GOD loves you!!! and came to live with us in the person JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS lived as an example of how GOD wants us to live.
JESUS died so that we could receive forgiveness and freedom from guilt
over the wrong way we have lived.
JESUS rose from the dead so that those who are willing to obey JESUS
will live forever with GOD in heaven.
You must accept eternal life as a gift, and admit you could never be
religious enough or good enough to get to heaven apart from GOD's
mercy and kindness.
GOD, in the person of the HOLY SPIRIT, will come and live inside
everyone who yields to GOD and receives eternal life as a gift. The
HOLY SPIRIT brings us supernatural power and desire to do what pleases
GOD.

A prayer:
ALMIGHTY GOD, I acknowledge I am to obey the LORD JESUS. I know I have not lived the way YOU want. I know I deserve eternal punishment, but I believe YOU let JESUS die for me, so I could live forever with YOU. Please let the blood which JESUS poured out in dying cleanse me from guilt and wrong. Please send Your HOLY SPIRIT to live in me and help me to do what is right. Amen
