How you can know Jesus

The gold color represents God, the creator of all, who lives in heaven. The Bible says that God is Light and in Him there is no darkness - God is Perfect! God loves you and He wants to have a personal relationship with you. Jesus is God's son. The Bible says that Jesus and God are One.
The dark color represents Sin, which is doing wrong things. God says that all have sinned and fall short of God's standard of perfection. (Romans 3:23) Sin separates us from God. The Bible says that the penalty for our sin is death or separation from God forever.

How can your sins be removed so that you can know God?

The red color represents Jesus' blood. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, but He died on a cross to pay the penalty for all of our sins. Again, the payment for sin is death, so Jesus paid the penalty for each of us. Why? The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life" (with God). (John 3:16) The Good News is that you don't have to be separated from God forever by sin!
The white color represents each of us after our sins are washed away by Jesus. How can Jesus wash our sins away? When we believe in Jesus by following Him, our sins are forgiven. The Bible says, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:19)

Do you want to accept Jesus' gift of forgiveness by believing in Him?

If you want to accept Jesus now all you have to do is pray. "God, thank you for loving me. I confess that I have sinned against You. I believe that Your Son Jesus died on a cross to pay for my sins. I also beleive that You raised Jesus from the dead. I now put my faith only in Jesus to forgive me and save me from my sins. I confess that Jesus is Lord! Thank you for your gift of eternal life. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen."
The green color represents growth in your relationship with God. God wants you to love Him and love people. "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. The second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as your self." (Mark 12:30,31) You need to read the Bible daily to learn more about God. You need to pray to God daily to share your thoughts with Him and seek His guidance in your life. You need to be baptized to let others know the decision that you have made in your heart. You need to find a Bible believing church to hang out with other Christians for encouragement. Lastly, you need to share the Good News with others that Jesus can forgive sins when you trust in Him.
