Getting Right with God

Jesus said, "Come to Me, all who are weary and 

heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and 

My burden is light,”  Matthew 11:28-30

The question only you can answer: Will you put your faith in Jesus? 


That is the most important question that you could ever be asked. And only you can answer it. Your answer is the most important answer you will ever give. This isn’t about being religious. It’s about a relationship. You need to establish your relationship with God by putting your faith in Jesus ... by believing in Him. Being religious isn’t enough. You may love God, pray to Him, go to His house, and give gifts of your time and money to Him. All of that is good ... but it isn’t enough. I remember the time before I married my wife. I knew a lot about her. I loved her very much. I talked to her almost every day. I went to her house whenever I could. I read her letters. And I gave gifts to her. However, none of those things made me married. I wasn’t married until I made my covenant with her. I had believed about her ... but that wasn’t enough. On our wedding day, I took a step of faith when I said, “I do”. I wasn’t married until that moment. That day I changed from believing about her to believing in her. It is the same in your relationship with God. You aren’t in a true relationship with God until you make your covenant with Him ... until you say, “I do” to Him. You do that by believing in Jesus. Have you put your faith in Jesus? You need to be sure about this. If that step of faith is missing in your life, today would be a good day for you to say, “I do” to Him. You really need to settle this once and for all.


The choice is yours. Will you put your faith in Jesus right now? Will you take that step of faith by believing in Him? No one can decide for you. No one can take that step for you. If you are ready to believe in Him, it is easy to do. God loves you. However, your sin separates you from Him. He is perfect ... and you are imperfect. The wrong things that you have done keep you from Him. That is your problem ... separation from God. The good news is that He has done something about that separation. He loved you and sent Jesus to solve the problem. Jesus, being God, died on the cross to pay for your sins. That is God’s part of the solution. Your part of the solution requires a step of faith ... a point-in-time believing in Jesus. At the moment that you believe in Jesus, you become God’s child ... your sins are forgiven … and you are given the gift of eternal life.
