finding jesus
God loves you and wants you to become His child. He loves you so much that He'd rather die than live without you.
Throughout the Bible, you will find that the continual theme is His love for you. The Father came to this earth in His Son, Jesus Christ. On earth He lived a sinless life, was sentenced to death and died on the cross. On the third day He conquered death by rising from the grave. All so we could have our sins forgiven and live forever with Him in heaven.
God desires you to be His child. We are taught in the Bible that we are born in sin. Because of this, we are eternally separated from Him. However, because of His love for us, He showed us mercy by giving the perfect Lamb - Jesus Christ, His Son as a sacrifice. We need to do our part in coming to know Him. We need to confess our sins before Him and ask for His forgiveness. We then need to receive Him into our lives so we can live with Him forever.
Here are some verses from the Bible to show us about His love for us and what our response needs to be.

we are all sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 - (NASB)
Everyone is born a sinner. We have been separated from God because of sin. Whenever we sense guilt, shame, or regret, it's because of sin in our lives.

there's a penalty for sin
"For the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23 - (NASB)
Just as there are penalties for criminal acts in society, so there's a penalty for not only physical but spiritual death for sin in our lives. If you die, never having done anything about your sin, this surely results in the penalty of going to a place called hell. Hell is eternal separation from God.

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." Romans 5:8,9 - (NASB)
Because of God's love for us, He showed us mercy by sacrificing His Son and the shedding of His blood on the cross. He did this so that we wouldn't have to carry the burden of sin in our lives ever again!

the gift of salvation is free
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8,9 - (NASB)
Today God shows to you grace - which is "undeserved favor". This is freely given and none of us deserve it. We can't earn it, buy it, or work for it in any way. He freely offers it to all who by faith believe in Him.

you must receive him into your life
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name John 1:12 - (NASB)
When you receive Jesus Christ into your life and give Him every aspect of your being, you become a changed person. You now have the privilege of beginning to understand His Word (the Bible) and you can talk with Him all the time about anything. This is what He desires - your fellowship. Now this relationship with Jesus lasts all of life and all of eternity. He says to you..."I will never desert you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 - (NASB)
