💌 To My Dear Friend: God’s Invitation and the Real Life the Gospel Offers
❓ Who am I? Why should I live?
“Who am I? Why do I exist?”
If you’ve ever asked yourself this question even once,
this message is for you.
This isn’t just about religion —
it’s the true story about God, life, purpose, and eternity.
💛 1. God is the Creator with no beginning and no end
God wasn’t made by anyone.
He exists by Himself — the Almighty God who created everything.
Time, space, nature, humanity...
everything was created according to His plan.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
— Jeremiah 1:5
God created you in love
and gave your life meaning and purpose.
Through Jesus, He invites you to live a truly full life.
🖤 2. We try to live without God
Every one of us is born with a sinful nature.
We may look fine on the outside,
but behind lies, hatred, jealousy, and greed
is pride — the desire to live apart from God.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23
God gave us the freedom to love Him or leave Him.
But the first humans, Adam and Eve,
chose to follow their own thoughts instead of God's word.
Because of that choice, sin entered the world.
❤️✝️ 3. Jesus took our place for sin
“The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,
and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”
— Hebrews 9:22
The price of sin is death.
To be forgiven, a sacrifice — the shedding of blood — is required.
God loved the world that was heading toward destruction,
so He sent Jesus to earth.
Jesus is the Son of God,
and at the same time, He is God.
He died on the cross in our place,
taking on all our sins, and rose again after three days.
“For 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
“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
— John 14:6
⚪ 4. Believing in Jesus starts a new life 😊
When you believe in Jesus and receive Him (as Lord in your heart),
your sins are completely forgiven,
and you become spiritually reborn.
From that moment on, as a child of God,
you begin eternal life.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
“To all who did receive Him,
to those who believed in His name,
He gave the right to become children of God.”
— John 1:12
💚🌿 5. A journey of discovering your true self with God
The moment you believe in Jesus,
the Spirit of eternal life (🕊️ the Holy Spirit) enters you and lives with you.
You are saved and begin to live eternally.
Salvation and eternal life don’t end the moment you believe,
nor do they break off in the middle.
Instead, life continues as we experience
big and small moments of salvation along the way.
Jesus accomplished salvation once for all,
and we receive it by faith.
But the fruit of that salvation becomes visible and grows in our lives.
“In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.”
— Proverbs 16:9
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
— Deuteronomy 6:5
Walking with God
isn’t just about “being good.”
It’s a life of knowing God more each day
and becoming more like Him.
By reading the Bible, praying, worshiping, and living in community,
we come to understand God’s love, His will, and His heart more deeply.
In His grace, we live from now on — forever —
with gratitude and awe, enjoying the gift of eternal life.
🙏 If you want to return to God, try praying like this:
God, I am Your creation.
Though my sin has separated me from You,
I believe that Jesus died for me and rose again.
Please come into my life and make me new.
I want to live a true life with You.
I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
