SEARCH OF THE TRUTH!
--Answers to Many of Life's Most
Meaningful Questions! "What is life all about?--What
am I here for?
Is there a purpose, a plan for me?--And if so, what is
it?"

What
then can I do to be saved?--Must I resign myself to
remaining forever separated from God?
God is so great, so high, so almighty, so beyond our
limited human understanding and comprehension, that it is
impossible for us to fully understand or grasp Him or His
ways. He says, "As the Heavens are high above the
Earth, so high are My ways above your ways, and My
thoughts than your thoughts!"--Isaiah 55:9. But He
so much wanted to help us and to become our close Friend
that He sent Somebody Who could show us His Love,
Somebody Who could live with us as a man, Who could
embody and show us what God Himself is like.
God loves us so much, He doesn't want us to have to
suffer separation from Him. When we're without God's
Love, our hearts can never be truly satisfied, and we
will remain spiritually empty and lifeless. So to bring
us His Everlasting Life and Salvation, He sent His Own
Son, Jesus, to Earth almost 2,000 years ago.
Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Spirit of God and
born to a young virgin girl named Mary. He grew up to
become, in a sense, a picture of His Father, so we could
see what the great invisible Creator is like.--And that
picture is a picture of love, for all Jesus did was go
about everywhere doing good, helping others and teaching
about God's great Love for us all.
Finally, Jesus completed His task of proclaiming the Good
News of Salvation to the World, and He gave His life, and
was cruelly crucified by His cruel and self-righteous
religious enemies. Then three days after His lifeless
body was laid to rest in the grave, Jesus arose from the
dead, conquering death and Hell forever!
The Bible tells us, "God so loved the World (you and
me) that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that
whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have
Everlasting Life."--John 3:16. All you have to do
now to come into a full and living personal relationship
with the God of Love is to simply believe on Jesus and
accept His free gift of Eternal Life!
Jesus said, "Greater love has no man than this, that
a man lay down his life for his friends."--John
15:13. He was the Friend who laid down His life for you,
so that you would not have to suffer being separated from
the God of Love Who loves you so!
If you would like to personally know God's great Love,
find the Solution to all of your troubles and problems,
and be forgiven for all the wrongs that you have ever
done, all you have to do is believe on and receive His
Son, Jesus, into your heart. Jesus said,
"Come unto Me, all you who labour and are heavily
burdened, and I will give you rest... For I am the Way,
the Truth and the Life! No man comes unto the Father but
by Me!"--Matthew 11:28; John 14:6.
Although it may sound so simple or even childlike to you,
this is the Plan by which the great Creator of the
Universe has chosen to reveal and bring His Love, Truth
and Salvation to you and me! He made it so simple that
anybody can receive His Love.--A young child or an
elderly grandparent, a poor peasant or a rich tycoon, an
illiterate tribesman or an intellectual scientist, an
Easterner, Westerner, Northerner or
Southerner!--Anybody!--Including you!
In fact, receiving Jesus is so simple that He said,
"Unless you humble yourself and become as a little
child, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven!"--Mark 10:15. Will you humble yourself and
receive God's Love, joy, peace of mind, contentment of
heart and Eternal Life through Jesus as a free Gift to
you, His child?
Jesus loves you and will give you this wonderful gift
right now if you will simply and sincerely pray this
little prayer and ask Him to personally come into your
heart:
"Dear Jesus, I know that I need help and that I
can't save myself. I have heard that You are the Son of
God, and that through You I can personally find and know
the God of Love. Jesus, I need Your Love to cleanse me
from all fear and hate. I need Your Light to drive away
all darkness. And I need Your Peace to fill and satisfy
my heart. So I now open the door of my heart and I ask
You, Jesus, to please come in and give me Your free gift
of Eternal Life! Thank You, Jesus, for suffering for all
of the wrong I have done and for forgiving me and hearing
my prayer! In Jesus' name, amen."
Now that you have asked Jesus to come into your heart, a
wonderful new life has begun for you! The Bible says,
"If anyone be in Christ, He is a new creation. Old
things are passed away, behold, all things are become
new!"--2Corinthians 5:17.
