“Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” 1 Tim 4:12 Dear Mom, my heart is to come alongside you as you minister to your teenagers during these unprecedented times. Our teens are facing things …
Faith
Faith is complete trust or confidence in Jesus. It is a strong belief in God. Believing He is Who He says He is and will do what He says He will do. Also, believing we are who He says we are. Even though we can’t see Jesus yet, we believe His is real.
God loves us so much. Consequently, there’s no way to fully grasp or explain His great love for us because it cannot be measured. His love is incomprehensible! God not only loves us, He ‘is’ Love.
No matter what you have done, you are not so far gone that God can’t save you! There is nothing you have ever done that is so bad that would make God stop loving you! Before we were even born, God sent His Son to die for us to prepare the way for us to live with Him eternally.
God’s great love
“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 5:8
Invitation to receive Christ into your heart. God sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on the Cross for you and me. Jesus paid your debt … a debt you could never pay yourself. He did this so He wouldn’t have to spend eternity without you. That’s how much He loves you! But this gift of grace and salvation requires a response from you. If your heart is ready, can we lead you in a prayer to receive His gift of salvation now.
Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God.
I believe You died on the Cross to pay my debt for me, a debt that I could never pay. I’m sorry for my sins and repent today. Please forgive me. I am turning away from doing things my own way and asking You to come into my heart. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I make You my Lord and Savior! From this point forward, I want to live my life for You. Thank You for saving me. I receive Your forgiveness!
In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
