Who is Jesus?
Put simply He is the light of the world and the Son of God. Jesus was a real living person born of a virgin who came to save you and I. He gave up all His heavenly glory to come down to Earth and bare the sins for all of us. He loves each of us so much and knows the struggles we face each and every day. He is the one who has been and always will be that sits at the right hand of the Father. His stories have been told for centuries and His miracles continue to inspire many today. But He is far from simple, because He is indescribable. He fed 5,000 men and their families on five loaves of bread and two fish. He healed the sick, opened up blind eyes, gave the lame the ability to walk, opened deaf ears, cast out demons from men and women who were possessed, and raised a man who was dead for four days! But the most important thing He ever did was take our place on the cross, bearing the weight of sin and shame so that we may have eternal life, a closer relationship with God, and may be washed clean in His blood! He is the embodiment of LOVE and no other God has ever done, for you and I, what Jesus came to do for us!!!
How do I find Jesus?
He is not illusive and will be there if you simply call upon His name. There is no ritual or five step program. He asks that all we do is humble ourselves, confess our sins to Him, ask Him to become our savior, and believe it with all our hearts. That's it! Do this and He will be with you all your days. His spirit will live and dwell within you forever. The Bible tells us to asks and we shall receive, seek and we shall find, and knock and the door shall be opened. Below is a sinner's prayer that will help you if you're unsure of where to begin:
Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. I need forgiveness and I am sorry for my sins. I believe with my whole heart that you are the Son of God and you died on the Cross at Calvary for me. Come into my heart and cleanse me and make me new. Today I submit my life to you and make you my Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord for loving me. In Jesus name, Amen.
Walking with Jesus
Now that you have asked Him into your heart, you are ready to begin your walk with Jesus. You won't take off running right away and you will have roadblocks occasionally cross your path. But if you keep believing in Him, He will make a way and provide a path. Find a local church that believes in all 66 books of the Bible and begin to read His word. Slowly addictions, unsavory desires, and trials of your life will fade away. Your life will be like a garden that is slowly weeded revealing lush fruits and vegetables for a bountiful harvest. Soon you'll be telling everyone about the wonderful love of Jesus and your prayer life will become a tree rooted in the foundation of Jesus that branches out to touch the lives of others. Live each day as your last, study His word, be generous with those in need, be loyal to your time of prayer, and always keep the faith!
