Becoming a Child of God
Dear Friend, Welcome!
I’m so glad you are here. I know you will be blessed because God loves you and He knows you by name, you are very important to Him.
God wants you to be His child, and because of that, He gave Jesus, who has done everything so that you can know God as your Father.
God’s invitation is for everyone—Jew and Gentile and all nations alike.
I truly hope with all my heart that you will respond to Jesus!

The Great Deception
There is a great deception in the world today. Many people believe that everyone is automatically a child of God. Some Jewish people believe that God has a separate plan of salvation just for them. But the Bible teaches that all people—Jew and Gentile alike—are separated from God because of sin and in need of reconciliation with Him.
Across cultures and religions, people hold different beliefs about what happens after death.
Some think they’ll only find out once they die. Others believe there is no God at all.
Many place their hope in God’s mercy and their own good deeds. Others rely on religious leaders, rituals, or simply attending synagogue, church, or spiritual gatherings.
But here’s the sobering reality: when asked, “Can you show me the way to Heaven?”—most people realize they don’t actually know the answer.
The good news is this: God has made the way known. He hasn’t left us to guess or wander.
Through the Scriptures—both the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the New Testament—God has revealed His one plan of salvation for all people.
God Has Made It Crystal Clear
God is both loving and righteous. He has given us the Bible—not just a book written by men, but a book inspired by the Holy Spirit. Its message is unmistakable: humanity has sinned and is separated from God.
Because of sin, our hearts have become hardened and rebellious against God’s ways. Jesus Himself made it clear in the Bible that people live under the power of evil and are subject to God’s judgment.
But in His great love, God gave His One and only Son, Jesus, to reconcile us to Himself. Jesus came to rescue us—because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), and sin separates us from Him. There is a real Hell and there is Heaven for those who receive His gift of salvation.
As Scripture says:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
— John 3:16
No Contradiction — The Bible Is Trustworthy
The Bible has no contradictions and is completely trustworthy. If you build your life on the Bible—the Old and New Testaments seen through the lens of Jesus—you will be safe.
2 Timothy 3:16:
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”
Hebrews 4:12:
“For the word of God is living and powerful, sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating even to dividing soul and spirit.”
Isaiah 46:9-10:
“I am God, and there is no other; I declare the end from the beginning.”
Numbers 23:19:
“God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent.”
God, in His great love and justice, gave us the Bible and faithful servants—evangelists and preachers—to share His message of love, the problem of sin, and salvation through Jesus. He also uses family and friends who have already surrendered their lives to Jesus.
As Scripture says:
“How can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’”
— Romans 10:14–15
You Need to Be Saved (Reconciled to God)
Jew and Gentile – (See tab: “Salvation / I Am a Jew”)
God created you and knows you intimately. He loves you deeply and has a wonderful future planned for your life.
But there is a problem: all people—Jew and Gentile alike—have sinned. We are born with a sinful nature, separated from God and under His judgment.
Sin is what separates us from God. It blinds us to His love and leads to pain, guilt, rejection, and conflict.
God is righteous and holy—He must judge sin. But He is also full of love. Because of His great love, He made a way for us to be reconciled to Him.
That way is through Jesus the Messiah.
Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). He suffered and died on the cross in your place, so that you can be forgiven and become a child of God.
God raised Jesus from the dead—defeating sin and death once for all. Through His resurrection, Jesus is the only way back to God.
“Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
— John 14:6
Whether you are Jew or Gentile, you are deeply valued by God. He does not want to hold your sins against you—He wants to forgive you, restore you, and bring you into a personal relationship with Himself.
This is the Good News:
Jesus died for your sins and rose again so that you can believe, repent, ask for forgiveness, and be reconciled to God.
“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.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”
— John 3:16–17 (NIV)
Right now, Jesus is with you. He is calling you—whether Jew or Gentile—to turn to Him and receive new life.
Will you respond to His invitation and be reconciled to God today?
“Believing in Jesus (Yeshua) is a fulfilment—not a rejection—of the Tanakh and God’s promises to Israel.”
