Who was Jesus?

Why do we so often forget what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross?  Paul reminded the people of Rome in his Roman letter:  (Romans 16:20)

 

Here is a reminder:

• He was a real person who lived over 2,000 years ago.
• He was fully God and fully man. 
• God sent His only son to die for us so we wouldn't have to suffer hell.  All we have to do is ask.
• Jesus lived a perfect & sinless life for us.  (2 Corinthians 5:21)
• Jesus spent His entire ministry teaching us the right way to live.
• Jesus went to the cross and suffered a horrible death, while praying for His father to forgive those who were killing Him.
• Jesus went to hell and suffered for us.
• On the third day the Holy Spirit raised Him from the dead and Jesus conquered death once and for all.

We have eternal hope in a living God who paid the price for us.  We are bought free and clear.


If this story doesn't sound familiar to you and you haven't asked Jesus to save you from your sin, it's pretty simple:

1. Admit to God out loud that you are a sinner.
2. Admit to God out loud that you can't do life anymore on your own.
3. Believe on faith that Jesus died for your sins and rose again from the dead on your behalf.
4. Ask Jesus to be your King and to save you from your sins.
5. Tell someone that you have given your life to Jesus Christ.  Make it public!

It really is that simple!  If you have asked Jesus into your life, please send me and email or leave me a comment.  I would love to hear that from you!
