“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
Romans 5:8-9(KJV)
In many religions, they depend on their own works and their own suffering for salvation. Some even believe that they can only be saved by laying down their own lives, but it is not so in Christianity.
As Christians you don't need to die for your sins someone already died for your sins. Its only Christianity that lets you know that God wants you, inspite of all your secret flaws that only you know. He still wants you because He can change you.
It is important for you to also know that before you were born He knew you. He knew your parents, He knew the school you were going to attend and all the mistakes you were going to make, He knew everything. Yet He sent His Son to die for you before you were born. Jesus already died for your sins before you sinned, that's to show you how much he wanted you.
Get to know how much God loves you. in Jeremiah 31:3 the Bible says, “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
God has redeemed you. A price have been paid for you. All you need to do is to respond to the cross and to the blood of Jesus by being born again.
To receive Christ into your heart, please pray the prayer of salvation on page 67.
