Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

 He made you for a relationship with Him and for a purpose more important and precious than anything the world can offer you.

We all have made mistakes, every one of us. God calls those mistakes "sin." Sin separates us from God and keeps us from living in the freedom and love He intended. It's tragic.

Jesus loves you so much that He would literally rather die than live without you — and that's what He did. Jesus came to earth to show us what truly living is like. Then, He took our punishment on the cross so we could be free. Because of Jesus, we don't have to be separated from God any longer. That opportunity cost Jesus His life... Yet, He offers it to us for free.

We can hold on to our old life, or we can surrender completely to Jesus and let Him change us from the inside out. We can give Jesus our lives, receive His forgiveness, and be given a brand-new start with God.

 God already reached out in love when we had nothing to offer Him. He wants you just as you are. Don't try to clean up your life before you come to God. He will help you if you let Him.

 "Jesus, I know I’ve sinned, and I can’t fix myself. Thank You for loving me enough to die for me. I surrender my life to You. Please forgive me, make me new, and help me follow You from today forward. Amen."

 Choose to forgive anyone who has hurt you, just as God has forgiven you. Release them into His hands, then ask the Holy Spirit to fill you. He is ready to give you strength, peace, direction...and the power to walk in God’s love every day.

Congratulations! Your forever is changed: you have a home in heaven and a brand-new today with Him.
