Thank you for taking a moment to watch this video. We want you to know that you matter to God, and today, I want to share the greatest news you will ever hear—the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” This is incredible news! But to fully understand it, we first need to acknowledge a difficult truth.
The Problem: Our Sin
The Bible says in Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Sin separates us from God and leads to brokenness, corruption, and death. Romans 6:23 tells us: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This death is more than just physical death—it is eternal separation from God.
The Solution: Jesus Christ
Here’s the good news—God didn’t leave us in our hopeless condition! Even while we were still sinners, God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue us. Romans 5:8 says: “But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life—something we could never do. He willingly took our place, dying on the cross to pay for our sins. But the story doesn’t end there! Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, defeating the power of sin and death. Because of His resurrection, He offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe in Him.
How to Receive Salvation
Salvation is a free gift, but like any gift, you must receive it. Romans 10:9 says: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” If you are ready to turn from your sin and put your trust in Jesus, you can pray a simple prayer from your heart:
A Prayer for Salvation
“Dear Jesus, I admit that I need a Savior. I know that I have sinned against a holy God. Today, I believe in You, Jesus, as my Savior—the One who died for my sins and rose again three days later. I confess You as my Lord and Savior. From this day forward, I want to follow You and live according to Your will. I receive Your gift of salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Next Steps
If you prayed that prayer, welcome to God’s family! Remember, it’s not the prayer that saves you—it’s your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and rose again.
