Untouched Angel

I'm sending this to you for a very special reason.............

It is the desire of my heart to have you know how much God cares for you,

and his overwhelming generosity to you through His son, Jesus Christ.

It is His arms that reach out to you today,

to hold you and embrace you in His incredible love.

Jesus is God's gift, and it is through Him alone that each of us can

experience the joy of being forgiven. It is my prayer that

this joy will be yours.

God's Gift is Given Freely...........

Grace is the kindness and favor of God extended to you freely.

Grace is God saying to you,"You can do nothing to earn forgiveness,

I have provided it for you. Come and receive My free gift."

Because of grace there is no debt you need to pay God to be

forgiven....no works to do in order to please Him....no burden to carry

in order to earn His Favor. Grace is the absolute goodness of God poured

generously upon you with kindness to heal your wounds....

with power to renew your strenght...with hope to restore your

soul...with love to make your life new.

To Bring each of us into the joy of being forgiven....

Jesus seeks us out in the spiritual darkness we live in because of

our sin. At the heart of our sin is an attitude that says,

"I want my own way."  Althrough we try and hide

from God because of our sin, He is not hiding from us.

He is standing near us--reaching out with arms of

mercy...inviting us into the marvelous light of His forgiveness and love.

He Came Because We Needed Him......

Jesus came from heaven to earth even through we didn't know how

desperately we needed Him. He came to pay the debt of

sin that we owed, but couldn't pay. He didn't die as a

martyr or as a reformer.  He died to take the judgment for

our sin because that was the only way we could be forgiven.

We were the guilty ones, and He took our place of judgment

on the cross.  The mallet and the spikes were in our hands-

goodness and mercy were in His...rebellion and deceit were in our

nature- grace and truth were in His...hardness and coldness were

in our hearts-tenderness and compassion were in his.

Returning To God's Arms.......

God is the loving Father waiting for His lost child to return home.

In order for us to return to His arms of love and be

fogiven we must turn from our selfish way, and be willing

to be changed.  In our returning we see the light of His

holy love.  It is our need of Him that draws us to the light;

it is our faith in Him that fills our hearts with His light and love.

Everything Starts New...........

When you return to God's caring arms He receives you just as through

you had never sinned.  Because of Jesus' shed blood on the cross,

God can look at your life and declare you guilt free!

Your sins are not only canceled, they are wiped clean;

they are not only forgiven,they are remembered against

you no more.  Christ's blood pardons you,not because you

are innocent, but because He has taken your judgment.

After his death,  Jesus rose from the grave and returned

to heaven. He is alive today so that He can live in you

and make all things in your life new.

You Are Twice The Lord's.................

A young boy made a beautiful toy sailboat and took it to a lake to

sail, but a gust of wind blew the boat out into the lake.The boat

was lost.Several weeks later, the boy saw his sailboat in the

window of a toy store. When he ask for his boat, the store owner said,

"I own the boat now,  If you want it, you will have to buy it back."  The boy

sold all he had to buy his boat. After paying the store owner, the

boy took his boat to his heart and said, " Little boat, you are twice mine. I

made you, and now I bought you." Like that little boat, we are

twice the Lord's-He made us,  and christ bought us back

by paying the price for our sin with His own blood.

How To Be Forgiven......

One of the greatest joys that your heart will ever experience

is fogiveness. Nothing else can set you free from the guilt

of the past, and place your feet on a new path of hope.

Forgiveness comes to you as a free gift from God.

You can not earn it in any way. You must only receive it.

Forgiveness is not based on what you have done,how good

you have tried to be, or how sincere you have been.

Your forgiveness is based on the sacrifice that Jesus Christ has

made for your sins.  It is by His blood alone that you can be forgiven.  Your

forgiveness is only a prayer away. Turn your heart to God,

confess and forsake your sins, and ask Him to cleanse and

forgive you. His Word says that He will do it by His grace and mercy.

As you pray, ask Jesus Christ to live in you and be with you.  He

will be your Lord and Saviour, and His life will make you new.

Forgiven

The picture Forgiven reveals the heart of God toward you.

As you look at the painting you see not only Jesus wrapping His arms

around a fallen man,  you see Him wrapping His arms of

mercy around you. Your eyes say," Jesus is holding a broken sinner."

Your heart says," Jesus is holding me."  When you look at the cross

you will never need to question if He loves you. He came for you-

He died for you- He lives for you. What a tremendous price

has been paid- more than all the riches of all the kingdoms

in all the world.  This price was paid so that you could

know the joy of being forgiven.
