"JESUS WEPT"
Crystal tears fall from His eyes when he looks upon the earth.Oh what He sees breaks His heart;we live in abject dearth. He died on the cross so all could see the glories He created for you and me,but if we do not believed He died for us, then he cries, and cries for us. The crystal tears roll down His cheeks, they drop on Heavens's floor. He died and rose again for us. HE is the one and only door into the presence of the Father the Ruler of All, on High. It is the name of Jesus alone that gets us to Him Nigh. Oh, friend, please look to Jesus. He died upon the cross and on the third day so we would not be lost. When we believe in Jesus as the risen Son of the LIVING GOD, our future is sealed in Heaven, and the golden streets we shall trod. The crystal tears flow down from his cheeks because of His great, magnificent love. He wants us all to live with Him in the Heaven He created above.

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SAVED? I NEVER DID ANYTHING THAT BAD
The reason is simple. Man is born with a sinful nature. Because of the past mistakes of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, Man was cut off from God totally. When we are born, we are born spiritually detached and separated from God. We are born independent and with a selfish attitude that allows us to reason that we do not need God. Unfortuanately, we go on life trying to figure things out ourselevs when our efforts are in vain. A person will never be able to control their problems without God. Being saved and becoming a Christian means to rely on God for guidance 100% of the time. If we strive to do HIS will and NOT our own, and set our goals on living a righteouss life for Him, we have done HIS will.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on
your own understanding; In all your ways aknowledge Him, and He
shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5,6
This doesn't mean that we become perfect people. In fact, Christians are like everyone else. However, the only difference lies in that to be saved, is to be forgiven of all our past mistakes. We are spiritually and metaphorically BORN AGAIN. We start with a clean slate.
BUT WHAT IF I SIN
AFTER I ACCEPT JESUS???
God has that covered. You see, Jesus not only died for your past sins, but for every single one you commit during your lifetime. Since you aknowledge Jesus as your Saviour, you ask for sincere forgiveness from God and move on. If there is anything you remember, remember this: God doesn't count how many times we fall, but how many times we get up!
"BUT HOLD ON! WHY DO I
HAVE TO BE SAVED? CAN'T I GO TO HEAVEN BY JUST LIVING A GOOD LIFE
AND BEING A GOOD PERSON?"
According to scripture, our good works are not enough to wash the sinful nature of man, but only by receiving God's Son as our personal Lord and Saviour can we be saved. Only through Jesus are we redeemed.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -
and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by
works, so that no one can boast"
Ephesians 2:8,9
Becuse of our sins, we all deserve God's Judgment. Yet God's love is so deep that He punished Jesus on the cross for what we have done. Jesus as our substitute, WILLINGLY suffered the punishment of death we deserved making it possible for us to know God personally.
Dear friend, if you have not received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to, recite the Prayer of Salvation. If you truly believe with your heart that He died for your sins, and rose on the third day, then you shall be rewarded with everlasting life. For the scriptures say:
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten son, that whosoever should believe in Him shall not
perish, but have everlasting life"
John 3:16
"For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Romans 10:10
RECITE THIS PRAYER OUTLOUD,
MEAN IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED!
Lord Jesus, I need You. I believe in You. Thank You for dying on
the cross for the sins I have commited. I ask you to forgive me
for my sins and give me eternal life. I desire to know You as
Saviour and Lord. Take control of my life. As I follow You, make
me the kind of person you want me to be. Amen.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Your name has been written in the Book of Life, and because you
believed, the Angels of Heaven sound their trumpets for You. YES
YOU!
