American Family Association ... Thx Paul C!

This is the greatest news ever shared! Sunday, April 1, 2018 Dear Paul, Resurrection Sunday is a time to Rejoice! Jesus paid a debt for us that no one else could ever pay so that we could have a meaningful and abundant life now and also be in heaven with Him for eternity. God gave the perfect sacrifice, His only Son, so that anyone could be forgiven and saved from their sin if they repent of their sin and believe in Him. To be saved, you must believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sin, and receive Him as your personal Savior and Lord. If you believe Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins, you will also need to admit you are a sinner – as we all are. Romans 3:23 KJV says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” If you have never confessed your sin and belief in Christ, take time to do it right now. Jesus is the only way to be saved from your sins and receive eternal life. After Jesus died on the cross, he was buried in a tomb, but on the third day, he rose from the dead. This is the Good News that Christians celebrate: His Resurrection! He is ALIVE! And one day our Savior will return. He, and only He, sets us free from our sins! “Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me’” John 14:6 KJV. Watch this short video Jesus: The Life-Changer. The birth of Jesus is wonderful, but the resurrection is even more exciting. Jesus accomplished what he came for. Jesus’ last words before dying on the cross were documented in John 19:30 as, “It is finished.” He knew that all was now completed and that Scripture would be fulfilled. To suggest that more needs to be done to earn your way to heaven is the same as saying Jesus died for nothing. “For by grace 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 KJV. Nails were not what held Jesus to the cross. Jesus had the power to come down from that cross, but He knew this is what had to be done for sinners to be saved. He died on the cross for you and me because of His love for us. He loved us that much! “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 KJV. If you know of someone who has not placed their faith and hope in Jesus Christ, please pass this on to them. Share the greatest gift of all with them: a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and eternal life. Also, share this with your brothers and sisters in Christ so they may use this to share with others. God commands that we share the gospel with others. We need to help one another become passionate followers of Jesus Christ.
