La Eperanza de vidaA new way of living

If you could spare just a few minutes…

I would like to share with you the greatest Love Story of all time.

I would first like to ask…

How are you?

But honestly, How are you?

Don’t say “fine” or “good.” I want to know how you are REALLY

feeling right now? What are your Joys, Concerns? What are you

struggling with? WHAT is keeping you up at night?

Many people think that their worries come from

Not having a better job?Being single?Not having enough money?What they have done? What has been done to them?

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21

We are saddened, for our hearts have become dark.

…as it is written,“There is none righteous, not even

one; There is none who understands,

There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they

have become useless; There is none who does good, There

is not even one.”

What is the world like without a relationship with Christ?

Romans 3:10-12

Is THIS how you pictured your life when you were 7?

Maybe being an astronaut or ballerina is out of the question, but are you happy with the daily decisions you are making? Are you really happy with your life?

Or are you just content?

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:23

Does anyone really deserve God’s mercy?

Even though we have fallen short of the Glory of God, His Grace covers all

sin.

“so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 5:21

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.Romans 5:8

God has paid the ultimate price so that we may have life

and have it abundantly.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Do you understand what this means?

This means that, no matter what you’ve done,

no matter how hopeless you feel,

no matter what you’ve been through,

God Loves you and has forgiven you.

Nothing can Ever divide us from God’s Love.

Can you imagine giving up the person you Love most in

the world, all for the people who rebel against you?

This is what God’s Love is like.

He created us, loved us, and sent his only Son to die for our sins so that we would have eternal

life.

Romans 4:8

Knowing about God and having a Relationship with Him are two different things entirely.It could mean the difference between

…that if you confess with your mouth

Jesus as Lord, and believe in your

heart that God raised Him

from the dead, you will

be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and

with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

All it takes is one simple act.

Romans 10:9-10
