Jesus, who is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14, 8:58, Col. 2:9), bore our sins in His body on the cross. (1 Pet. 2:24) He died in our place. He paid the penalty of our sin that should have fallen upon us. He finished the work by dying on the cross so that we could be forgiven and justified in Him alone.
How Do I Know Jesus?
1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
(John 3:16)
2. We have all sinned.
The Bible tells us all of us have done, said, or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God. The Bible says "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says, "The wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23)
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. "God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life, of living forever with Him in heaven, if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
4. There is only one way!
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me." (John 14:6) God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come into your life as your Lord and Savior.
5. Receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord
If you want to receive Christ as your Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you into my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."
