Yes! Here's Hope: JESUS Cares for You.
The Bible says:
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13)HCSB
GOD'S POWER CAN MAKE US SECURE
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.
GOD'S POWER CAN RESULT IN CHANGE
Romans 2:4 Or do you despiese the riches of His kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
SIN MAKES CHANGE NECESSARY
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
GOD STILL LOVES US
Romans 5:8 But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!
SIN EARNS DEATH, BUT GOD GIVES LIFE
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus or Lord.
CONFESS, REPENT, BELIEVE, CALL
Romans 10:9-10 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. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
ARE YOU READY TO RECIEVE GOD'S OFFER OF ETERNAL LIFE AND HOPE?
If so, please pray the following prayer. Remember, it is not the words that you use, but the attitude of your heart. If you pray this prayer sincerely, Jesus will come into your life, and in Him you will have eternal life and hope.
"Dear God, I know that Jesus is Your Son and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. Because I have sinned and need forgiveness, I ask Jesus to come into my heart. I am willing to change the direction of my life by acknowledging Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and by turning away from my sins. Thank You for giving me forgiveness, eternal life, and hope. In Jesus' name, Amen."
You are assured of Eternal Life and Hope Because:
* You can trust God's promise.
* For "EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED" (Romans 10:13)
Did you sincerely ask Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior? Where is He right now? what does God's Word promise?
* You are a member of God's family.
" The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God's children" (Romans 8:16)
* Your life is eternally secure in God.
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Chrisht Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39)
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU RECIEVE HOPE FROM GOD?
