Jesus Lives! Official Music Video

Copyright 2014 Joe and Rosa Hopkins I was thinking several years ago about the oft quoted phrase 'God is dead' which is attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche and it occurred to me that our God is not dead because Jesus lives! He is sitting at the right hand of God. He rose from the grave after 3 days and because of that we have hope. Our risen Savior is able to save us and give to us eternal life. The song Jesus Lives! was born from this concept. The way to eternal life, plain and simple, is Jesus. Our God's not dead! You can download this song and those off our debut album 'Give Me A Song To Sing' at   / give-me-a-song-to-sing-album   Why do we need salvation? Because of sin. What is sin? The Bible defines sin as the breaking of God's commandments. Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever cheated on a test? Did you ever disobey your parents? Have you ever broken one of the ten commandments? The answer to this is yes. The Bible says 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God'. Romans 3:23. This sin is what separates us from God. 'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord'. So this gospel, or good news is that Jesus came to die on the cross to pay for your sins. He took your punishment; He took your place. 'But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us'. Romans 5:8. Understand that you cannot save yourself. Your good deeds are not enough. Romans 3:10 says 'As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:' You must believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and that He rose again the third day. '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'. Romans 10:9 Jesus paid the price for your sin. A price that you or I cannot pay ourselves. Accept Him as your Savior and you will be forgiven for your sins and will have an eternal home in heaven when you die. Pray to God this prayer in faith. Dear Father, forgive me for my sins. I accept Jesus as my personal Savior and do repent of my sins. I accept His sacrifice as payment for my sins. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Joe and Rosa Hopkins hail from West Virginia.
