The Good News Message:
Isn’t it captivating to not only hear, but see the Word of God displayed before your very eyes? It reminds us that Jesus Christ actually, historically, came into this world two thousand years ago! And why? Because God the Father loved us so much that He gave His Son so that whoever trusts in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life! Now, His Son has paid for our sins, has risen from the dead, ascended into heaven and freely offers to you and me the gift of eternal life. You can receive His gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ right now. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
If your desire is to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, then call on Him asking Him for this gift right now. May I suggest a prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. I ask You to come into my life; take control of my life; forgive my sins and save me. I turn from my sins and now place my trust in You for my salvation, and now accept the free gift of eternal life.”
Please let us know if you prayed this prayer or would like to talk with someone about a relationship with Jesus Christ by contacting us at info@briarwood.org. We would love to hear from you, pray with you and talk with you about Jesus, the Savior of sinners. Emmanuel, God with us!
