Before you decide if you want to give your life to Christ or not, I want to share the Gospel or the Good News of Jesus Christ with you.
The Gospel
The Most High made Adam in His image and for His pleasure. His soul loved what He created; but, to test and see if His creation loved Him back, He gave Adam a commandment. The commandment was Adam could eat from any tree, except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The Most High told Him the day Man ate from that tree would be the day they would surely die. Through the deception of the serpent, Eve took a bite from the fruit of the forbidden tree and gave some to Adam and he did eat. Therefore, sinning (or disobeying the commandant of The Most High) and receiving the wage of sin–death, just as The Most High commanded.
After this act of disobedience, Man would now experience death both physically and eternally. Since Man transgressed and disobeyed the commandments of The Most High, death entered them and would pass on from generations to generations(iniquity)–including you and I because Adam is the FATHER of Mankind. Adam’s sin separated Him from His Creator. Therefore, separating us from The Most High because we were born into sin.
Moreover, when Adam sinned, he also yielded his rulership to the one he submitted to–Satan. Now, this prince of the power of the air has the luxury to operate through the children of disobedience (you). He influences Man to commit all types of wickedness because they have received the knowledge of both GOOD and EVIL from the garden of Eden, so now they have the privilege with their freewill to do both GOOD and EVIL. He desires them to do evil, so they'll be condemned like him.
Man has fallen from the perfection of The Most High; however, He had a back-up plan already in place. He knew Man would fall, but The Most High honors free will because it is through freewill you can determine if someone loves you or not. His back up plan was to come in the form of Man and become the second Adam (the righteous man Adam was supposed to be). We call this form of Man, Jesus Christ, the Anointed Savior (Jesus Christ’s name broken down) or The I AM Savior.
The I AM’s mission was to come to earth and live a righteous and perfect life His future sons could imitate and to shed His blood for them, so they could be redeemed and renewed. Jesus Christ’s blood was shed for the remission of your sins and mine, so we could no longer experience eternal death because of our sin, but eternal life because of His sacrifice.
In order to receive this eternal life; to become a son of God; and a royal priest, you must acknowledge and believe Jesus Christ or The I AM is the one and only Person to save you; that He died and rose again for your salvation and victory over death; and confess your sins to Him with a broken and contrite heart. Once you do this, He will be faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you; to receive you as His son (His Spirit will go forth into your heart crying, “Abba, Father.”, signifying this sonship.); and you will be regenerated and renewed by the power of The Holy Spirit.
Thus, becoming a new creation in Christ Jesus.
The Good News of Jesus Christ is that you no longer have to perish in your sins to eternal damnation, but through Him, you can receive eternal salvation and live on with Him in the new earth and heaven that will soon come as Revelation 21:1-8 declares,
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
This is The Good News of The Most High.
