Responding to God’s invitation to salvation is the most important thing that anyone can ever do. It’s not enough to believe in God in an abstract or general way; we have to receive this amazing gift through personal faith in Jesus Christ. A person can achieve incredible success in life or reach the peak of their profession, but if they don’t know where they’ll spend eternity, they’ve missed the greatest invitation of all.
The life Jesus offers is all about relationship. Many people faithfully sit in church but have no personal relationship with Jesus. It’s not about joining a club; It’s about falling in love with our Savior—a love that will impact every area of our lives.
Jesus has made the path to heaven as simple and clear as possible. “I am the way” (John 14:6 NLT). Heaven is not the default destination for every human being, but we get to choose it by faith. We are invited to respond to God’s invitation to life.
We can’t even begin to imagine how mind-blowing heaven will be. I want you to be there. God wants you to be there. That’s why Jesus came!”
