THERE IS HOPE! tract gospel's TestimonyTHERE IS HOPE! tract gospelhttp://gospel-outreach.org/files/There%20is%20hope%20tract%20A4.pdfBy choosing to live without God�s loving rule over our lives we separate ourselves from Him. We also run the risk of terrible consequences after death...a permanent separation from God in hell. God does not want anyone in hell. He wants all people to turn to Him so they can receive His forgiveness and experience the new life He planned for them originally. To make this possible God paid a very high price... THERE IS HOPE! THE BEGINNING THE PROBLEM THE CONSEQUENCES The following are 4 reasons why you should be hopeful about the future... The following explains how you can know Him for yourself. 1. You were created for a purpose by a loving Creator. 2. God cares about what happens to you in this fallen world and wants to get your attention. 3. God has demonstrated how much He loves you in an incredible way. 4. God offers you an opportunity today to respond to Him. The Bible teaches that God created all things including you and me. In the beginning theworld He created was perfect (no pain, no war, no suffering). His original plan for human beings was that we would know Him, live for Him on the earth and enjoy being with Him in heaven forever. So why is it that most people are not living the lifeGod intended for them? �In the beginning God created...� Genesis 1:1. The Bible is clear that the reason we don�t experience God�s blessings is that we are guilty of rebelling against Him and living life our own way. The Bible calls this �sin�. Not only are we guilty of breaking God�s laws by our actions but also by our thoughts and motives. Nothing is hidden from God�s sight. ��all have sinned�' (Romans 3:23) Examples of our rebellion may include lying, stealing, blasphemy, sex outside marriage, pride (thinking we don�t need God)...the list goes on. THE SOLUTION THE GIFT �God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.� (Romans 5:8). God loves us so much that He sent Jesus (the Son of God) to earth. Jesus lived a perfect life then willingly suffered and died on a cross for our sin (we broke God�s law and Jesus paid our fine). God then raised Him from the dead three days later and offers forgiveness (Jesus perfect record) and new life to everyone. However, this is not automatic, like any gift, we must receive it. If you have not received this gift then talk to God today�admit that you have offended Him by your attitudes and actions, turn to Him and surrender, ask Him to forgive you and enter your life by His Spirit so you can become the person He wants you to be. Receiving forgiveness and new life is the first step, for more information please go to: www.questionsoflife.com or contact: To order these tracts e-mail: info@gospel-outreach.org � Matt Old 2011 http://gospel-outreach.org/countries/nz-gospeltracts neville@christensen.org.nz |
