The Werner Nachtigal Stephan Gängel Greatest story ever It´s your story! GOD LOVES ME This story is the greatest ever told. It is a love story and a tragedy, all rolled up into one. It is your story, it is my story, and at the same time, it is God’s story. Out of love, God has already done so much for you. The Bible presents a fascinating account of reality. It shows us a loving God who created everything – from the endless universe to the tiny ant. And he also made you and me. When this story started, there were no wars; there was no injustice, no sickness and no sin. Man lived in paradise, in harmony with his Creator. God created man for a relationship with himself. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Genesis 1:31 I HAVE SINNED The greatest drama in the history of mankind happened right at the beginning. Human beings chose to separate themselves from their loving Creator and go their own way. We can see the consequences of that decision in the world around us today: instead of living in peace and harmony with each other, we are troubled by hatred, jealousy, sickness and war. But the scariest of all those tragedies is our eternal separation from God. Since then, we have been looking for happiness and inner peace. We can only ind true freedom and happiness in a relationship with God. There is no one righteous, not even one. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:10+23 JESUS DIED FOR ME God has already performed the greatest act of love mankind has ever seen. 2,000 years ago, Jesus came into this world. Everything about him was extraordinary: his birth, his life, his death and his resurrection. He was the only person to have ever lived a perfect life. You can never live up to God’s requirements! God is holy and he cannot tolerate sin. So here comes your chance: Jesus died on the cross for you, so that you can be forgiven for everything. So that you can have peace with God and eternal life. This is the greatest love of all time. It is the foundation of God’s plan to save you. Put your life in God’s hands and you will realize why you are here on earth and where you are going. 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 GET TO KNOW GOD Jesus came to restore the broken connection between God and mankind. Jesus loves you with a never-ending love; he gave everything he had for you. He took the punishment for your sin that would otherwise separate you from God. But that was not the end of the story. On the third day, God raised his Son from the dead. God knows you. His plan for you is the best there is. Jesus is here right now. He is waiting for you to make the most important decision of your life. What will you decide? I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 WHAT IS YOUR DECISION? Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. I believe that you died for my sins. Please forgive me and come into my heart. I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are here right now. Come and be my Lord and Savior. I want to follow you. Amen. These are the important basics of a Christian life: 1.
