Unfortunately our world is full of brokenness and despair ...
Everday people look for cures to ailments that have no natural solutions. Many people feel empty. They feel lonely and have become so conditioned to their sickness, (a soul sickness) that they believe they are beyond redemption, or think they are alright where they are at because they, "manage."

First of all, I want you to know that God does not want you to just manage or "get by." He wants you to live. He created you to KNOW HIM. To KNOW His plan for your life. He wants you to accept the sacrifice He made for you. The trouble is, we don't often accept a gift from someone we don't know or trust.

Can I Trust God?
The answer is yes. He is good. He is patient. He is gentle and kind. Over the past decade - due to human pride and moral failure, many people have been 'turned off' by the church and repelled thoughts of God because they have a warped perception of who He is. I ask you now to release those thoughts. Separating yourself from them is vital so that you can take your first step toward your Creator and the TRUTH of who He was and still is. Maybe you have had a tragedy in your life or in your family and you are very angry at God. Maybe you don't know His kindness, patience or goodness. And I'm telling you that it's time for you to be free from the pain you feel ... God made a Way.

Jesus ... God's Sinless Sacrifice ...
Many people know of Jesus. He is recognized as one of the greatest teachers and prophets of all time ... but few actually know Him. In the Old Testament there was a sacrifical system set up to atone for the people's sin. For each sin there was a specific sacrifice. Compelled by His love for creation, God sent a perfect sacrifice that would seal redemption for mankind forever. As a matter of fact, Jesus bore all of our sins ... past, present and future on His cross.

There was never a moment when Jesus said, "... This or that sin is too great for My sacrifice..." The power of sin and guilt does not outweigh the power of His blood at work in our lives. He Himself said that He did not come to condemn the world ... God's greatest desire is that the world THROUGH CHRIST would be saved.

The scripture says, “ He who knew not sin, became sin for us, that we might attain to the righteousness of God through Him. It also tells us, “ None are righteous, no not one, for all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.” The scripture also says, “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life, to all that believe, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The Apostle Paul said, “ We are saved by Grace through Faith and that, not of ourselves, It is the Gift of God, not as a result of works, lest any one should boast. Jesus said, “ For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him would not perish, but has everlasting life. Jesus died for our sins as our perfect sacrifice, saving us from judgment and eternal separation form God. History shows that Jesus is both Lord and Savior to all who believe. So, we have learned that we are all sinners and that the wages of sin is death. However, we are also made aware that Jesus is our perfect sacrifice and that he paid our sin debt by shedding His sinless blood for all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior.

How can I know for sure?
There are so many creeds and religious beliefs in the world today.
But let me tell you what I have found, man's religion teaches them to 'manage' their sin. Whatever it might be. Anger, pride, lust, adultery.... True Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship. And when you step into this relationship, Jesus does not require you to manage you guilt or your sin. He begins working in your heart to set you completely free from all of it. His gift of love and remption will change any man, woman or child from the INSIDE OUT.

The Bible is very clear on what happens to a man or woman who doesn't accept accept God's gift of salvation, not because He is unfair, but because He is sinless and holy and His holiness demands that there be a covering for sin. And the TRUTH is that Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY to God. His is the ONLY NAME by which a man can be saved. Not only does the Bible tell us so, but we must also look at the lives of millions of believers around the world who have been healed, set free from suicide, depression, anger, addictions, fear, guilt, selfishness, etc. Notice I didn't say that they MANAGE their sin. Jesus Christ moved into their life and set them free.

Do you long for this freedom? To know Him who is Life, Peace, Health and Strength? Romans 10:9-10 tells us that, "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If you choose to accept the sinless sacrifice made for you by Jesus Christ, I invite you to pray with me:

"Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You Name. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10. 'If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.' And I now CONFESS and
BELIEVE that Jesus is Lord of all.

What's My Next Step?
If you have prayed for and received God's gift of salvation, it is important that you take the next steps to further you along on your journey toward knowing God's master plan for your life.

• Find an active church. A place full of faith where you feel a "heart and faith" connection. This is essential! If you would information about weekly services at Solid Rock, please call us at: (352) 735-5777.

• Spend quality time reading your Bible and in prayer. Starting off this may seem intimidating, but ask God to lead you a step at a time and BY FAITH, (a force not necessarily felt or thought) take steps toward knowing Him. I suggest reading Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to start with.

• Ask the LORD to direct your steps and TRUST that He is.

• Lastly, if you have prayed this prayer, or if you are unsure and would like to speak more to someone about salvation, please call us at: (352) 383-4777 or email us at: webmaster@larrystutzman.org
