And what is even more sad is that people actually look for fulfillment
and meaning in these things. They look for happiness in cars, houses,
success, sex, money, and more money. They quickly find out, though,
that life is about far more than success and gaining material things.
They realize that what they are really searching for is happiness,
joy, love, internal peace and assurance for the future — all things
that money can't buy.
These things last forever and keep our hearts at rest during times of
turmoil and conflict. Money cannot buy such things. Only a person can
give them to us. And that person is Jesus Christ.
Christ alone can give us peace and joy. In John 16:33, He said, "…in
me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome the world." He also said in John 15:11,
"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full."
Christ alone can love us unconditionally with a love that never ends.
Romans 8:38-39 says, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
Christ alone can give us eternal life. In John 10:28, he said, "I give
unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any
man pluck them out of my hand."
Christ alone can give us rest and set our hearts at ease in this
turbulent world. In Matthew 11:28-29 he said, "Come unto me, all ye
that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls."
You can have all of these things that money can't buy by giving your
life to Jesus Christ today. No matter how much money you have, you
will never gain these things that matter most. Let Jesus take over and
let Him provide fulfillment, happiness, joy, peace, love, and eternal
assurance about your future in a way you can only dream of.
If you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, please take the following steps.
First, recognize that your sins have separated you from God. Our sins
are the bad or wrong things that we do. In honest repentance, agree
with God about your sinfulness and admit your need for forgiveness. 1
John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he [God] is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Because of our sins, we are automatically sentenced to die and go to
an awful place called hell. The Bible says in Romans 6:23 that "the
wages of sin is death." Revelation 21:8 says, "But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death." This is what happens to those who die without giving their
life to Jesus Christ while they have a chance.
Second, realize that God loves you, and believe that his sinless Son,
Jesus Christ, died for our sins –taking the punishment that we
deserve. John 3:16 says, "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." Because of Jesus Christ's sacrificial
death on the cross, we do not have to go to Hell. We can be saved from
that terrible place.
Third, accept Jesus Christ's invitation to receive salvation by
trusting him by faith to be your Savior. Romans 10:9 & 13 says, "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 whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved."
If you trust Jesus Christ for salvation, you will be saved from sin,
spiritual death, and hell, and you will be guaranteed a place in
Heaven. You will find that Jesus Christ is the source of all peace,
love, joy, fulfillment in this life, and eternal life — all things
that money can't buy. If this is your heart's desire, you can pray a
short prayer to let God know about your decision:
Heavenly Father, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have sinned
against you. For Jesus Christ's sake, please forgive me of all of my
sins. I now believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died, was
buried, and rose again for me. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart,
save my soul, change my life, and fill me with your Holy Spirit today
and forever. Amen.
If you just trusted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, and you prayed that
prayer and meant it from your heart, I declare to you that based upon
the Word of God, you are now saved and you are on your way to Heaven.
Welcome to the family of God! I want to congratulate you on doing the
most important thing in life and that is receiving Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Saviour. Go to any bible believing church and live a
godly life. Read the Bible and Pray everyday
Believe by faith. Share the faith. And keep the faith! God Bless You!
