You Matter To Jesus More Than You Can Ever Imagine
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
~1 Peter 2:24~
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.​
~1 Peter 3:18~
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
~2 Corinthians 5:21~
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
​
~1 Timothy 2:3c-4~
God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
~2 Peter 3:9~
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to REPENTANCE.
* God LOVES you.
*John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
* Jesus IS God, (the Son), in the flesh.
*John 1:1 *In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. *John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
* Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven.
*John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
* Admit that you have SINNED against
a holy God.
*Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; * The penalty for sin is DEATH— SEPARATION from God in the Lake of Fire for all eternity! *Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
* We must REPENT--TURN AWAY
FROM SIN.
(Note: not sinless perfectionism but rather choosing to follow Jesus as God gives you the grace). *2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
* We need to BELIEVE in & CALL upon
the Lord Jesus Christ to save us.
*Romans 10:9-10,13 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ...For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

If you believe the Gospel, I encourage you to pray ‘something like this’ with all sincerity from your heart to the heart of God.
Dear Lord God,
I confess that I sinned against You, and I am truly sorry for my sins. I ask You to be my Lord and my Savior. I trust You when You say salvation comes by Your grace and mercy, through faith, and not by anything I have done or can do. I now receive You into my life as my Lord and Savior. Today, I’m turning over every part of my life to You. I want to live the way You created me to live and use the rest of my life to serve You instead of serving myself. I commit my life to You and ask You to save me and accept me into Your family.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
