GOD’S WAY
Did you know God made you and is not against you?
Scientist Isaac Newton said, "In
the absence of any other proof,
the thumb alone would convince
me of God's existence".
It
makes perfect sense to believe that God
exists. He made you to follow Him and He
has a perfect plan for your life.
GOD'S WAY is the best
way. He alone knows how we are most
fulfilled because He made us.
(BIBLE) I am the Lord your God, who
teaches you what is best for you,
who
directs you in the way you should go.
(Isaiah 48:17)
Our
world is a far cry from how God made it.
God's desire has never changed, He still
wants what is best for us. What has gone
wrong?
We don't want what God wants for our lives. We think we know best.
The truth remains the same; God loves us
and still knows and wants
what's best.

MY WAY
Is the way you live your life really
working?
Singer Sinead
O'Connor said, "God is good, we've just
messed up".
She's
right, we have! Our philosophy in life
is "I want to go MY WAY
and do my thing". We have no place for
God in our lives. The Bible
calls this sin. Sin creates a barrier between us and God and it
stops us knowing Him and His way for our
lives. As a result we find it hard,
even absurd, to believe that God exists.
Before the numbers were drawn on the
National lottery, Bob Monkhouse
would say,
"I know I'm a sinner, but make me a
winner".
We treat
sin so lightly but God doesn't. Justice
demands that sin be punished. If we
don't accept God's way of dealing with
our sin whilst
on earth, God will deal with us when we die.
(BIBLE) There is a way which seems right
to a person but the end leads
to death.
(Proverbs 16:25)

ONLY WAY
Did you know that only Jesus can get you
to God?
Tennis star
Michael Chang said, "The money's great
but it won't last.
What will
last is the love of Christ in my heart".
Jesus
Christ is the only way to lasting
fulfilment but more importantly, He's
the ONLY WAY to God.
(BIBLE) Jesus said,
"I am the way, the truth and the life.
No one
comes to
the Father but by me. (John 14:6)
God must
punish sin but He also loves us and
desires our friendship, so He sent Jesus
to die on the cross taking the
punishment we
deserve for our sin. Jesus' death makes it possible for us to be
forgiven and experience the richness of
life with God here on earth. After His
death Jesus came back to life and is now preparing a place in
Heaven for all those who receive God's
forgiveness.
Our
forgiveness cost God His only Son, He
allows no other way.

Do you know that you're going the wrong
way?
When you're on a journey and you realise
that you are going the wrong way, you
would be foolish to keep on going that
way. If you have
realised that you are going the wrong way then you need to
start going God's way.
(BIBLE) But if you don't turn to God and
change the way you think
and act,
you too will all die. (Luke 13:3)
To start
going God's way you need to do a U turn:
Admit
You need
to admit to God and yourself that you
have sinned, that you've left God out of
your life and gone your own way.
Believe
You need to believe that Jesus died for you
on the cross, taking the punishment that
you deserve for your sin, so that you
could be
forgiven by God.
Commit
You
need to commit your whole life to God.
You need to TURN AWAY from living your
life without God and start living it
God's way.
God's way is the best way but it isn't the easiest. Remember
that
God is
with you all the way.

Will you say the prayer below and get
on track?
Father
God
Thank you that
you love me even though I have not loved
you. I know I have lived my life my way
and have left you out. I know that this
has
stopped me having a friendship with you. Please forgive me for
going my own way and doing the wrong
things I've done. Thank you that
Jesus died on the cross and came back to life to take the
punishment for my sin. I commit my life
to you because I now want to live my
life your way. I choose this day to follow you and your plan for my
life. Please send your Holy Spirit to
help me. This I pray with all my heart
and In Jesus name, Amen.
Welcome
to God's family!
Mark
