My Path To Jesus
The Full Story
Salvation
God loves you and offers an exciting plan for your life.
God’s Love
Knowing Jesus personally is the act of being saved or to accept the gift of salvation from Jesus. It is the gift Jesus gives us through His sacrifice of dying on the cross and shedding His blood to deliver our souls from sin and its consequences.
​
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 3:16)
God’s Plan
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

All of us have sinned and that has separated us from God.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Sin is when we disobey God’s instructions for our lives. God’s instructions are found in His Word called the Bible. God desired a restored relationship with us and He did this by providing a sacrifice, His only Son, Jesus. (Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to understand the life of Jesus and how His life and blood brought atonement for our sins and restored our relationship with God.)
Jesus is God's only provision
for our sin.
Jesus died in our place
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus rose from the dead
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen . . . of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; . . .” (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).
Jesus is the only way to God
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
​
God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found was blind but now I see.

Was Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed.
