There’s no requirement to join a church, go to a special meeting, talk to a pastor, or anything like that.

If you are reading this and don’t yet know Jesus, there’s no magic formula to being included in the family of God. There’s no requirement to join a church, go to a special meeting, talk to a pastor, or anything like that. Simply realize that you are lost without Him and spiritually dead in your sins. Realize that life, apart from God, despite whatever temporal pleasures you may experience in the moment now, such will bring only an end of eternal separation from Him – not because He is against you, but because only you can refuse the free gift He’s given… So many of the things people engage in because they feel it’s their right and freewill choice to do whatever they want, later discover the adverse consequences that slowly have been eating away at their heart. Often those who say they’re not hurting anyone, deep inside know better – because there is a gaping hole and longing for God’s mercy and His touch of love. Pride, bitterness, and all manner of sins we have committed clamour with their deceptive aims to keep us from humbling ourselves and reaching up. God is not ignorant of the reality of this struggle. And even through the greatest darkness, He continues to reach out with love. There is a song by U2 called “Until The End of the World” where Bono (lead singer) is speaking as the voice of a Judas character who has done everything possible to run from God. In the end he says, “waves of regret, waves of joy… I reached out to the One I tried to destroy… YOU, You said You’d wait ’till the end of the world.” And there God is, hating the sin that progressively works death in you and drags you down into further and further chains of bondage – yet continually waiting for you to see His eyes of love and His outstreched arms, calling you to leave it all and embrace Him.


He paid the greatest price to save you. He made the way possible. Jesus laid down His very life to pay the sacrifice that your sins and mine deserved. God robed Himself in human flesh and shed innocent blood to justify you and me! Because of His freewill choice to pay what He did not have to pay, there is not a single thing we have ever done that can remove us from the open invitation to receive the grace He’s given! That’s why it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, you cannot be excluded from His desire to save you! And no matter the guilt you possess, there is also no good work you can do to earn His favor. HE ALREADY FAVORED YOU!!! You have one response……. Believe with all your heart that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead and is ready to make your heart His Temple, where He will abide with you forever. You can be made alive and totally washed clean, purified of all your sins RIGHT NOW by simply believing in His sacrifice on the cross. Take some time to count the cost of leaving behind your entire way of thinking before and ask Him to be the Lord of your life. There’s no rote prayer you have to pray. Use your own words and talk to Him as you would a friend. He is waiting, listening and He has been your whole life. If this call is touching your heart, it isn’t because I have any persuasive ability, but because God Himself is drawing you to Himself!
