Dear reader, there is a Book in Heaven for a special person like you. It is a Book in which God’s angels write about you. This book is called the Book of Life. It is a Book for your name.
How to Get Your Name In This Book.
First, God is merciful and loving. He designed you to know Him and to give Him glory. In fact, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve failed to fulfill this great purpose and instead became slaves to Satan. But God has made a plan for your redemption. He has provided a Savior who can lead you to freedom from sin and restore your relationship with God.
Furthermore, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to fulfill this mission. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life in total obedience to God. He willingly took upon Himself the fury of His Father’s anger against our sin; He suffered and died in your place.
After Jesus died and was buried, God raised him from the dead, thus proclaiming Jesus’ divinity and validating his sacrifice on our behalf.
Moreover, this is what the Word of God says in Acts 16:31
Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.
When you believe in Jesus Christ and accept God’s gift of salvation, you are justified (declared free from the guilt and penalty of sin) before God because of what Jesus has done.
Most important, God forgives you of all your sins. Your relationship with God is restored; you become His child. Additionally, you are redeemed from the slavery of sin. Also, your name will be written in the Book of Life and you will spend eternity in heaven with God.
Say this prayer of salvation now:
Father, I know I have broken Your laws and that my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn from my past life of sin to be with You. Please forgive me and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins, rose from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. Now I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You and do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
