It really is
Good News - You can have a real bargain for nothing!
God has a bargain on free offer called Jesus. God has offered us
Jesus out of his love for us. It's one bargain that is too costly to miss.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16 (NIV)
God sent Jesus to die for us because He loves us.
Do you know that you are created in the image of God ? (Genesis 1:26)
God is love and we too have been made to love and be loved ( 1 John 1:
7-11). Notice how many cards and presents are exchanged during Christmas.
Even animals benefit from the love that we human beings love to show. You
just need to see how much money people are willing to give to charities to
appreciate how much love is locked away in our hearts.
God is love and He loves to give. God's bargain is the only
thing that can really satisfy our hearts. God's gift, Jesus, is love. When
you open your heart to Jesus you find life. Please do not confuse this
with religion or any particular church. Going to church in itself will not
give you the peace, love and life you are looking for. Only Jesus can. The
reason there is so much evil and confusion in the world today is because
people have neglected and indeed rejected the love of God that can only be
found in Jesus. Satan, who is the thief, is stealing our life by hiding
the love of God from us.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus)
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John
10:10 (NIV)
Jesus came to give us life. This is the bargain on offer and it is
absolutely free. You have got nothing to lose and everything to gain by
receiving it. Invite Jesus into your life now. Ask Him to show you that He
cares for you and died for you. Give Jesus a chance and let Him shower
your heart with His love and Life. Open the door of your heart by asking
Jesus in. He loves you so much that he will not force His way in. You need
to open the door yourself.
If you want to receive the Life of Jesus pray this prayer.
"Lord Jesus, right now I open my heart and receive your love.
Come and reveal yourself to me more and more. I thank you because your
life gives me the power to live a life pleasing to you. Thank you Jesus
because your blood washes away my sins. Amen."
If you have prayed this prayer we would love to hear from you. You
can contact us by e-mail
or by post through the London Baptist Association (address below). If you
are in London, why not go to your nearest Baptist Church - find it in the
Directory of Baptist Churches.
Once you receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour you become part of the
family of God so get in touch with the rest of the family straight away!
