Our Generation

[JCPenny]

People today are being told that they evolved over billions of years into what they are today. They are believing that they are an accident of chance the same as any animal. And if that's true, they don't matter. Their life is just another step in the evolutionary process. No wonder people murder each other! No wonder there are so many depressed people!

These people need to know that they are made by a loving creator who cared enough for them to die in their place. They need to know that they are special, and because they are special they must give account for the actions of their lives.

Romans 3:23- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 3:10- As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 6:23- For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We are all sinners. Our actions affect more than just ourselves. We will be judged for the lives we live.

Romans 5:8- But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 14:6- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The God who made the entire world in 6 days took 9 months to make you how you are, and he loved you enough to die for your sins. He will fogive you and make you clean if you will let him.

Ephesians 2:8-9- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Acts 16:31- And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

1 John 5:12- He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

You cannot earn it. You cannot be good enough, or smart enough, or rich enough. And that the blessing of a loving creator! No matter where you are, or who you are, or your station in life- you can be saved!

Romans 10:9-10- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

You can be saved, if you'd like to be.

And if you are already saved, it's your job to tell others. Don't let them think they are an accident that doesn't matter. Someone cared enough to tell you!
