Have You Been Born-Again?

You think you are a good person? You haven’t murdered or committed any major crimes, right? Being a good person is not enough! If you do not want to suffer God’s wrath and separation in hell, you must be born-again.

In the beginning when God created Adam and Eve, God commanded man they can eat of every tree of the garden. But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man shall not eat of it. He said that when they eat of this tree they will surely die (Genesis 2:16-17). Since man’s disobedience, sin entered the world. This sin was what separated man from God. No matter how good we try to be, we cannot meet God’s standard He has set. We can give to the poor, feed the hungry, read the Bible, go to church every Sunday, but these acts do not make us right with God. Trying to be the best you can be apart from being born-again will lead to a life full of failed frustrations and ultimately separated from God in hell.

However, there is great news! There is this Man that came to earth about 2,000 years ago. His name is Jesus. He came fully as a man and as God. He came to die for our sin. The same sin that is going to separate us from God for eternity. The only thing that will atone for our sin is a perfect sacrifice, or else we die in our sins to be punished through out eternity in hell. Jesus is that perfect sacrifice, He gave His life for YOU! That’s right, you! Jesus died, was buried, and resurrected the third day. The way for you to be born-again is to believe that Jesus died and rose again for you, but only do so once you are convinced you are a sinner and separated from God and need a Savior. Some say, that is just too easy. My friend, it is a heart matter, and if you are convinced you are a sinner and have called out (believed) to Jesus for salvation, Jesus says, ”All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in NO-WISE cast out”(John 6:37). Call on Jesus now, for today is the day of salvation!
