An Invitation Many websites and businesses invite customers to take advantage of special offers and gifts after making a purchase, but at FlutterbyBaby we invite you to take advantage of a free gift that is available to you without any purchase. Each of us at FlutterbyBaby has taken advantage of this invitation. The invitation we are talking about is the free gift of eternal salvation-a personal relationship with God. In today's busy world it can be hard to understand salvation. People pollute God's sincere desire for a relationship with their own ideas and agendas. God's plan is simple, though, and spelled out in the bible in a familiar verse, John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life." Why do we need a relationship with God? In Romans 3:23 the bible says, "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." In Romans 6:23 the bible says, "the wages of sin is death". The awesome thing about this verse is that it doesn't stop with death, but goes on to say "but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus." That eternal life-a relationship with God-is the free gift. How do I get a relationship with God?
This gift is very easy to recieve. 1) Understand that all mankind has sinned. 2) Believe that Jesus Christ died on a cross for your sins. Don't believe me? Then look at John 3:16 again. Now look at Romans 5:8, it says that God demonstrated His love for us "in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." 3) Believe that after Christ gave His life for you by dying on the cross, He rose again and defeated death. By doing this, we are guaranteed eternal life after our body dies if we have a relationship with God. 4) Confess your belief with your mouth, which is prayer. Prayer is not mysterious or scary, it is simply talking to God. In Romans 10:9 the bible says, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has rasied Him from the dead, then you will be saved." Still not sure what to say, try this: God, I don't know you personally, but I want to know you. I believe that Your word, the bible, is true. I don't want to go to hell, I really want forgiveness from my sins. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose agian. Come into my heart and cleanse me of my sins and give me the power overcome death. I want to be Your child and learn Your ways. Keep me from evil. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen. Now you have just recieved God's free gift, eternal life. But don't stop there, go to church, meet others who have this "gift", pray and read the bible. I also encourage you to go to this website Need Him and explore this gift further. Thank you for visiting and if you've said this prayer and accepted this gift, email us and we will pray with you that God keeps you strong.
