God has a plan to reach mankind and to relate to
us, a plan He initiated.
"For God so loved the world that He
gave His only Son, that whoever would believe in Him, would have eternal
life." John 3:16
Jesus Christ claimed to be God
come down to us in the flesh
communicating God's love to us.
"I and the Father are one." John
10:30
If Jesus is God, then
of course He has the every right to
claim that He is the only way to Himself.
"I am the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father, but through me." John 14:6
No one can reach God
independently by their own plan in their own self-effort.
"There is none who does good, not even
one." Romans 3:12
Jesus is better anyway, because He offers
eternal life as a free gift (cannot be earned by adopting a new code of ethics
or meeting religious standards.)
"For the wages of sin is death, but
the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans
6:23
Jesus doesn't just command you to live right, He
is offers to live the Christian life from inside you.
"....... Christ in you the hope of
glory." Colossians 1:26-27
"I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly." John
10:10
Jesus isn't just another better than ever
forgiveness plan; He is the power to live a Godly life, His life, already
built into us.
"But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not of
ourselves." ll Corinthians 4:7
Jesus wants relationship: to be one Spirit with
us, as He is with the Father.
"He that is joined to the Lord, is one
Spirit with Him." l Corinthians 6:17
"That they may all be one; as thou Father, are in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us........ " John 17:21
Jesus births His new life into us, to live the
Christian life through us.
".... Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into
the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't not marvel that I said to you, 'You
must be born again'."
John 3:5-7 |

Jesus wants us to believe in Him and invite Him
in as Lord.
"Without faith it is impossible to
please God." Hebrews 11:6
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me."
Revelation 3:20
Lord Jesus, I admit that I cannot be good enough
to earn your love and acceptance. I turn from trying to manage my life in my
own efforts and choose to trust you to forgive my unbelief, based on your
death on the cross for me. I ask you to come into my life as Lord God
and live the Christian life through me, as I cannot do it separated from you.
I choose to yield to you day by day, your all
knowing, all powerful and always present wisdom is everything that I need. I
choose to know you and agree with your plans and wonderful purposes for me. I
trust that you are inside me now equipping me in every way that you want to
express your heart in me and to a needy world through me. There is nothing
more important to me than a relationship with you Jesus; you are my source.
