What does Jesus change for me?
God initially created us into a perfect world, with perfect relationships. When sin entered the world, mankind began to choose OUR way rather than GOD’S way, and brokenness began.
Living in the dark can do funny things to a person – it turns a heart inward. You begin to wonder if there ever really was a God to begin with. Our hearts become full of pride & selfishness … fear & anxiety … anger, bitterness, revenge … and hopelessness.
The solution to the brokenness.
Most of us feel the brokenness all around us, maybe even within us. We do our best to fix it … but brokenness remains. But God loved us so much, He launched a plan to fix the brokenness. A great rescue plan to restore us, and bring us back to Him.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
The Bible tells us that “God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we ourselves had turned away from Him. God’s great rescue plan had begun.
Repent of your sin.
We can’t earn our way to God, so God announces that He is going to come to us! The Bible tells us that if we would “Repent of our sins and turn to God, our sins would be wiped away.” The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him- this is what opens up the door to freedom!
Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Saying “Jesus, be my rescuer,” marks the difference between death and life, between remaining in brokenness and stepping into wholeness. Becoming a Christian is not merely following some religion. It is inviting Christ Himself to take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in .. . ” If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
