Inspirational Thought
GOSPEL - The Good News and message of salvation is that Jesus has come through woman and laid down His own life on a cross where he bore the sins of all mankind. He was resurrected and ascended into heaven, from which He is coming back for all who are saved. In Old Testament times, the sheep would die for the shepherd. However, in the Gospel, the Shepherd died for the sheep. (IS. 53:7; Acts 8:32). Anyone who confesses with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in his heart that God raised Him from the dead will be saved (Romans 10:9). If you have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, don't wait! Tomorrow is not promised. Make Jesus your choice today!
Sinner's Prayer
Heavenly Father, I have sinned against you. I want forgiveness for all my sins. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and my Savior who died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give you my life to do with as you wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. This I ask in Jesus's name. Amen.
