God’s Plan – For Everyone
There is nothing more wonderful than having peace with God.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
God loves you and wants you to have peace and eternal life. Do you have it?
Man’s Problem – Separation
God made man in His own image. He did not make him a robot to automatically love and obey Him, but gave him a will and freedom of choice.
Man disobeyed God and went his own way. This SEPARATED man from God… NO PEACE!
Man’s Remedy – Failure
Man has tried to bridge this gap in many ways, but without success.
“All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “The wages of sin is death (separation from God); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
“For by grace (His kindness) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9). God has provided the only remedy for this problem. You must choose either to accept or reject that remedy.
NO GOD - NO PEACE
God’s Remedy – The Cross
The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY answer to this problem. When He died on the cross, He paid the penalty for sin and bridged the gap between God and man.
God is on one side and men and women on the other; and the Lord Jesus Christ has made peace between them.
“There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2:5,6).
Man’s Response – Receive Christ
To know peace with God we must trust the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him by personally accepting Him as our Saviour. Is there any good reason why you cannot receive Him right now? He says, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).
What must I do to be saved?
- Admit I am a sinner
- Repent and turn from sin
- Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me
- Receive Him as Saviour and Lord
- Thank Him for saving me and giving me everlasting life.
God’s Assurance – His Word
The Word of God gives definite assurance of salvation to all those who trust the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
“God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11,12).
KNOW GOD - KNOW PEACE
