Discover Life!
Most individuals want to better this world and their own lives. Why? Because they realize that the world isn't as it ought to be. It's as yet broken from various perspectives, as are we. We're all piece of the narrative of reclamation and recuperating that God has been composing since the start of Creation.
I. Created For Life.
God made us for life minus all potential limitations. To know Him and with nothing dividing us. Never harming others or being harmed. To appreciate the ideal world He made for us. To be alive with happiness, reason and importance every day.
"Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being"
Genesis 2:7
II. Isolated From Life
Be that as it may, we weren't content. The first set of humans turned their back on God and the amazing life He was putting forth to us. That is the way death and agony and evil and loneliness appeared on the scene. With one insubordinate decision, our relationship with God was separated. "Not reasonable," we may state. However, we're all sinners. Deep down , we know we do a similar thing: we jump at the chance to put ourselves first, choose our own way over God's.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23
III. Reestablished For Life
It's Jesus who can breath life into us back. On the cross, the Son of God took our death. He paid the full price of a debt he did not owe, for all our rebellion and vanquished evil. At that point He proved he defeated death by returning to life. Presently He offers full, genuine life to any individual who will trust in Him and in what He did for us. It's an unconditional gift if love however regardless it costs us our pride. We're spared when we quit attempting to save ourselves and rather trust Jesus enough to give Him everything.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
John 10:10
"but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
2 Timothy 1:10
IV. Choose Life
You have a decision. Starting here on your life can go in one of two directions: Stay responsible for your life, isolated from the magnificent life Jesus is putting forth you.
Or on the other hand
Give your life to Jesus and find a relationship with God that begins to transform you from the inside out. You'll know purpose and importance and experience the delight of being forgiven. You'll begin to discover healing from your past and figure out how to truly love. You'll be completely alive.
VI. Step by step instructions to CHOOSE THAT LIFE
Reveal to God you are profoundly unhappy for your transgressions—that you've experienced your own particular manner and hurt others.
Recognize that Jesus died to pay for all the ways you've been selfish.
Trust that Jesus became alive once again to offer you new life.
Ask Jesus to take control from your life so you can love others as He does
"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9
Here's a recommended prayer to enable you to give your life to Jesus:
"God, I've done life my way for a really long time. I trust that Jesus kicked the bucket to free me from my selfishness. If you don't mind pardon my transgressions. Much thanks to you that Jesus didn't remain dead. You raised Him to life. I acknowledge the unconditional gift of new life with You. My life is currently Yours. Enable me to live Your way. So shall it be in Jesus name, Amen!"

Certainly sin takes us away from the purpose that God had for us for our lives. but he did not give a way out and a way Jesus Christ.
