You Are a Very Important Person

SO IMPORTANT TO GOD that He knew all about you before you were born!

He told the prophet Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; and before you came out of the womb I set you apart."

In Psalm 139 King David said, "You have created my inward parts; You have knit me together in my mother's womb...My bones were not hidden from You... Your eyes did see my substance, being yet unformed." (verses 13, 15, 16)

SO IMPORTANT TO GOD that He has a master plan for you!

Paul said, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has prepared in advance that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10) Jesus said, "It is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." (Matthew 18:14)

SO IMPORTANT TO GOD that He loves you!

Even though none of us is worthy of His love, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for your sins, Paul wrote, "God showed His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (in our place)." (Romans 5:8)

SO IMPORTANT TO GOD that He wants you to have everlasting life, AND to be with him forever in heaven.

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world (you and me) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Jesus, Himself said, "I go to prepare a place for you...that where I am, there you may be also." (John 14:2,3)

SO IMPORTANT TO GOD that the Lord Jesus Christ extends this gracious invitation to you!

"Behold, I stand at the door (of your heart) and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me." (Revelation 3:20) Now, if you have a New Testament, read Philippians 2:5-11. In these verses you will find that the Lord Jesus, though He was God, humbled Himself, and came to earth in order to die on the cross for our sins. Won't you open your heart to such a wonderful Savior? "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." (Acts 16:31) You can have everlasting life now, if you will ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior and Lord. Choose now to open your heart to Christ. He's waiting to come in! Here is a brief prayer that will help you.

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I have sinned and I am truly sorry for my sins. I thank You for loving me so much that You died on the cross for my sins. Please come into my heart and life and be my Savior and Lord."

The Word of God says, "He that has (as a possession) the Son, has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life." (1 John 5:12) If you have just asked Him into your heart, thank Him now for giving to you His life!
