The Greatest Gift Offered To You By God...
Paul the Apostle expressed the greatest gift made available to ALL mankind, past, present and future when he was writing to those seeking Christ in the ancient town of Corinth, in 1st century, Asia Minor. REMEMBER, Paul wasn't looking for fame, he wasn't looking for "likes," or seeking acceptance. Paul was sharing the TRUTH that literally changed his life FOREVER, and for the BETTER! Paul, literally was executed BECAUSE he wouldn't shut up about what Christ did to RESCUE him and humanity, Paul's head was cut off by a sword.
Now brothers and sisters, let me remind you [once again] of the good news [of salvation] which I preached to you, which you welcomed and accepted and on which you stand [by faith]. By this faith you are saved [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose], if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain [just superficially and without complete commitment].
For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold], and that He was buried, and that He was [bodily] raised on the third day according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold], 5 and that He appeared to Cephas (Peter), then to the [a]Twelve.
If you're in a place where you NEED Christ to step into your life, like RIGHT NOW, then simply pray this and you'll find Christ meeting you right where you ARE:
"LORD, Jesus, I need You change me inside and out; I am a jacked up person, a sinner...a criminal...a lawbreaker according to God; I believe Christ, God's Son, paid the price for ALL my crimes against God and man on the cross; I believe Christ was was buried; and by God's power, Christ was raised to NEW LIFE, the stone was rolled away by God; and Christ appeared to His followers, and many more." "Jesus, meet me, help me, lead me, and teach me Your way, Your Truth and how to live like YOU."
In Christ, ALONE, I pray, Amen...
