Do You Want to Get Well?

The “Great Physician” Won’t Operate On Our Heart Without Our Consent

Why would anyone choose to remain an invalid?

Pet Rocks

We have our own “Pet Sins”

Jesus asks,

“Do you want

to get well?”

God’s Grace Empowers Change

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.” -- Titus 2:11-12

“For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”

---Romans 6:14

The Gospel addresses both the guilt and power of sin

Our guilt of our sin is immediately removed when we become a Christian!

The power of sin is diminished in our lives over time as we remain in Jesus. Christ breaks the stranglehold of sin in our life. We “win” by staying in Jesus, and in the battle.

Do you want to get well? Let Christ carry your load of guilt!

A pardon must be accepted to be valid.

“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities…the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

-- Isaiah 53:4-6

The blood of Jesus continually cleanses me from my guilt of sin.

“But if we walk in the light…the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.”

- I John 1:7

Wouldn’t it be great to begin this new year with Christ bearing your guilt,

and transforming you by his grace?

Sign the consent… Be transformed by his grace…
