The STORY:

Man in Sin is separated from God

The figure on the left represents every person like you and me. The darkness represents our sin. Sin is anything that God tells us not to do.

The Bible says, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Our sins separate us from God. 

Rom 3:23 KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;


The heavenly radiance on the right represents God. God is perfect and without sin. God loves us. God does not want us to perish, but to have everlasting life. Our sins must be removed in order to have eternal life with God.
Christ on the Cross
God loved us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to earth as a man. God made Jesus die on a cross to pay for our sins with His blood. He took our sins into His body on the cross so that we could come to God.
(1 Pet 2:24 KJV) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

(1 Pet 3:18 KJV) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:


(Rom 5:8 KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.


The Bible also says that:

(John 3:16 KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Tomb
Men buried Jesus in a tomb. They rolled a huge stone in front of it. The soldiers guarded the tomb.
CHRIST IS RISEN
God sent an angel to roll away the huge stone and to scare away the soldiers.

God raised Jesus from the dead!

Soon afterward, God took Jesus back to heaven

Jesus has paid the price for our sins, and Jesus has conquered death.
The Cross is the Bridge to God

Jesus is the only way we can come to God. Jesus says in the Bible, 

(John 14:6 KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Through Jesus, we can be forgiven of all our sins and be with God forever. But just knowing about these things is not enough! We must choose to put our faith in Jesus - to trust in Him to save us from sin.

If you do not take the step of trusting in Jesus, then your sins are not removed! 

(Heb 4:2 KJV) For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

The Choices: Heaven or Hell

The Bible says that whoever believes in Jesus has eternal life and is not judged. 

(John 3:16 KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

(John 3:18 KJV) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

(John 3:36 KJV) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


This means that the penalty for sin is death, but eternal life through Jesus is a free gift from God. 

What choice will you make?

Trust in Jesus Christ to be forgiven and have eternal life.

Steps for followers of Christ

Love God and all people 
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself. 


(Mat 22:36 KJV) Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

(Mat 22:37 KJV) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

(Mat 22:38 KJV) This is the first and great commandment.

(Mat 22:39 KJV) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

(Mat 22:40 KJV) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Pray to God constantly 

In prayer you can thank and worship God, ask for His help, confess your sins, and pray for others. ?Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Study the Bible (God's Word) Daily 

Start with the Gospel of John; read chapter 1 each day.

1 Pet 2:2 KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

(John 14:23 KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Meet regularly with other Christians 

God commands that Christians meet regularly for worship, prayer, Bible Study, and helping each other.

(Heb 10:25 KJV) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Tell others the good news about Jesus 

God wants us to tell other people How to Have Eternal Life with God by trusting in Jesus to save them from sin. You can use the STORY and the information from this website to talk to others about Jesus! 

(Mark 16:15 KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Ask Jesus Christ To Save You Right NOW!
Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and your life.
Then tell us about your decision so that we can rejoice and thank God with you.

Check out Matthew chapter 2  and Luke chapter 2 of the Bible! 
Now you know!
