1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.
Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

Yes, I have! It was the best thing that has ever happened to me! Praise God for sending His only begotten Son, to die for my sins and allow me to have eternal life. Before I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour, I was just a horrible person. I could have cared less about God, and I could have cared less about anyone but myself. I was a drunk, I was a cheat, I was a liar, I had a foul and perverse mouth, etc. I was going down the wrong road in life, and that road was leading me straight to hell! After my wife left me with my son, I finally started to think about what my life had become. I finally said to myself, "I'm gonna give God a chance, if anyone can help me, it would be Him." So I went to a revival service at a local church. The first night I was so mad at the preacher for preaching on my sin, that I said I wouldn't go back. But I did, and for the rest of the week. The last night of the revival, I finally gave in to God's calling. I repented of my sins and asked Jesus to save my soul and be the Lord of my life. My life has never been the same since!! God is in the business of changing peoples lives! Just ask my wife and my son.

Hey, haas--you're missing one key element: GRACE. Augustine says it well...
The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord must be understood as follows: grace is the only thing that delivers human beings from evil; without it, they do absolutely nothing good, whether in thought, or in will and emotion, or in action. Grace not only makes known to people what they ought to do, but also enables them to perform with love the duty that they know. –Augustine of Hippo

God gave up his only son for forgiveness of our sins. When you truly believe this and say "I believe Lord that you gave your life in order for us to live" your reward will be eternal life with him in heaven. It is not so hard to understand. I would die in order for my children to live. Jesus died for the same reason-in order for us to live.

God gave us the free gift of salvation through faith in his son Jesus Christ. All we have to do is recieve it by faith.

Ah, the roman's road, as antiquated as the bible itself. I grew up Baptist, I used to pass out tracts, then I realized I was invading others freedom of religion. That just isn't right.

You haven't really asked a question, so I will.
Did you know that there is a difference between your beliefs and the objective truth?
Did you know that not knowing this makes christians seem incredibly unintelligent and narrow minded?
Did you know that your jesus is just a rehash of earlier, cooler gods?
