The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. In John 3:16, it 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."
When we believe in Jesus and accept Him as our Savior, our lives change. We realize that Jesus died for us, to save us from our sins. In return, we want to live our lives for Him.
In Galatians 2:20, the apostle Paul wrote, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." This means that when we follow Jesus, we try to live according to His teachings and will.
Living for Jesus means loving others, being kind, honest, and forgiving. It means trusting in God's plan for our lives and seeking His guidance every day.
When we live for Jesus, we experience peace, joy, and hope. We know that we are not alone, because Jesus is always with us.
So, if you believe in Jesus, remember that He died for you. Now, live for Him and let His love guide your life.
