THE
ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS
puricarefiles
Are you full of fears, doubts and uncertainties? Do you long to be free from the load of guilt, sin and shame you have been carrying? Do you have feelings of loneliness, and you feel something is missing in your life? Are you a victim of injustice and the unfairness of this world?
Do you feel you have been forsaken by God? Have you cried and cried until you cannot cry anymore when God took the persons you love? Have you failed miserably and suffered needlessly? Are you in bondage to alcohol, drugs and wrong habits?
God
created Adam and Eve without sin. When they disobeyed God, fellowship between
God and man was broken. Man fell into
sin. Since that time all men have been sinful. The whole human race was enslaved by sin and lost the full joy in life that God intended. Sin makes man tell lies, steal, envy other people, and above all, it fills him with pride.
God
hates sin. He says that if a person has
thoughts of lust towards someone, it is the same as committing adultery. If we hate a person, it is the same as if we
had already killed that person (1 John 3:15).
Sin
separates us from God.
The Bible says that sin has a definite penalty. “The
wages of sin is death” (Romans
6:23). This death means spiritual death
- eternal suffering and
separation from God.
separation from God.
“They will suffer the punishment of eternal
destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians
1:9).
Many
people try doing good works like helping the poor, joining a church, doing
penance or observing rituals to escape punishment.
While
these are good in themselves, none of these can pay for their sins. God says, “All our righteous acts are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).
“For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not of works, so that no-one can boast” (Ephesians
2:8-9).
“He saved us, not because of righteous things
we have done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of
rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5).
God
will not accept any good work performed by man as payment for sin. It is only
what His son, Jesus, did on the cross that pleases God. Jesus Christ took our
sins upon Himself, suffered for us, and died for us, paying the price of death
that was demanded.
God
accepted what Jesus did so that we may go free and have eternal life. Jesus
said in John 10:10: “I am come that they
may have life and have it more abundantly.”
All
your works and good intentions cannot cleanse you from sin. There is only one
way your life can be cleansed, and that is by having the blood of Jesus applied
to your heart. You need to accept that you are a sinner and you cannot save
your soul by your own efforts.
Accept Jesus as your personal
Savior, Master and Lord. Come to God
now with all your heart and entrust your entire life to Him. He will forgive
you, and give you complete freedom from all the loads you have been carrying. You
will become a child of God and a new creation in Christ . . . and have eternal
life (1 John 5:13).
The Lord is near you this very
moment.
Pray this prayer:
“Father
God, I admit I am a sinner. I confess
all my sins to You right now. Please forgive me. I believe Your son, Jesus,
died for me.
I
now receive Him into my life as my Savior, Master and Lord. I believe that the
precious blood of Jesus has cleansed me of all my sins.
Please
write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Thank you for making me as one of
your children. I praise You for loving
and saving me. I want to receive all that Jesus Christ has provided for me as
my Savior.
Lord
Jesus, I pray and ask You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I
thank you that you have given me eternal life.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the
gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. Thank you that Your Word says I am
born again.
I surrender my life to you. Use me for your
glory.
In Jesus Name. Amen.

“My
Life Is Yours to Control”
Rodney and Jimmelynn Rice
lyrics
With my whole heart I
humbly seek you;
Now use my life, O Lord,
I pray.
I yield my stubborn will
completely;
May your commandments
light my way.
{Chorus}
My life, Lord, is yours
to control;
I give You my heart and
my soul.
I'll seek Your will,
never mine,
Rich treasure to find.
Give wisdom to choices I
make,
Along ev'ry path that I
take.
So when I complete life's
race,
"Well done",
You will say.
Your Word has promised me
the vict'ry,
And all I need to do is
claim
Your strength to soar
with wings as eagles,
To walk, to run, and not
to faint.
