Who is Jesus Christ? Is Yeshua (Hebrew for Jesus) really the promised Messiah of Israel (Hebrew for Christ) of the Old Testament? Is Jesus Christ truly the Son of God literally God Himself, the Divine living within human flesh? Were Jesus Christs claims that of a Liar or Lunatic or is He really Lord of the universe? You may want to take a tour of some of the major highlights of Jesus life. Or you may want to preview what people were saying before Christ was born. Of course, you may want to check out Jesus claims about himself. Some may be interested in learning about the muscle Jesus exercised and the miracles he performed. Knowledgeable people will agree that Jesus Christ has made quite an impact on the world. You may even come to learn that Yeshua is indeed the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. If you prefer, you can take time to further investigate Jesus Christs claims in the New Testament. But after all is said and done, the key question for you is, What does all this information about Jesus Christ have to do with my life? Or, you may have other questions. The following describes how you can begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ today, experience forgiveness of your sins, receive eternal life, and gain a whole new purpose for living.
Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God.
1. God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

God's Love
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 NIV).
God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10). Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because...
2. Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Man Is Separated
"The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).
This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as seeking to lead a good life, philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails. The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf...
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
4. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
