COLLEGE?
GET MORE OUT OF COLLEGE THAN A PIECE OF PAPER. FIND REAL LIFE.
why did you receive this?
You may be wondering why someone gave you this information about Jesus. We are not condemning you, looking down at you, or trying to manipulate you. Our desire is that you would hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ, understand, believe, and follow Christ through faith. This is because we believe Jesus is who He said He was, the only way to find real life in God and be forgiven of sin. Jesus teaches His followers to share this life changing news with everyone we can. Not to share the good news of Jesus is to withhold the most important and valuable truth that anyone could ever say in all of history. Our hope and prayer is that you will find salvation from death and hell and new life in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
everybody decides something
Even though God is sovereign and control, God still allows people to choose and decide whether or not they will love Him and accept Christ’s gift of salvation. God’s desire is that all people would be saved (1 Timothy 2:1-7), but at the same time He recognizes that not everyone will choose to follow Him (Matthew 7:13-14). This decision is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. No matter who you are or what you’ve done, you can be forgiven in Christ if you will TURN from your sin and living your life in opposition to God and BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God who took away our sin on the cross, and by faith in Him can make you right with God. This is the most important decision that you will make in your life, so it should not be entered into lightly.
what do you decide?
Because Jesus claimed to be the ONLY way of salvation for man, we are left with one of three choices to make about Jesus:
a.) LUNATIC - perhaps Jesus was crazy, and He was merely insane and not truly the Son of God. However, if Jesus was insane, would He continue to be one of the most influential men in all of history for over 2000 years?
b.) LIAR - maybe Jesus was lying and deceiving His disciples and enemies from His birth until today. Still, would a habitual liar create some of the most truthful and enlightening teachings in all of history?
c.) LORD - Jesus is who He said He was, the Son of God and the Savior of mankind. Here’s what you need to pray to God to accept this salvation of Jesus:
If you still have not made the decision to follow Christ, we encourage you to pray and ask God to reveal Himself to you and give you understanding about who He is. Please check out the fbc college blog if you have any questions. It’s a place where you can voice your questions, prayer requests, and other issues about your relationship with God and get help finding answers.
