Why did Jesus come to the earth?

Jesus came into the earth to identify with us, to redeem us, to show His love for us, because we are valuable to Him. There has never been a more passionate, intimate redemption story than the life, crucifixion , and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because He loves me so much, it is easy for me to love Him and appreciate everything He has done for me in my life.

He gives me hope, because I can see the way the world is and it how is not getting better. I know that He is coming back to show the world how we should live, love and respect one another. He brings peace to my heart, because so many things have happened in my life that was stressful, painful, and confusing. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I have come to terms with many of the things that have happened in my life; I made the decision to forgive the people who have hurt me, have learned to love myself and I also had to forgive myself for my own mistakes. He has healed my body, my heart, and my mind. I like to spend time alone with Him reading the word, in prayer,in meditation, singing and worship. The best part is when I feel His love and approval. He is a wonderful Father and Friend.

Jesus came to the earth to show us what God is like, so that we could talk with Him, touch Him, and fellowship with the Creator of the universe.He came first to His people Israel to fulfill His promise to them, and to redeem the rest of the world. He knew that many people would reject Him,but He also knew that He would find acceptance from those looking for a better life and a better world. He chose to sacrifice Himself to save all those who would accept His gift of eternal life; His death and resurrection was planned before the foundation of the world. His plan was genuine, unique and perfect for the situation, for his poor children who could not save themselves.

He taught His disciples what it would mean to become a citizen in the kingdom of God and the price they would have to pay to do things God's way.Not everybody is happy with the idea of doing the right thing, especially if it means self sacrifice; the example of His life showed them how to live peaceful Godly lives. We love Him because He didn't mind coming down to our level and showing us what we could accomplish if we chose to live and abide in Him. Anything is possible, if you can follow the Holy Spirit's lead, and serve the Lord, and show His love to the people in your life.

Matthew Ch 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Make Jesus the Lord of your life, give Him a chance to show His love for you, and He will comfort you, heal you, erase the hurt and confusion in your heart and you will receive everlasting peace, joy and life in His presence , forevermore............

If you are not a christian, and you want to have a close intimate relationship with Him, then repeat the prayer of salvation:

Prayer of Salvation

Lord,

I repent for trying to be master of my own life. I change my mind about who I want to be in charge of my life. I turn from my useless and unproductive thoughts that I am the center of my universe and choose to believe in the living God who created everything, including me (Acts 14:15). I have lived without a purpose but now I will live to hear and obey You, God (Jn. 5:19, 20,30).

I confess with my lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I believe that God so loved the world He sent His only Son Jesus to shed His blood to wash away the barrier of sin (Jn. 3:16)

I receive You, Jesus as MY Lord and Savior (Jn. 1:11,12).

I welcome You, Holy Spirit, into my life to rescue and empower me and to restore me to intimacy with my heavenly Father (Acts 2:38).

If you just confessed this prayer, you are saved! I welcome you into the family my (brother/sister) I pray for peace, joy, and happiness in your life as you allow the Lord to love you and bless you and give you assurance of everlasting life with Him forever and ever......PRAISE GOD!

May the Lord keep you and Bless you this day....Amen
