How Can I Know God?
The Solution
The Bible tells us however, that God deeply loves every man and woman, and does not desire to send anyone to hell. In light of this, God sent His only son Jesus to earth, to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus was born of a virgin, was fully God and fully man, and obeyed God perfectly throughout His entire life. He never sinned, although He was tempted in every way. After living a life of perfect obedience, He was put to death upon a Roman cross, dying the death of a common criminal. While hanging on the cross, God the Father punished Jesus for the sins of His people. The Father poured out His full wrath upon Jesus, giving Him the punishment that we deserve. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For our sake he [God the Father] made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Now God offers the free gift of salvation to all who turn from their life of sin and call upon Jesus Christ, trusting in Jesus to save them from the wrath of God. When we place all our hope and trust in Jesus, our sins are forgiven, our consciences wiped clean, and God adopts us as His children. We cannot earn salvation, it can only be accepted as a gift.
God longs to give you the gift of salvation. Turn to Him today
and receive the greatest gift.
