HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU COULD HAVE A NEW START IN LIFE?
Let's say you were physically, sexually, or verbally abused when you were a little kid, or at some other time in your life. The scars, guilt, and shame of that horrific act never seem to go away!
Or it could be a mistake, tragic divorce, some other difficult family problem, or serious crime that you did. How can one start over after something like that? Once something is done...it's done.
THE "GREATEST NEWS" IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE A NEW START IN LIFE! YOU AND I CAN BE HEALED OF THOSE HURTS IN OUR LIFE...WE CAN BE FORGIVEN...WE CAN HAVE THE GUILT AND SHAME TAKEN OUT OF OUR LIFE!
That's why the Bible has the "Greatest News" ever...
"For God so loved the world (that's you and me), that He gave (to die on the cross) His only begotten Son (that's Jesus), so that whosoever (that's me and you again) believes in Him, should not perish (in hell), but have everlasting life (in heaven)!
The Bible also says that...
"If any man (or women or child) is in Christ, he is a new creature (a brand new person on the inside), old things (that's all our past) are passed away, and behold all things (that's every part of our past life) have become new (a brand new start in life)!
How can that happen? How can you and I receive this brand new start? Is it really true?
Yes, because God loves you!
And He has a wonderful plan to undo the tragic things that have happened to you. He sent Jesus to die on a horrible cross to take the punishment, shame, and guilt that come into our lives.
Now anyone who puts their faith in Jesus can experience a "new start" in life. A life filled with God's love, joy, and overcoming power to live victoriously in this life! By the way, Jesus' death and resurrection also provided for us everlasting life in Heaven, where there will NOT be any more sorrow, suffering or death!
Want this "New Start" in life?
Pray this simple prayer, from your heart, and really mean it...
"Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you died on the cross for me, so I could be forgiven for my mistakes and sins. I ask you to come into my life, and be my Savior and Lord. Help me to live for you from this day forward. Thank you Lord for forgiving and loving me...Amen!
