God's Plan for Us
Are you set for eternity?

You’re a good person. You try to be the best you can be, try to do what’s right
most of the time and try to do more good things than bad. And for all this
trying, there is still something missing in your life. Maybe this is your time to
make a real connection with God. Here’s how:

Our Problem. We can’t get to God on our own. We are separated from him by

many acts, thoughts, and attitudes that keep us moving away from God, not
toward Him. Despite how moral and upright we seem on the surface, if we
search our hearts honestly, we know it’s true.

This is called sin. Because God is perfect, He cannot allow our sin to go
unpunished without Him ceasing to be perfect, because then He would cease
to be God.

God’s Solution. He makes a way for you to find Him. Because God loves you,
He has made a way for your sin-bill to be paid. Religion and good living
cannot pay it. He sent Jesus Christ, who was both God and man, to earth. He
lived a perfect life and then was subjected to an undeserved death. After three
days He rose up out of the grave.

God saw the death of Jesus as payment for your sin. Jesus took your place. In
doing so, he made it possible to connect with God in a way that you can’t on
your own.

It’s your decision. The most important decision you will ever make in your life
is to decide what your are going to do about Jesus Christ.

1. Will you admit that you need Jesus and confess your wrongdoing?

2. Will you believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross to give you an
opportunity to spend eternity with Him?

3. Will you receive Jesus Christ into your life by choosing a relationship with
Him over your current life of selfishness and sin?

4. Will you repent, turn from your sin and turn your life over to Jesus and
obey all He commands?

You cross the bridge into God’s family when you turn to God and ask Christ to
be part of your life. God has done His part, now it’s your move. We hope to
see you in eternity.
