If no one will tell, share...
God's Love: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (JOHN 3:16).
God's Plan: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (JOHN 17:3).
People are sinful: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (ROMANS 3:23).
People are separated: "The wages of sin is death" (spiritual separation from God) (ROMANS 6:23).
He died in our place: "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (ROMANS 5:8)
He rose from the dead: "Christ died for our sins... He was buried... He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures... He was seen by Cephas then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once..." (1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-6).
He is the only way to God: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me' " (JOHN 14:6).
We must receive Christ: "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" (JOHN 1:12)
We receive Christ through faith: "By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (EPHESIANS 2:8-9)
When we receive Christ, we experience a new birth: Nicodemus "came to Jesus by night and said to Him, 'Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.' Jesus answered and said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' Nicodemus said to Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' Jesus answered, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again." The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit' " (JOHN 3:2-8).
We receive Christ by personal invitation: (Christ speaking) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him" (REVELATION 3:20).
