FOR TEENAGE GIRLS
GOD
LOVES YOU, HE REALLY DOES, by Daniella Whyte
Scripture Says:
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
--1 John 3:1
If you do not get anything else from this book, I want you to know that God loves
you. He really does. He loves you more than you love yourself. He loves you so much
that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to live, to suffer, to shed His blood, and
to die a cruel death on Calvary for your sins and for mine. He loves you so much that
He allowed His Son to die, so that you could live in Heaven forever with Him.
The Bible tells us in John 3:16 how much God loves us: "For God so loved
the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life." Someone asked "How much does
God love us?" The reply was: "He stretched out His arms and died." That is how much
God loves us and that's a whole lot of love.
In order to understand how much you need Jesus Christ, you must first accept the fact
that you are a sinner, just like me and everyone else. Romans 3:10 says: "There
is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God." At one point or another in each of our
lives, we have all done things that displease God and that make Him sad.
Second, you must accept the fact that there is punishment for sin. Romans 6:23 says:
"For the wages of sin is death." But the good news is: "the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Because we have sinned
and broken God's heart, we do not deserve the gift of Heaven. In fact, we deserve
death as mentioned above. God wants to save you from your sin.
Third, you must accept the fact that Jesus is the only Somebody Who can save you.
The Bible says in Acts 4:12: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there
is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Jesus
said in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the father, but by me."
Jesus Christ, God's only Son, loves you so much that He took the pain and scorn and
died a cruel death on the cross of Calvary. He bled for your sins, He was buried,
and on the third day, He rose by the power of God for you and for me. The Bible says
in Romans 10:9 & 13: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved." "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Sister, if you believe that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose by the power of
God for your sins, and if you want to experience the peace, love, joy, and eternal
life that only Jesus Christ can give, please pray the following prayer:
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that I have broken Your heart by breaking
Your commandments. I also now know that You love me so much that you chose to die
a cruel death on Calvary to save my soul. Jesus, I am sorry for all of my sins, please
come into my heart right now, save my soul, and reign in my life forever. Thank You
for hearing my prayer and thank You for saving me. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Amen.
Congratulations, on making that all important decision and I am glad that you are
now a part of the Family of God.
CELEBRATE
Go out and buy the song, A Sinner's Prayer by Deitrick Haddon. As you listen to it,
pray, and thank God for saving your soul. After you finish, go and tell someone else
about Jesus Christ.
THINK ABOUT IT
"When God saves us, our sins are forgiven and forgotten forever."
"GRACE = God's Riches at Christ's Expense... And He paid full price for it."
--Walter S. Thomas
"Jesus took our place that we might have His peace; He took our sin that we might
have His salvation."
 The
Girl God Wants: Sister-to-Sister Talk About Loving God, Living a Great Life, and Enjoying
It
by Daniella Whyte
Price: $10.99
Society
throws a lot of ungodly stuff at young ladies today, and it is hard to find things
that can empower them to godliness and greatness. In The Girl God Wants, author, Daniella
Whyte, (age 14 when she commenced the writing of this book), helps young ladies with
some of the issues that they face today. Oftentimes, it is easier for teenagers to
relate to each other, and they are sometimes more eager to listen to the advice of
their peers. With appealing chapters and her sister-to-sister style, Daniella shows
young ladies how much God loves them and how to discover their gifts and purpose in
life. In The Girl God Wants, young ladies will be encouraged to memorize Scripture
through the "Scripture Says" section in each chapter. They will be motivated to act
on their faith through the "Celebrate" section at the end of each chapter. They will
also be challenged by the "Think About It" sections placed throughout the book. By
the time a young lady completes this book, she will know: who she is in Christ, what
her purpose is in life, and where her obedience to God can take her, and she will
be The Girl God Wants. Here are just a few of the chapter titles that will encourage
you to be The Girl God Wants: God Loves You, He Really Does Walking on Water: Becoming
a Woman of Faith Discovering Your Destiny Living on Purpose Big Dreams are a Big Deal
Be a Tough-Minded Teen The Hidden Power of Purity To Date or Not to Date Ladies Always
Lead Live a Great Life and Enjoy It!
