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

Life.
With the spiritual birth comes everlasting life. I am born again, born of His Spirit, cleansed by His blood, joint heirs with King Jesus & part of the family of God.

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.

I "received' life because my parents had sex, and I am the product of millions of years of evolution.
I don't know anyone called Jesus, and I certainly haven't received gifts from anyone going by that name. That'd be creepy, as in stalker creepy, if a stranger started giving me gifts. I'd probably get a court order taken out on them.
As god/s don't exist, neither does sin. You can't offend an imaginary being.
I don't "receive" anyone. I have gay friends who do, but sorry, I'm straight. If I was gay, I'd be a top, any way.

A person has to go through their own way of accepting the freedom of life that Jesus has to offer. I have tasted the freedom and by the grace of God I will continue to walk all of my days in the freedom of the love of Christ.
I spent many days defeated and held captive to my sins of the past. Although I knew Jesus and loved Him I had not fully accepted what He had to give to my life. One day as I set prisoner of my past I looked down and realized the shackles of my past were already broken, I was already free but I had not yet chosen to get up and live in freedom. Thank God I finally did.

Can't be a gift of Jesus because people were around long before him. Wish you people would quit making things up. Gives your religion the same credibility as the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Which come to think of it explains the universe much better than Christianity.

Neither. There is no such thing as sin. God does not have prophets or messiahs. Paul is the one that taught all of this, not Jesus.

No, sorry. Compared to the monsterous deity Jesus claimed to serve/be, and the failure to fulfill the Messianic prophecies...
I think I'll stick with not believing.
