What
Is Covenant Keepers?
We
believe that God's Word supplies all the answers needed
to enable a loving relationship that glorifies God.
Through
our semi-annual publication of Covenant Keepers we
strengthen the Biblical approach to counseling marriages.
Through
seminars and workshops, we provide the Body of Christ with
the principles and practical application of God's Word for
marriage.
Ever
wonder if God loves you?
God Does Love You!
How
can you know for sure?
Will
you take a few minutes to read this message, so I can explain
what the Bible teaches about God's love?
The
Bible tells us that "God is love." This is
His character and nature. Because He is love, He desires to
reach out and communicate this love and establish a personal
relationship with you.
Be
assured that His love for you is more than just words in some
book that say "I love you." He has proven His love
for you by demonstrating it before the eyes of all men.
God
sent His Son to earth two thousand years ago to show mankind,
once and for all, that He does really love them. He sent Jesus
to share the message of the Father's desire to love, forgive,
and restore all men to Himself. But there is a problem. All
men are separated from God because of their sin, but Jesus
came to fix this and make a way back for any who would respond
to Him. By His death on the cross. For you see, death is the
penalty for sin. But because God loves you, He let His Son
take the penalty for your sin. The death of Jesus on the cross
was God saying to you, " I love you. I want you. I
don't want to condemn you, but to forgive you!"
It
is God's love that longs to forgive you and set you free from
your guilt and the sin that separates you from really experiencing
His love. Don't settle for the many substitutes the world
has to offer. His love is the only thing that can satisfy
you. Have you ever thought something was missing in your life?
Have you ever thought there must be something more to life?
There is. It's receiving His love!
We've
all searched for that something we knew was missing.
We didn't know what it was, but we knew we weren't satisfied.
We have tried filling that emptiness with the things the world
has to offer, but none of them ever really satisfied. You
can try alcohol, drugs, money, or material things, but real
satisfaction and peace of mind won't be found there. You must
see that what's missing is just a love relationship with your
heavenly Father.
The
only thing that keeps you from experiencing this love relationship
is your choice to disobey and live independent of Him. Only
you can choose to trust, obey, and surrender to Him. If you
want a relationship with Him, you must ask Him to come in
to your life.
Please,
don't turn His love away. Give Him a real chance to reveal
His love to you. He's trying to get His message to you right
now. God is saying "I Love You! I died for you! Open
your heart to me, and let me love you!" God is reaching
out to you right now through this message. Will you listen
to His voice?
Are
you willing today to give Jesus the opportunity to love you?
Will you choose to ask His forgiveness right now? Are you
willing to turn completely from your sinful and independent
lifestyle? If you are, pray this prayer and let God's
love touch you and fill you today!
"Dear
Father, I know I have sinned. I believe Jesus died for me.
Forgive me right now. I choose to turn from my rebellion against
You. Jesus, please come into my heart and take over my life.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to serve You. In
Jesus' name I pray."
If
you prayed this prayer please e-mail me (scarrck@lightspeed.net)
and let me rejoice with you in your new relationship with
Him. Also, I would like to send you a free study guide to
help you take your next steps with Him. We love you and desire
to help you in any way we can.
