Why Do I Need Jesus?
Newsflash...We Are Sinners!
And because of that sin, we have been separated from the God of the universe who desperately desires a relationship with us. And because our God is a Righteous and Holy God, He will not allow sin in His presence. He requires a penalty be paid for sin and that penalty is far too great for you or I to pay. But because our God is a God of Love and Mercy, He decided to pay OUR penalty Himself so we would not have to.
That is who Jesus is...God, taking our penalty for sin upon Himself! Now we don't have to worry about who is going to take on this punishment, it has already been done. And because of that, we can now come into the presence of the Uncreated, Eternal One who loves and adores us. That's our God! One who took OUR punishment on Himself so we wouldn't have to! (Romans 3:21-31)
If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, there is no better time like the present. You can do it right there at your computer, under your breath if you need to. Just thank Him for paying a penalty you never could have paid and dying so that you may have life everlasting! Then ask Him to come into your heart with His Holy Spirit. Then, go to my next post and learn how to live like a believer... ;)

First, I like the post.
Maybe I am just being nitpicky, but...
I won't argue that we have sinned, and even continue to do so.
But we are a NEW creation in Christ.
We are saints.
Not because of what we've done, but because of what He did.
He made us new. He doesn't see us as sinners anymore. (No, that doesn't mean we don't still sin)
He sees us as saints.
We are unworthy of such a title, yet how can we not try to live it out?
I agree 100%! We ARE saints, and it is by God's grace that we can even come into His throne room. And He calls us to live by a higher standard after we come to know Him.
This post was directed to unbelievers who have never heard why they too are in need of a Savior. Thanks for checking in on me to keep me in line, later Roland.
