God's Love Calls for a Response
When my Christian friend
showed me that God, who created the universe, gave His Son Jesus
to pay for my sins, I realized that only Jesus could give me
eternal life.
How could I continue in my
sin? It was sin that put Jesus on the cross. I asked myself,
"What can I do?" The Bible book of Romans had the answer
in chapter 2, verse 4 (NKJV). It says, "The goodness of
God leads you to repentance." I saw that I could repent.
 To "repent" means to turn away from my sins
and turn to Jesus Christ. I saw that if I would turn away from
my sins and trust Jesus, God would forgive me and save me. And
that is exactly what I did. After all, sin's pleasures were temporary
and end in sorrow.
So I responded to God. I repented. I turned to Jesus, and I have
never been sorry that I did, not even for a minute. And that
is the only wise step for anyone to take: to repent of doing
wrong. Then I invited Christ to come into my life and take control.
He came into my life through His Holy Spirit.
Do you also realize that to
experience God's love, you must repent, or turn away from your
sins and ask for His forgiveness? Please check "yes"
or "no".
If not, what do you believe
you should do about your sins? Please write on the lines below
how you will respond to God.
