Mercy

Jesus is speaking to Mary in John 20:17, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

As I was reading this my heart leapt at this great truth! We as Christians share, SHARE!!! the same God and Father with our Lord Jesus!

Thank you Father for your mercy!

What must I do to be saved?

Romans 3:23 says that "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." That means me and you.

Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." The term death there means eternal separation from God. We do not simply cease to exist! The Gift God has offered us is free. It is not by works.

Romans 10:9 says "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." This is a decision we all need to make.

This salvation is not a religion.
This salvation is a relationship with a very personal God.

It is not saying a prayer and going back to living as a sinner.
It is making Jesus Christ Lord of you life.

It is not a life of ease. It is not about being healthy and wealthy.
It is love, joy, peace, happyness and so much more that only Jesus Christ can offer.

Jesus says in John 14:6 "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me."

Jesus is the only way!
If you would like to make a decision for Christ let me know. I will do all that I am able to see that you find a great church to help you grow!
