God's Only Provision

Jesus Christ is God's only provision for your sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.


Who is Jesus Christ? Why does He have the power to bridge this gap between a holy God and sinful people?


Jesus' miraculous birth, His life, His miracles, His words, His death on the cross, His resurrection, His ascension into heaven – all demonstrate He was no mere man. Jesus is God.


You must receive Jesus Christ as God, as your Savior and as your Lord. By doing this you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life. You receive Christ through faith, by personally inviting Him into your life.


Paul said, "It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast." And Jesus said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him, and he with me."


Receiving Christ begins by turning away from yourself, repenting of your sins, and turning to God. It involves trusting Christ to come into your life, to forgive your sin, and to make you the person He wants you to be. Receiving Christ means committing yourself to Him, giving yourself wholly to Him in a commitment of your intellect, emotions and will.


Your life may be pictured in one of two ways: a self-directed life where you control your interests always resulting in discord and frustration. Or a Christ-directed life, where you are yielding to Christ, your interests are controlled by Him, resulting in harmony with God's plan for your life.


Our lives parallel that of a caterpillar crawling in the dust – an ugly, hairy worm. One day this worm weaves a cocoon about its body. From this cocoon emerges a beautiful butterfly. We do not understand fully what has taken place. We realize only that, where once a worm crawled in the dust, now a butterfly soars in the air.


Where once we lived on the lowest level as sinful, self centered individuals, now as we trust and obey God, we dwell on the highest plane, experiencing full and abundant lives as children of God. This begins by receiving Christ into your life as your Savior and Lord.
