Introduction. Jesus said, "You must be born again." Absolutely nothing is more important in life than being born again of the Spirit of God, knowing Him personally, being saved from eternal death and judgement, and knowing for sure that you are going to heaven, experiencing God's pardon, purpose, peace, power. These are all a blessing of grace (unmerited favor) provided by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (Hebrew: YeshuahaMeschiah).
This is the "gospel," which literally means "good news." It truly is "the most joyful news ever announced," as the angels proclaimed at His birth some 2,000 years ago.
Some say that this free gift of grace offered by God is too good to be true. Well, it is good, and it is true. Only an infinitely loving and all-powerful God could have conceived of this! Others say that all this surely cannot be free, and we have to add something to it. Cults and non-Christian religions always try to add to it, an offense to God and what His Son did. There is nothing we can add to His great sacrifice.
Why did God do it? Because He loves you, and He wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven. Don't miss out!
