Hi, my name is Marsha and I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I am a married mother of 1 son. In Nov, 1996 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and I had to have a radical surgery done. I now have seizures but they are no longer every day, and I do have cognitive difficulty. I know I will never be the same as I once was, but I also know that I would not be what I am without Jesus Christ. He has been there for me through everything. I owe everything to him. I can't get out much now so the best way for me to witness about his love is on the internet. I want everyone to know he is there for you. There is no trial or trouble that he cannot help you through. I hope it reaches out to someone.

My scripture that sustains me....

...But then, I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and bring you home again. for I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. You will find me when you seek me, if you look for me in earnest.

Jeremiah 29 11b-13

 

 


There are five things God wants us to know: 

He loves us. 
He has a plan for us, a full life. 
Sin separates us from Him. 
Jesus Christ is the only way into Heaven. 
In order to get to Heaven, we must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. 

He loves us! "For 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).

He has a plan for us, a full life! A full life means that you can be set free from your sins, because as a Christian we now have the power (the Holy Spirit) to say no to sin and yes to Jesus! We also have a sense of hope and peace that we will spend eternity in Heaven. Jesus Himself said, "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full" (John 10:10). But most people are not experiencing Gods' love and the full life, because...

Sin separates us from Him! "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23NIV). And the penalty for sin is death, for Romans 6:23NIV says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Jesus Christ is the only way into Heaven! Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6NIV).

In order to get to Heaven, we must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord! You can receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord right now by faith through prayer. (Prayer is talking with God.) Pray as follows: Lord Jesus, I need you! I sincerely confess and repent of my sins. I believe you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you are Lord, and that God raised you from the dead. I receive you as my personal Savior and Lord. Thank you, Lord. Amen. (This is only a suggested prayer. God is not as concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart, but you must be sincere!)


This is only the beginning of a new life in Christ. To develop a relationship with Jesus, you must:

Have a "Quiet Time" (Psalms 77:12) 
Be baptized (Mark 16:16). 
Pray daily (1 Peter 4:7). 
Study the Bible daily (Joshua 1:8). 
Witness for Christ by sharing the gospel (Romans 1:16). 
Go to church regularly (Hebrews 10:25). 
Confess and repent of your sins daily (1 John 1:9; Acts 3:19). 
Fellowship with other Christians (Romans 12:4,5) 
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (1 Cor 13:14).
