TO: You, My Friend

FROM: The Sanctuaries

My friend; If you have entered this web site and don’t know our friend Jesus, and desire to know Him, these verses will guide you to a personal knowledge of Him. Pray to Him right now. We urge you not to wait until it’s too late.

  • Romans 3:10
    "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: "
  • Romans 3:23
    "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
  • Romans 5:12
    "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
  • Romans 6:23
    "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
  • Romans 5:8
    "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
  • Romans 10:9-10
    "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
  • Romans 10:13
    "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

If you need help, prayer, or someone to lead you to a better understanding of how to be saved, please contact us. If you have received Jesus today, please follow-up by beginning your daily bible study in the book of John.

The following verse is always comforting:

  • John 3:16
    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

My friend:

If you have read the preceding verses and don’t understand how to become a child of God, please understand that it is a free gift. Receiving Jesus Christ involves turning from self to God. This is called repentance. It means asking Christ to come into your life, to forgive your sins and to make you the kind of person He wants you to be. If you agree in your mind that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He died on the cross for your sins, you have not gone far enough. We all receive Jesus Christ by faith, which is an act of the willingness of man. You must let Jesus, the Son of God, rule your life.

At this point you may be asking, "how do I do this?"

You can do this right now through prayer, which is talking with God. Following is a simple prayer that will lead you to your salvation:

"I ask you right now to come into my heart, Lord Jesus. I admit that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. Thank you for dying for me so that I could receive forgiveness and have eternal life. My heart and life is now open and I want to receive You as my Lord and Saviour. Please take control of my life, and grant me Your pardon and peace and joy. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for hearing and answering my prayer, and for coming into my heart and life as You promised in the verses I just read. Amen."

My friend, if you have prayed this prayer and it is truly your desire, now is the time to totally commit to Jesus, that you are going to constantly be open to his leadership of your life, on a daily basis. Begin by reading the book of John and seek out a fellowship of believers where you can worship our Lord. This will be the most important decision you have ever made. You can now begin a new life and enjoy the peace, joy, and power of knowing Jesus

If you have made this all, important decision, we would like to know about it. Not for our glory, but for the praise of our Lord Jesus. We want to help you through our prayers. Please contact us today by letter, card, or e-mail. May God bless you as you begin your new life in Him.
