The Eternal Life Journey
Do you have an interest in heaven?
Spiritual salvation is necessary to get there but the terrific news is that salvation is a free gift from God that anyone can receive.He loves to give it to people.
Would you like to know about the gift?
Ok. The gift has three parts: Forgiveness, Adoption and God’s Spirit.
Every person does things wrong sometime. That creates a problem between God and us because God is completely moral.
So God can’t ignore the bad things we do or just pretend they didn’t happen.
In fact, God is so completely just He needs to judge every single sin we commit.
Fortunately for us though, God is not only just, He is also extremely loving.
Because God loves us so much, He made a way to not only judge our sins but also,most importantly, a way to grant us total forgiveness. That way is His Son Jesus.
Jesus stepped out of heaven and He then came to earth for one reason.
He came to die on the cross and take the punishment that you and I deserve for our sins.
So, anyone who receives God's gift of forgiveness can at a single moment in time be forgiven for all of their sins.
And this is totally cool,when we receive God's gift of forgiveness we also are adopted into God’s family.
Finally once we give up our major sins and fill our lives with obedience and our minds with faith, God will send His Spirit to live with us.That's how He gets into a close personal relationship with us.Much better than human relationships!
Jesus called the Holy Spirit the helper because the Holy Spirit teaches us about God and shows us how to live in a way that makes God love us and want to live with us.
The way you get into a personal relationship with God is by asking Him to give you all these things for your life.100% guaranteed to make it much better!
How cool is this: 1.Forgiveness for all your sins.2. Adoption into God's family.3.Getting into an amazing loving personal relationship with His Holy Spirit which will make your life so much better.
So you just have to decide if this is something you'd like for your own life?
I'll help you by typing out a short prayer to get all of these things.

Lord Jesus Christ, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life.
But I believe You died and rose from the grave to take the rap for me and with your love and forgiveness purchase a place in heaven for me.
Lord Jesus,I want to ask you to come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me for eternity.
I sincerely ask forgiveness for my sins and I now place my trust in you for my salvation.
Savior I want to accept your free gift of eternal life now.
Please in your mercy save me Lord and fill me with your Holy Spirit.
I am now ready for you Lord.Take me and make me able to serve you and to live my life for you and to become ever more pleasing to God.
I now am yours Jesus.Take my being and make me part of God's family.
Through your Holy Spirit help me to love God with my whole heart.
Thank you for this Jesus.Thank you for bringing your peace and love to me.
Now take me to your cross Jesus.I want to worship and serve you forever.
Thank for becoming my Savior.I love you so much Lord."
