“I guarantee that you can know peace with God, peace of soul, peace of mind, and joy such as you have never experienced.”
– Billy Graham
God loves you and wants you to experience peace and eternal life.
The Bible says:
“We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
-Romans 5:1
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
-John 3:16
What keeps us from having the life God planned for us?
1
God created us in His image. He gave us a will and the freedom of choice; we choose to disobey Him and go our own way. This separates us from God.
The Bible says:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
-Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
-Romans 6:23
People have tried to bridge this gap between themselves and God.
The Bible says:
“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.”
-Proverbs 14:12
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.”
-Isaiah 59:2
No bridge reaches God … except one.
2
Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between us and God.
The Bible says:
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”
-1 Timothy 2:5
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
-1 Peter 3:18
God has provided the only way back to Him. You must make a choice.
3
We must trust and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The Bible says:
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
-John 1:12
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
-Romans 10:9
Which side are you on? The side with Christ or without Him?

Here is how you can accept Christ into your life:
We suggest praying the following prayer to accept Christ as your Savior:
“Dear God,
I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness.
I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died
for my sin and that you raised Him to life.
I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord,
from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will.
I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
