From all eternity, Jesus resolved to go to Jerusalem knowing He would suffer and die. His first coming was humbly riding on a donkey - the humble King! He would be "crowned" with thorns banged on His head.
..the WORD was God. He who has seen me has seen the Father. I and the Father are one. He is the true God and eternal life. I am the resurrection and the life. you a mere man claim to be God. Jesus asked, "Who do you say I am?"

1) FOR THE FULL GOSPEL READ:
2) SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST:
A Matter of FAITH:
What do you think it takes for someone to get to heaven? Is it luck? Good deeds? Nothing at all? Or is there something more?
The Bible has the answer to this question. It's a matter of F-A-I-T-H
"F" stands for FORGIVENESS:
We cannot have eternal life without God's forgiveness.
Ephesians 1:7a in the Bible says, "In Him (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins."
"A" is for AVAILABLE:
Forgiveness is available for all. John 3:16 says,
"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." But forgiveness is not automatic.
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven," says Matthew 7:21a.
"I" is for IMPOSSIBLE:
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven because of who He is and because of who we are.
God is loving and just, but His judgment is against sin.
James 2:13a says, "Because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful."
We are sinful people. Romans 3:23 tells us,
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
"T" is for TURN:
To turn means to repent. We can repent -- or turn -- from our sin and from ourselves.
"But unless you repent, you too will all perish," says Luke 13:3b.
We can also turn to Someone - to Christ & trust Christ alone. Romans 10:9 tells us how:
"That 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."
"H" is for HEAVEN:
Heaven is where Jesus is. Jesus is "Eternal Life" and that means life "to the full.", "His Life", "the Life of God."
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10b)."
In the hereafter, it means the promise of heaven:
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am" (John 14:3).
What a wonderful thought: "to be fully in the presence of Jesus eternally and to live in the place He has prepared for us".
Now, take the step of faith described by another meaning of FAITH: FORSAKING ALL I TRUST HIM
To become a Christian pray this prayer (from the heart):
"Lord Jesus, I agree with Your Word and know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin, and only through faith in Your shed blood shed on the cross can I be forgiven. I also know that only through faith in Your resurrection can I have eternal life in You. I repent and turn from my sin and ask You to come into my heart and life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You through the Power of Your Holy Spirit. Jesus fill me with Your Holy Spirit from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me and filling me with Your Holy Spirit. You are so good!! In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen."

3) THE ROMAN'S ROAD (Gospel of Jesus Christ):
The Problem of Sin:
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
The Wages of Sin:
Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death…”
The Love of God:
Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
The Free Gift of Salvation:
Romans 6:23b “But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Accepting the Free Gift:
Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved."
Romans 10:13 "For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

If you wish to have forgiveness of sin and eternal life in Christ Jesus, you can pray (from the heart):
"Lord Jesus, I agree with Your Word and know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin, and only through faith in Your shed blood shed on the cross can I be forgiven. I also know that only through faith in Your resurrection can I have eternal life in You. I repent and turn from my sin and ask You to come into my heart and life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You through the Power of Your Holy Spirit. Jesus fill me with Your Holy Spirit from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me and filling me with Your Holy Spirit. You are so good!! In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen."
