
2. Be willing to turn from your sin. (repent)
3. Believe that Christ died for you and rose from the dead.
4. Through prayer, cry out to God and ask Jesus into your
life. Ask him to help you change.
Do you want God to be number 1 in your life? If you do, now is the
time. Receive him right now. You may never have another
chance. More information is available
