For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Ephesians 2:8
Christ’s Invitation To You
What is the most important thing in the world to God?
You might be saying to yourself, ‘How could anyone know the answer to that question?’ Yet we can clearly know the answer to this question through the way God showed His love for us.
Jesus told His disciples in the Gospel of John, chapter 15 verse 13; “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for a friend”.
"Who would do that?" you might say. God would and He did. The Bible tells us in Romans, chapter 5 verse 8; “But God demonstrated His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Why did He have to die? The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. This means we cannot approach a holy God with our sin because it separates us from Him. This is why Jesus died for our sins; because it is impossible for sinful man to pay the debt for his own sin.
Jesus loves us so much that He shed His blood on the cross in order to give us an opportunity to know Him and to live in a loving relationship with Him. Jesus paid the debt for our sin that we are unable pay!
So what is the most important thing to God? The answer is YOU. God has proven His love towards you! This is a love beyond compare!
The Bible speaks a lot about God’s love for us. In the Gospel of John, chapter 3 verse 16 we read; “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life”
Now the question is, what is the most important thing in the world to you? Do you want to know God in a personal way? Do you want to experience His love?
How can you know His love? Again the Bible tells us in Romans chapter 10 verse 9, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”.
Would you like to make a decision to accept the forgiveness God has offered you? The Bible gives clear direction about how to proceed:
A. Turn from your sins and ask God to forgive you for all of your wrongs against Him and accept His forgiveness. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9)
B. Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that which Jesus has done is for you. ". . . if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9) You are now a child of God!
The following steps are to help you better follow him.
1. Read the Bible and pray that God would teach you how to follow Him.
2. Find a church that loves Jesus and teaches the Bible, and attend it regularly.
3. Tell others about what Jesus has done for you and let them know that Jesus loves them, too!
4. LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND AND STRENGTH!!! The most important thing in the world to God is you…and you were created to know Him. You can search the world over, but you will never find true satisfaction in anything else but God!
