The
term "eternal life" does not speak only of
the length of life, but also of the quality of life
God wants us all to enjoy. The following colors
illustrate how to have this eternal life.
BLUE
REPRESENTS HOPE
You can trust in God.
God loves you so much that He wants to give you
eternal life! The Bible states that the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans
6:23). But before receiving God's gift, we must
understand our problem.
THIS
COLOR REPRESENTS DARKNESS
Without Christ we are
separated from God.
- The Bible teaches
that all have sinned and come short of God's glory
(Romans 3:23).
- We sin when we do
things we should not, and not do things we should.
You sin anytime your life does not follow God's
perfect plan. Where have you sinned?
- God has provided
the way for your sins to be forgiven and for the
gift of eternal life to be received. Only He can
bring you out of darkness and into His marvelous
light (1 Peter 2:9).
RED
REPRESENTS CHRIST'S SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS
Jesus is the way to
be forgiven and made whole.
- Jesus said that He
is the way; no one comes to the Father except
through Him (John 14:6).
- Jesus died on the
cross to pay the penalty for our sin. The Bible
says that Christ died for sins once for all of us,
the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to
God (1 Peter 3:18). But the story doesn't end
there. The good news is that Jesus was
resurrected. He overcame death.
- But we must
respond by receiving Him as Savior. The Bible
states it this way, "But as many as received
Him, to them He gave the power to become the
children of God" (John 1:12).
GOLD
REPRESENTS ETERNAL LIFE
You receive eternal
life through faith.
- The Bible says
that we are saved by grace through faith
(Ephesians 2:8).
- Faith in Jesus
does not mean only believing the facts about Him.
You must trust Him completely.
- You can receive
Christ right now in prayer. The Bible says that
whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved (Romans 10:13).
The following prayer
is offered as a suggestion to those seriously desiring
to follow Jesus Christ.
Dear God, I know that
I am separated from You. Thank You for sending Jesus
to die for my sins. I want to turn from my sins and
place my faith in Jesus right now. Please come into my
life and be my Savior. Show me how to live, and I will
seek to follow You the rest of my life.
If you prayed this
prayer sincerely, God just gave you the gift of
eternal life.
GREEN
