How You Can Have

Consider what a once religious, hater of Jesus Christ said after he found new life.
Paul said, “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”
I Corinthians 15:3-4

Why did Jesus Christ have to die for sins? Because we all sin and sin has a steep price – death.
Romans 6:23 says “for the wages of sin is death.”

You and I have no way to pay for our sins. Being good, doing good, saying prayers, giving – none of this can pay for sin. We needed someone to take our place to pay for sin.  Jesus died in my place.
Romans 5:8 says “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

No other self-proclaimed deity or prophet has ever done this –  Jesus Christ alone has risen from the dead. A historical fact witnessed by over 500 people and a narrative repeated faithfully for nearly 2,000 years. Jesus is God and worthy of praise and acceptance as our only Savior.

Paul shared what he first chose to accept – Jesus is the Savior I need. You can have new life, just like Paul, if you will see your need (a sinner deserving God’s punishment) and call out to your only remedy – Jesus Christ, God’s perfect substitute. The Bible says: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.”

My friend, if you have accepted Christ as your only Savior – telling the world is your calling! Tell someone today what you have received – New Life in Christ – it is needed by all!
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
