New to the world

Many people today are searching for something meaningful in their lives. Some turn to riches, some to fame, others to sex, drugs and alcohol, but nothing seems to fill that deep void in their being. The truth is, it will never be filled. Not if you're misguided in your search that is. True wisdom and true life, true joy and peace and also love is found in the presence of GOD and by getting to know Him as revealed through Jesus Christ. True satisfaction and true purpose and meaning    A relationship with Christ brings both belonging and security. Which is what most people are searching for: something or Someone stable which will never fail, fall or give way. A lighthouse in the storm, a flow of abundance in pressure or famine. Something to cling onto when the tide is high and the waters roll in. A Rock. If you are searching for peace, for hope, then look no further than Christ Himself. Who loved this world (I mean all the people in it) that He laid down His life and died on the cross for you and for me. In other words we are able to draw near to GOD through the precious blood of Christ that was shed for you and for me. It's flow is the cleansing from sin and GOD's free offer of salvation still stands. The invitation to receive forgiveness of sins and be welcomed as a part of GOD's family. The debt has been paid (the debt that we owe). Jesus died to provide salvation. All we must do is place our trust in Him. A hope so firm, so secure, who would dare turn it down? GOD bless you, all who are reading this. Make the right decision. Choose to be free from your burden of sin. Only GOD can forgive and justify and we cannot earn salvation.

"That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:7-10

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6)

Psalm 103:10 "He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities."

To the world the idea that you can receive something so wonderful, a precious and priceless gift that cannot be earned or attained through effort is mind-blowing. But what does the Bible say:-

That if you confess 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)


Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
