Which Way Is A Person To Go To Find Out What's Really True ? |
 |
As we live our lives we make choices, some big, some little, some good and some bad. God cares about us and everything we do. God wants us to choose those things that will help us live our lives the way they were meant to be lived. |
 |
All too often, the choices we make are bad ones. It is these bad choices or sins that have caused us to become distant from God. We try many things to get back into a good relationship with Him, but it seems that we just keep going further away from Him. The Bible says that we are like sheep in the way we move away from God. "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way..." (Isaiah 53:6)Jesus said that there are many
choices in the world but only one that gives us real answers
to life's questions of who we are and what our purpose is. The "road" that Jesus was talking about was Himself! |
 |
Jesus said that He provided the only way for people to find a right relationship with God. "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)Each person must come to the place where they decide which "road" they are going to follow. No one can make the choice for you. You can follow your own way which leads you away from God or you can follow after Jesus admitting that you are unable to get off the destructive path you are on and that He is the only one who is able to free you. Prayer is a way that we can express our thoughts and feelings to God. If the prayer below shares your desire for God then pray this prayer or something like it. "Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and that I am not able to live a life that is following Your way. I know that You died as a payment for my sin. I also know that I need to surrender to You as the Lord or leader of my life. Thank You for loving me and for providing this way for me. Amen." If you prayed to have God forgive you and to have Jesus become the leader of your life, please email us to let us know. We would like to pray for you and to email you some information which can help you grow with God. |
