Most people have an idea of what they believe it will take to be accepted by God. After all, who likes the idea of exiting this life without being on good terms with him? Thankfully, its possible to be certain that you've made peace with God, but the way must be chosen during this life.

Romans5:1

We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever bellieve in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 10:10

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

God loves you and wants you to experience peace and an eternal, fulfilling life. God did not create us like robots to automatically love and mechanically obey him. God gave us a will and the freedom to choose. The first man and woman chose to disobey God and go their own willful way. And we still make that choice today.

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death.

Isaiah 59:2

Your iniquities have made a seperation between you and your God.

People have tried many ways to bridge this Gap between themselves and God. Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. Though he was God's sinless Son, he became a human, took our place, and paid the penalty for our sin, bridging the gap between God and us. God has provided the only way to forgiveness of sin and eternal life. But each person must make a choice.

1Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and there is one meditator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Revelation 3:20

Behold i stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice andopens the door, i will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

John 14:6

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.

We must trust Jesus Christ as our savior and receive him by personal choice.
