As we go about our daily lives, if you'll take the time to notice, there is love all around you.  People holding hands or kissing, love songs on the radio, TV advertisers trying to convince you, that if you buy their product, someone will love you more, you're being invited to a wedding just about every weekend, etc...  Sometimes we hate to admit it, but love is what makes the world go around.

God loves you and He wants to have a love relationship with you.  He wants to spend time with you, if you'll let Him.  That relationship is so important to God that He made the ultimate love sacrifice for you.  He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for you to allow that relationship to continue in heaven and throughout eternity.   So if you would like to know how to have that type of relationship with God, please read the following:

The Bible says:

Romans 3:10

As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;  (No one is good enough)

Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  (All have sinned, we've all made mistakes)

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  (Because of love, Jesus paid the death penalty for our sins)

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Eternal life is a free gift from God)

Romans 10:9

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  (Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart)

Romans 10:13

for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."  (Ask God to save you and He will)

All these verses were taken from the New International Version (NIV) Bible

To place your faith in Jesus and receive His free gift of eternal life you must:

	Recognize that God created you for a love relationship with Him.  He already loves you, all He wants is for you to love Him back.
	Recognize that you are a sinner and you cannot save yourself.
	Believe that because of sin, a death payment is earned; we deserve death.  When Jesus chose to die on the cross He made the payment for us.
	Confess (agree with God) that you're a sinner and that your sins separate you from God.
	Repent of your sins (turn from sin to God).  Thanking God for His forgiveness.
	Ask Jesus to save you.
	Turn over the rule in your life to Jesus.  Let Him be your Lord.
