Jesus Is the Answer

Why me? How will I get through this? What is wrong with me?

In a world full of so many questions, it seems impossible to have all the answers. But that’s exactly who Jesus is: the answer.

Jesus came to this earth to rescue us from a world full of sin, obstacles and suffering. Essentially, He was God’s answer to all the questions we deal with. Since He is holy and all-knowing, Jesus can see the future when we can’t. Whatever we’re facing, whatever the issue is, He already knows and can guide us through it.

That doesn’t mean we won’t have troubles in this world or wonder why bad things happen. But it does mean we have Someone to turn to in the midst of it. Another name for Jesus is Emmanuel, which means “God with us,” and He is with us always—even during the hard times. His presence in our lives can make a huge difference in how we see the problems before us and how we handle them, being confident of His love for us no matter what.

It’s because of that unconditional love that Christ even gave up His life for us—then defeated death by rising again—so that we can live life to the fullest and someday spend eternity with Him away from all the problems of this world.

As questions race through your head today, keep your focus on Jesus Christ, who is God in human flesh and the ultimate answer. As the Bible puts it, “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:6).

These promises are meant for you today. Read the following truths to see how you can have a relationship with Jesus, who wants to be with you every step of the way.

Will you let Jesus be your answer?

Step 1 – God’s Purpose: Peace and Life

God loves you and wants you to experience peace and eternal life—abundant and eternal.

The Bible says:

"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:1

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

"I [Jesus] came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10

Why don’t most people have this peace and abundant life that God planned for us to have?

Step 2 – The Problem: Sin Separates Us

God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and freedom of choice. We choose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God.

The Bible says:

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23

Our choice results in separation from God. People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God...

The Bible says:

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."
Proverbs 14:12

"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear."
Isaiah 59:2

No bridge reaches God... except one.

Step 3 – God’s Remedy: The Cross

Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.

The Bible says:

"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
1 Timothy 2:5

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God."
1 Peter 3:18

"But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8

God has provided the only way... Each person must make a choice...

Step 4 – Our Response: Receive Christ

We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation.

The Bible says:

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me."
Revelation 3:20

"But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God."
John 1:12

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?

Here is how you can receive Christ:

We suggest a prayer like this one:

"Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus' Name, amen."
