Hunting's Answer

Hunting’s Answer

A Real Problem Just like a hunter is an enemy toward the animal he or she hunts, you were born an enemy of God. You are separated from God by your sin. Sin according to Romans 3:23 is coming up short of God's standard. It is kind of like sighting in a rifle with a bent barrel, no matter how hard you try your not going to hit the target. Or it is like shooting your bow at a target 5 miles away, it is impossible. Your very best cannot measure up to God's standard. Unlike the animals who flee to survive, God comes to you and seeks you out to be a friend.  A Real Friend God doesn't run away from you he seeks to have a relationship with you. You are sinful and God is sinless, yet He loves you as it says in Romans 5:8 "while you are a sinner." God has done everything to have a relationship with you. Jesus wants you to have abundant life as he states in John 10:10. How can you have this life, this relationship? A Real Man! Jesus came to this Earth, lived as a man, was tempted, but never sinned and therefore earned the right to become the perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins. He was persecuted, ridiculed and profaned, for you. He paid what we could not so that He could give us what we could not earn. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Then God said whoever wants to have this relationship may according to Romans 10:13.  A Real Life You must surrender your life to Christ and turn from your sins so that you can have this abundant eternal life. It is really simple. Most can't believe that a relationship can be that simple. God gave us the formula in Romans 10:9-11: 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 with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.  Sample Prayer as a suggestion: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner, I have done wrong, I need you. I confess my sins. Come into my life, wash me clean and give me a real relationship with you. Thank you Jesus, AMEN.
