Tract Text

In the previous movie, Bruce Almighty, TV station newsman Evan Baxter was being tormented by rival Bruce Nolan.

In Evan Almighty, time has passed, Evan and Bruce have made up, and Evan has moved on to bigger and better things. He has been elected as a congressman and moved to Washington , D.C. ! Evan has left Buffalo , New York in pursuit of this greater calling. But God has another calling for Evan, and it isn’t serving in America ’s politics. As incredible as it may seem, the Almighty has handed Evan the mission of building a new ark, just as Noah built one so long ago.

With time passing by and his family belittled by Evan’s newfound realization, Evan will have to do the work that God has given him. After all, when God speaks, all other options end. Evan Almighty is an unusual adventure of a man who just wants to be a good citizen and serve his country, but ends serving all of humanity instead. He finds his higher calling in God.

If God spoke to me, what would He say?

Evan Almighty is fun because many of us wonder from time to time, “If God spoke to me, what would He say?”

Well, according to the Bible, God has spoken to you!

The Bible is referred to as the “Word of God” because it was written by people who “spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21 ).

In the Bible God has spoken to us in a very personal way. Some have referred to the Bible as a “love letter from God.”

Just as the “Almighty” spoke to Evan, so God speaks to you through the Bible.

Question: So what is the message that God gives you in the Bible?

Answer: John 3:16, a verse found in the Bible, sums it up very well:

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

Here is how God says you can receive this eternal life:

1. Recognize that you have done things you should not have done.

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard” (Romans 3:23 ).

2. Your sinful ways have separated you from God—the source of eternal life.

“It’s your sins that have cut you off from God” (Isaiah 59:2).

3. You must turn from your old life and look to the One who conquered death.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23 ). Jesus conquered death by dying on the cross and rising to life again.

4. God offers you this eternal life through Jesus Christ. Through Jesus, you can become part of His Eternal family.

“But to all who believed him [Jesus Christ] and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12 ).

God is speaking to you. He is offering you new life. You can respond to Him through a simple heartfelt prayer like this:

Dear God, thank You for loving me enough to send Your only Son to die on the cross for my sins. Thank You for defeating death for me by raising Jesus to life again. I confess that I have sinned. I am sorry, please forgive me. I now acknowledge and accept Jesus as my Savior, and I promise to follow Him. I thank You for the victorious and eternal life that You have given me. This I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
