When you see a virus warning pop up on your computer, what is your initial reaction? Panic? Shock? A sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach? Fear that someone or something has invaded your computer? I would venture a guess that the primary goal would be to contact an expert to get rid of the nasty virus that has invaded your computer.
When we are sick, injured, or God forbid, diagnosed with a horrific disease, our immediate response is to find a solution; a way to fix the problem we’re facing.
Whether it be an electronic virus or a medical condition, both can have serious consequences. In most cases, fortunately, a remedy is available.
But there is also a destructive condition known as “sin” in which there is only one solution. His name is Jesus! Jesus said in John 14:6 that “He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him.”
The bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” We were all born into this world with something likened to that of a spiritual computer virus – SIN.
The good news is that the bible also says that “If we confess our sins, He (God) is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:19
God loved you so much that He gave his only begotten son to set you free from your sin and make you brand new creation in Christ. John 3:16
The bible also says “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you. Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NLT)
Friend, please don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
If you’re tired of trying to fill the empty hole inside you, the hole that only God can fill, then make the decision today to make Jesus Lord of your life.
It’s really quite simple, and here’s what you need to do:
1) Admit you are a sinner.
2) Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
3) Believe that Jesus Christ died for you; was buried; and rose again from the dead.
4) Invite Jesus into your heart as your personal Savior and make Him Lord of your life.
You can pray this simple prayer:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for me that I may live. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart as my personal Savior.
If you trusted Jesus as your Savior and prayed this prayer with sincerity in your heart, you are saved and have just begun a wonderful new life with him!!
Now:
- Read your bible every day to get to know Jesus Christ better. Start with the book of 1 John.
- Talk to God in prayer every day.
- Worship, fellowship and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.
- Tell others about Jesus Christ.
