LEAVE ME ALONE

You may have said to God: “Leave me alone. I don’t want anything to do with you.”

GOD MIGHT GRANT YOUR WISH...
Why would God want you in his heaven when you don’t want to be there? If you should die without asking God to forgive you, you will get your wish. You could spend eternity without him, or any evidence of him. No love. No companionship. No change. No hope. Such desolation is called hell.

GOD LOVES YOU...
God has gone to great lengths to make it possible for you to spend eternity with him. The bible tells how God continues to search out his lost people and care for them. He longs to have people respond to his love.

JESUS DIED FOR YOU...
Jesus, God’s only son, decided he would rather die than let you spend eternity in hell. And he did. Though he was innocent, he suffered death on a cross to give you eternal life.

ACCEPT WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU...
Jesus said in John 8:24 that you will die in your sins if you do not accept him and what he has done on your behalf.

ETERNAL LIFE...
Why put it off any longer? Look around you: do you see anything that is good? What is being offered is eternity with the author of everything good. That life can start now. Ask God to open your heart. Accept what Jesus has done on your behalf and receive eternal life.

DON’T WAIT...
You can accept this atoning sacrifice and receive eternal life now. Or you can put off the decision and hope you don’t die before this question gets resolved.

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE...
• Read John 3:1-21.
• Talk to a friend who loves Jesus.
• Visit a church that clearly explains the redeeming work of Jesus.
• Use this prayer to ask God to forgive you and come into your heart:

God, please do not leave me alone. I accept that Jesus died on the cross for my sins so I can have an eternal relationship with you. Forgive me for living as though you did not exist. Please come into my heart and have your way with me. Amen.
