Thank you for visiting this page and allowing me this opportunity to introduce
  you  to the Lord Jesus Christ. 
God the Father loves you and send His Son
  Jesus to die for you and give you life.

  John 3:16-18 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so
  that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.  
  (17)  God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent
  him so that the world might have salvation through him.  (18)  The man who has
  faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has
  been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of
  God. (1965 Bible in Basic English)

 
You may ask ;  “Why did Jesus have to die for me?”  The answer  is
  simple: 


  God is holy and without sin, perfect in every way and you are not.  For God the  
  Father to know you, live in you and for you to be like Him, you had to be
  delivered from sin and death. Jesus  came to the earth to live as a man and die
  on the cross, to pay the price for your salvation. He was God living in man and
  that for you!

  2 Corinthians 5:21
Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so that
  Christ could make us acceptable to God. (Contemporary English Version of the
  Bible)

  Ephesians 2:4-13  But God was merciful! We were dead because of our sins,
  but God loved us so much that he made us alive with Christ, and God's
  wonderful kindness is what saves you.  (5)  (SEE 2:4)  (6)  God raised us from
  death to life with Christ Jesus, and he has given us a place beside Christ in
  heaven.  (7)  God did this so that in the future world he could show how truly 
  good and kind he is to us because of what Christ Jesus has done.  (8)  You
  were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is
  God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own.  (9)  It isn't
  something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about.  (10)  God
  planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live.
  That's why he sent Christ to make us what we are.  (11)  Don't forget that you
  are Gentiles. In fact, you used to be called "uncircumcised" by those who take
  pride in being circumcised. (12)  At that time you did not know about Christ. You
  were foreigners to the people of  Israel, and you had no part in the promises that
  God had made to them. You were living in this world without hope and without
  God,  (13)  and you were far from God. But Christ offered his life's blood as a
  sacrifice and brought you near God. (Contemporary English Version of the Bible)

  Jesus died a horrible death on the cross, taking your sin and all the effects of
  sin;  i.e. sickness, disease and death upon Him and paid the full price for you to
  be forgiven and to be made as if you never sinned, so that you can live and not
  die. This He did while you were still a sinner and now He offers you  the free gift
  of salvation.
 
 
 
You may ask the question:; “If Jesus died on the cross, how then can I
  receive life from Him?”

  Jesus died and after three days the Father raised Him from the dead by, the
  power of the Holy Spirit.  The same way you who are dead to God can be raised
  from the dead and share His life by the power of the Holy Spirit.

  Romans 4:25 God gave Jesus to die for our sins, and he raised him to life, so
  that we would be made acceptable to God. (Contemporary English Version of
  the Bible)

 
Now you are intrigued, but want to know “Is this for me also, am I
  included in this great sacrifice?”  The answer is YES!    
                                                                                                

  John 3:16-18 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so
  that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.                                                                                                
  (1965 Bible in Basic English)


 
  It is for you and Jesus had you in mind when He paid the price.  You can
  receive this free gift of life, which includes forgiveness of sin, freedom from death
  and peace with Almighty God.

  Just do what the Bible says:

  Romans 10:8-13  But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth
  and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:  (9)
  Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your
  heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation: 
  (10)  For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth
  he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.  (11)  Because it is said in the holy
  Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.  (12)  And the Jew is not
  different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who
  have hope in his name:  (13)  Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of
  the Lord will get salvation. (1965 Bible in Basic English)

 
Right now speak to God, tell Him that you believe that  Jesus is Lord, that
  He died for your sin and was raised from the dead and lives.  Ask for
  forgiveness and the gift of life through Jesus Christ. Thank  God that you
  have been saved and are now His child, a member of His household.

 
You are now born again and your sins are forgiven.

  Hebrews 10:12-20  But Christ offered himself as a sacrifice that is good forever.
  Now he is sitting at God's right side,  (13)  and he will stay there until his
  enemies are put under his power.  (14)  By his one sacrifice he has forever set
  free from sin the people he brings to God.  (15)  The Holy Spirit also speaks of
  this by telling us that the Lord said,  (16)  "When the time comes, I will make an
  agreement with them. I will write my laws on their minds and hearts.  (17)  Then I
  will forget about their sins and no longer remember their evil deeds."  (18)  When
  sins are forgiven, there is no more need to offer sacrifices.  (19)  My friends, the
  blood of Jesus gives us courage to enter the most holy place  (20)  by a new way
  that leads to life! And this way takes us through the curtain that is Christ himself.
  (Contemporary English Version of the Bible)

  You are now a child of God and He is your Father.

  Romans 8:15-16 For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in  
  fear,   but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father. 
  (16)  The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:(1965 Bible
  in Basic English)
