A HAPPY AND MEANINGFUL LIFE

Most people want a happy and meaningful life.  The Bible teaches that this life begins with God.  Jesus said,  "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).  Jesus also said, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10).   Augustine observed, "Thou hast made us for Thyself, O God, and the heart of man is restless until it finds its rest in Thee."  Unfortunately, man's sin has separated him from God, and he needs God's forgiveness.  The Bible says,  "All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6).

God loves you very much!  He sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to take away your sin.  The Bible says, "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"  (Romans 5:8).  God is satisfied with what Jesus has done.  Now He is free to forgive you and to offer you a happy and meaningful life with Him.

However, you have one responsibility.  You must turn to God by trusting Jesus Christ to forgive your sins.  Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through  Me" (John 14:6).  "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31).  Trust Jesus to forgive your sins and bring you into a right relationship with God.

This prayer may help you make that commitment:

Dear Father, I admit that I am a sinner.  I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me.  Thank you for forgiving my sins.  Let me start a new and meaningful life with You today.  Amen
