Dr. Charles F. Stanley is senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta, founder of In Touch Ministries. Listen friend if you need God to come into your Life and you know in your heart that you desperately need Him please read this ....... Jesus suffered God's wrath on the Cross on our behalf by the Shedding of his Precious Blood and Body at the Cross of Cavalry so that our Sins can be forgiven. An exchange took place at the Cross 2000 years ago when Jesus carried and took all the sins of the world upon himself as the Son of God. He took our sins and in an exchange , He gave to us His righteousness as an inheritance. God is Righteous and the Bible says the penalty of sin is spiritual death. Jesus paid the price for our Salvation. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 If you haven't made the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior today or if you are a professing Christian and you need to be born again i offer you the Savior's invitation - there is a Hell to shun and a Heaven to Gain. You have a Hope, a Future and a Destiny in God. why don't you Say this Prayer wherever you are right now , God knows the situation your in and He knows what your going through. Say this prayer and mean it from your Heart and surrender yourself to Him..... that's all it takes... just surrender. Let's Pray : Father God, You loved the world so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to die for my sins so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have Eternal Life. Your Word says we are saved by grace through faith as a gift from You. There is nothing we can do to earn salvation, it is a gift , so Lord i accept what Jesus accomplished for me at the Cross of Cavalry. I believe and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Your Son, the Savior of the World. I believe He died on the Cross for me and bore all of my sins, and paid the price for them. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead on the third day and that He is alive today. Have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your Word is true. I know that without you in my heart and my life ....this Life is ....meaningless. Come into my heart today Lord Jesus... By faith I receive Jesus Christ now as my Lord and my Savior. I believe that i am saved and will spend eternity with You in Heaven ! Thank You. Father God. I am so grateful. In Jesus name. You are my Lord and my friend. I give you my Heart and my Life today and I ask You to take full control of this life from this moment onwards; I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ." Amen.(So be it) The Next Step i would recommend is for you to go get yourself a Good Study Bible (e.g. King James Bible(KJV) something like the "Prayer Journey Bible-Notes by Elmer Towns" or Life Principles Study Bible ) and get to a Church which preaches from the Holy Bible and only the Bible, where the Word of God is preached with Power, Authority and with Conviction just like the message you just heard. I Pray that God will guide you continually from this day onwards as you draw closer to Him, and know that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Jesus Loves you and Cares about you and He has plan and a Destiny for your life....you are precious to the Savior. God Loves you...
