Henry: Linda, I’ve found a reason for living. Jesus has turned my life around.

Linda: WHAT??

Henry: Now I’m going to be the husband and father that God intended me to be.

Linda: I can see something different, Henry. Great! But what does that do to solve my problem? My life’s been a living hell ever since I can remember.

Linda: It’s gotten to the point where I hate you, I hate Lisa, and, most of all, I hate myself! Henry, I’m not blind. I know what’s been going on. I went through it myself years ago, thanks to my “1%” uncle. I just didn’t want to believe it was going on in my home.

Linda: I couldn’t face it. That’s why I’ve stayed away from you as much as I could.

Henry: But don’t you see, Linda? That only made the situation worse.

Linda: I know it… But I was so angry I began taking my frustration out on Lisa. And I really hurt her, Henry. It’s like I’m out of control.

Linda: Something’s got to stop this nightmare because the girls are suffering… I’m afraid Lisa’s mind could be scarred for life.

Henry: Linda, only Jesus can stop it, but you’ve got to let Him straighten out this mess.

Linda: I want to be forgiven too, Henry. But how do you pray? Help me to know Jesus.

Henry: All right, Linda. I’ll pray and you follow.

Linda: Okay.

[10 minutes later]

Linda: Oh, Henry, God has forgiven both of us. I feel like a new person. I love you and I love Lisa. Will she ever forgive us? We must never hurt her again.

Henry: We won’t, honey.

Linda: Lisa… Lisa… come here.

Linda: We’ve got wonderful news, Lisa. Your daddy and I will never hurt you again!

Lisa: Really?

Linda: Really, Honey. We love you, and Jesus does too.

The Bible says there’s only one way to heaven

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the father, but by me.” John 14:6

Nobody else can help you.

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

“For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

What you must do:

1. ADMIT you are a sinner, and that only the Lord Jesus can save you. (Romans 3:23)

2. REPENT: be willing to turn away from sin and submit to God. (See Luke 13:5)

3. BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross and shed his blood to pay the price of your sins, and that he rose again. (See Romans 10:9)

4. ASK God to save you. (See Romans 10:13)

5. ASK Jesus Christ to be the Lord (take control) of your life. (See Romans 12:1-2)

If you really made Jesus your lord (king) then act like it!

1. Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.

2. Talk to God in prayer every day.

3. Find a church where the Bible is taught as the complete Word of God and is the final authority.

4. Obey Christ’s command and be baptized. (See Matthew 26:19)
