There are literally countless reasons why we absolutely need Jesus. Listen up! 1 Let’s look at just a few.
Why we all need Jesus
There was a point in my life
where I was lost for eternity.
I am amazed
what salvation has meant
to me.
What about you?

Why we all need Jesus
Because of who Jesus is
God is One. He mysteriously has revealed Himself in three distinct entities, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I doubt we will ever understand Him, really. God is…so beyond us. God is so much more than we whom He created.
Who is this Jesus, anyway?
…13 Things About Jesus…The Bible shows us (15 things, actually)
What we do know about Him? He Himself revealed it to us in a written record orchastrated over hundreds of years, through special prophets He spoke through. This record, the Bible, contains all we need to know about God in order to believe Him and follow Jesus.
Jesus came down from His Perfect Holy Home, in order to provide salvation to any who would accept Him as Savior and Lord. Whosoever will — may come!
Why we all need Jesus
Because of who I am
Like Adam and Eve and all who lived before I came along, I am not worthy of His Holy Kingdom. His Holy Presence is too good for me to even approach Him – in the natural.
We are the odd creature – are we not!
Odd how some can
make their coffee and tea just right – but collect a mishmash MirWeb– hodgepodge, jumble of conflicting philosophies they approve as “My life guidelines” (not wanting to call it their “faith”, but what else is it?).
Odd how some can
pursue death for 80 to 100 years (or…only 20 years?), and never get their modus operandi MirWeb aligned at all with the God of the Universe, Jesus.

“Ye blind guides,
which strain at a gnat,
and swallow a camel.”
– Matthew 23:24
You carefully build your life, and remove the tiny misconceptions, but then …swallow the big one whole! Want to end up having lived your entire life with a mishmash belief system that fails you eternally? Really want to entrust your eternal soul to THAT? What a losing proposition.
Value your eternity
If you value how you will live in eternity — never trust your soul to anyone else but Jesus Himself. He is the Eternity Maker. The Maker of all that is. And He wants you to live with Him eternally in His Home Heaven.
That other place is reserved for hypocrites and rejectors. They think they are so smart! But they are fools.

My sinfulness is only deserving of His condemnation. I should be relegated to suffer with the Devil. But He did not do that. Jesus saved my soul.
Life Is Short. However short or long my life – it is a temp situation. Life is a tent, not a permanent mansion 2 Corinthians 5:1. I need to be ready to go! That’s why I need Jesus.
Why we all need Jesus
Because of His great love
God is love. I’ll thank Him forever, and forever, and forever, and forever. Always thankful for what He did for me. See: John 3:4-21.
Why we all need Jesus
Because of His amazing grace and mercy
Oh how marvelous is this grace of God. It is His nature to love. He has such undeserved mercy towards us – to save us from destruction. How can anyone refuse Him?
Why we all need Jesus
Because He is mighty to save
God loves each of us. He wants us all. He planned, from way before the foundation of the earth, to call us each to Himself for saving. He is not surprised by my sinful ways. After all, I remind myself, He is omniscient (all knowing), super smart (of course), loving beyond our understanding, merciful, and full of grace.
God is working inside my inner soul, and that of every human — to woo our heart towards Him. This “wooing” MerWeb: to solicit or entreat especially with importunity is like a lover to His beloved one.
lover. See all in one link or: Song of Solomon 8:1, Song of Solomon 5:1, Song of Solomon 1:1-17
God loves me. He wants me. He does not force Himself on any sinner, such as I was “and such were some of you” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-20. I came to know Him from what the Bible teaches 1 Corinthians 1:17-25. We all do.
I accepted His message. And…Jesus saved me. We are all sinners, still, on this earth. The difference is — He has saved some.
What is most important for you now? Check into this, what the Bible tells us: How to accept Jesus.
Why we all need Jesus
Because without Jesus we are lost
What you get because of your sin Titus 2:11-15 TLB — is eternal rejection by Holy God. The flip side? Accept Jesus and He will give you eternal life. Jesus promised He would. What amazing grace! Believe Him. Take Him at His Word.
Tomorrow may never arrive for you. Don’t wait. Now is the acceptable time.

Prepare Your Eternity with great fear and trepidation Excerpt: The Bible contrasts the two sides of eternity: Heaven and Hell. It is extremely advisable to examine our “eternal preparedness”. Are you prepared? Make sure you have correctly interpreted God in His Word. If you have not, there will be Hell to pay. Nobody can accept His salvation – and reject His Words.

…we can become “legally forgiven”
…if we get born again.

The Mystery of Salvation Excerpt:
The death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth
Salvation by God, brought to us through Jesus, was a great mystery throughout Old Testament times (Romans 16:25-27 ASV).
The mystery of salvation was finally revealed through the God-man Jesus Christ during His 33 years on earth. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Judaic sacrificial system, making of Himself the ultimate “once for all” sacrifice for all sin (Hebrews 9:verses 23-28).
The Mystery of the Gospel has been revealed
Back in the day…Salvation was a mystery…The Mystery of Salvation – now revealed
The Messiah has come to earth…He is that “mystery of salvation” – now revealed
The Wonder of the Birth of God…Jesus came down
Oh my God so mighty and beyond comprehension…He mysteriously has revealed Himself
The blessing of God on His chosen people the Jews
Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you…what He did for me. Excerpt: There was a point in my life where I was lost for eternity. I am amazed what salvation has meant to me. What about you?
The Gift by His Precious, Undeserved Grace…this grace so freely given
God’s grace teaches us to reject sin…repent and be saved. Keep your sin – and perish.
