YOUR GREATEST NEED
 
During these difficult times, it is easy to wonder if there is any hope for the future.  Foreclosures, lost jobs, no health insurance and many other unmet needs may leave you feeling like you have no where to turn.  The good news, there is hope, there will always be hope and you aren’t’ alone.  
 
The Bible teaches your greatest need is to be reunited with God.
 
God Loves You: “For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16)
 
You have sinned and separated yourself from God: God created you with a free will; when you chose to go against God, you have sinned, and separate yourself from God. “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 6:23)
 
God, through Jesus Christ, has provided the only way for you to be reunited with Him: “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
 
Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’ (John 14:6)
 
You must repent (turn from sin to God) and receive Christ as your Savior and Lord: Jesus said, “I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” (Luke 13:3)
 
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believed in His name.” (John 1:12)
 
You receive Christ as your Savior and Lord by personal invitation: Jesus said, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will go in and eat with him, and he with me.” (Rev. 3:20)
 
Will you receive Him now and be reunited with God?
 
It is easy to be reunited with God and find the hope that only a relationship with Him brings.  If you would like to talk to someone we are ready and willing to listen and answer your questions.
