You may think, as so many do, that you have to clean yourself up to present yourself to God but...
YOU DON'T...
Just look at this: 

  
 Eph 2:8-9     
Nor do you have to understand it all!
God sent His son
Jesus...as Himself with a wonderful gift (gift means free) for you no matter who you are, what you have done or how bad you have been. We are all sinners but He can offer you the gift of salvation paid in full for you by His death and resurrection. He will give you His perfect pardon, Eternal Life accompanied by the Comforter to stay with you, lead you, and gently encourage you forever.
And it's ALL...
FREE!! with no strings!
Now Isn't That GOOD NEWS?

I listened to a Jewish Christian gentleman make the most profound analogy of the offer of Salvation I have ever heard. He compared Christ to a door-to-door salesman, of all things, saying that He knocks at the door of our hearts and asks permission to come in and show His awesome product, Salvation= Eternal Life, because, He can not show the product unless you invite Him in. You see, neither Jesus Christ or the door-to-door salesman can let you see how their product works if you don't allow them to demonstrate it to you. Now the salesman may be pushy but Christ is NOT!

To accept this free gift, all you have to do is ask Jesus into your life. Just pray something like this: Lord God I realize that I am a sinner. And though I may not understand it all, just the best that I know how, I trust that your son Jesus Christ paid for my sins at the cross, overcame death by rising again and is alive with you. I accept your free gift of Salvation. I invite You to come into my life and show me the way to go from here. In Jesus name I pray. Amen 

 Simple!...Now watch Him give your life a whole new meaning.

 Please let us know if you prayed this prayer. We want to help you in your new life in Christ as our brother or sister. We want you to learn more about God, your Heavenly Father, and his plan for your life and about your new citizenship in Heaven...

Free Gift Ephesians 2:8-9 You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve (grace). This is Gods gift to you, and not anything you have done (worked for) on your own. 9 It isn’t something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about.

Eternal Life/Gospel/faith Romans 1:16 I am proud of the good news! It is God's powerful way of saving all people who have faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles. 17 The good news (gospel) tells how God accepts everyone who has faith, but only those who have faith. It is just as the Scriptures say, The people God accepts because of their faith will live. (have eternal life)

Eternal life Romans 6:23 Sin pays off with death. But Gods gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Grace of God Romans 5:1 By faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God. 2 Christ has also introduced us to Gods undeserved kindness (grace) on which we take our stand. So we are happy, as we look forward to sharing in the glory of God.

Gods Spirit/Comforter  Romans 8:16 Gods Spirit (Holy Spirit) makes us sure that we are his children. 17 His Spirit lets us know that together with Christ we will be given what God has promised. We will also share in the glory of Christ, because we have suffered with him.

Seated w/God Hebrews 12:2 We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew that later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of Gods throne! (after assending into Heaven.

Holy Spirit/Comforter w/you Ephesians 3:16 God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers 17 and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love.

 Trinity 2 Corinthians 13:13 pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will bless you and be kind to you! May God bless you with his love, and may the Holy Spirit join all your hearts together.

Trinity per Jesus Mathew 28:18 Jesus came to them and said:I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth! 19 Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.(Jesus stating the great commision to His disciples as He assended into Heaven)

He's comming back 1Corinthians 15:50-57 My friends, I want you to know that our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means that they cannot share in Gods kingdom, which lasts forever. 51 I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. 52 It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trumpet the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so that we will never die again. 53 Our dead and decaying bodies will be changed into bodies that won't die or decay. 54 The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true, earth has lost the battle! (earthly sin and death) 55 Where is its victory? Where is its sting? 56 Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin. 57 But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory!

Christ comes for the Church 1Thessalonians 4:15-18 With a loud command and with the shout of the chief angel and a blast of Gods trumpet, the Lord will return from heaven. Then those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life. 17 Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky.(the rapture) From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever. 18 Encourage each other with these words.

All sinners Rom 3:10 No one is acceptable to God! Not one of them understands or even searches for God. They have all turned away and are worthless. There isn't one person who does right.

All have sinned Rom 3:23 All have sined and come short of the glory of God.

Jesus knocks at the door Rev 3:20 Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together.

Not willing any perish 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV The Lord is not slack concerning His promice, as some count slackness, but His longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Be ready I'm comming back Luke 12:40 NKJV There you also be ready for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.

I'm preparing a place for you John 14:3 NKJV And I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto Myself that whereI am, there you may be also. 

Citizens of Heaven Ephesians 2:19 NKJV Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.

Has or not, the life 1John 5: 11-12 11 God has also said that he gave us eternal life and that this life comes to us from his Son. 12 And so, if we have Gods Son, we have this life. But if we don’t have the Son, we don’t have this life.

Accepted by Faith (trust) Phil3:9 and to know that I belong to him. I could not make myself acceptable to God by obeying the Law of Moses. God accepted me simply because of my faith in Christ.

Jesus is Lord Romans 10:10 All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, The message is as near as your mouth or your heart. And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, Jesus is Lord, (trust Christ as your Savior) and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10 God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.

Father of lies John 8:44 For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Every Knee will bow PHILIPPIANS 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.

Go into the World Matt 16:15-16 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Without Excuse Romans 1: 19-32 Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, F3 wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Steal, Kill & Destroy John 10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Forgiveness If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9

Rejecting God’s free gift 1John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and his message isn't in our hearts.
Comentary-If we reject Jesus, in essence, we reject God's gift of forgiveness. We are in fact saying that we do not wish to be reconciled with God. Though it is our free choice to not accept forgiveness from God, we will ultimately be accountable for all the sins we have committed at the end of this life. It is God's deep desire to be reconciled with you.

Firstborn of Creation Colossians 1:15-16—"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible...."*
*When the Apostle Paul says that Christ is the firstborn over all creation, he does not mean that Christ is the first created being. For he goes on to explain that Jesus Christ created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. Jesus Christ could not create Himself. The idea among various cults that Christ is the first created being is an impossible absurdity..

In the Beginning John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

I and my Father are one John 10:30 I and My Father are One.

John 3:16 God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.

God Wins Rev 20 1-3 I saw an angel come down from heaven, carrying the key to the deep pit and a big chain. 2He chained the dragon for a thousand years. It is that old snake, who is also known as the devil and Satan. 3Then the angel threw the dragon into the pit. He locked and sealed it, so that a thousand years would go by before the dragon could fool the nations again. But after that, it would have to be set free for a little while.

Not flesh and blood Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

He rose from the dead and was seen by many 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-8 NKJ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

No man comes except through me John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Jesus the Stumbling block 1 Cor 1:23but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;

Angel of light 2 Cor 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

They become Fools Romans 1:22-23 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
