God calls you all the time through the Holy Spirit. The greatest thing He has to tell you is that He loves you. You are special to Him. The most important way He shows that love is the Gospel. People try to make it too complicated. It’s not. The Gospel is very simple. It is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins.
Sin means falling short of God’s perfect glory. We each have a sin nature. At the same time, we each fall short of His perfection through thoughts, words, or deeds. So, we commit individual sins. God cannot touch sin. If you have a big fight with a friend, a way needs to be made to bring you back together. In the same way, for us to have a relationship with God, He had to make a way for all our sin to be removed.
That’s a free gift you can claim by faith right now. Accept His death on the cross as the penalty for your sins, and that He rose from the dead. Jesus could take your punishment because He is, and has always been, God. He never sinned. So, He didn’t have to suffer for anything He’d done. He could suffer for your sins instead. When you trust with your whole heart that He did that for you, you not only go to God’s awesome, perfect Heaven someday, you can know Him right here. He is a very personal God.
See, Christianity is different. Every religion is about people trying to please God. Christianity is about how God reached down to our level, because we can’t reach His perfection. We fall way short, no matter how hard we try. When you receive His free gift, by simple faith, you then have a relationship with Jesus, not religion.
