Know that God
loves you and has a purpose for your life |
| God's Love... |
"God loved the world so much that He gave His
only Son so that whoever believes
in Him will not be lost, but have everlasting life."
(see John 3:16) |
| |
Acknowledge
that your sin stands in the way of God's purpose |
| Our Sin... |
|
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God." (Romans 3:23, NAS) |
|
|
| Our
Separation... |
"For
the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23, NAS)
Sin costs! Its ultimate cost is death and an eternity apart
from God. But God has
provided a way for us to experience forgiveness of that sin,
abundant life on earth,
and everlasting life in heaven. |
| |
Understand
that Jesus Christ is the only way of Salvation |
| The Way... |
"Jesus
answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to
the
Father but through Me.'" (John 14:6, NAS) |
| |
| How It Was
Done... |
He was delivered
over to death on the cross for our sins. He paid the price for us.
His resurrection from the dead is the promise of new life.
(see Romans 4:25 and
Romans 6:8-10) |
| |
You must
respond in faith to Jesus |
| My Part... |
It is not enough
just to know the facts about Jesus. We must establish a
relationship with Him by receiving Him.
"But as many as received Him, to them He
gave the right to become children of God, even to those who
believe in His name."
(John 1:12, NAS) |
| |
| How To
Receive Him... |
Pray the prayer
below. "for whoever will call upon the Name of
the Lord shall be
saved." (Romans 10:13, NAS) |
| |
Lord,
thank You for loving me and coming to earth to show me the way. I
believe
You died to pay for my sin and You were raised from the dead
to give me life with
You. I want to turn from my sin and my old life and place my
trust in You right now.
Please come into my life and be my Savior and the Master of
my life. Show me how
to live and help me to follow You always. In Jesus name I
pray. Amen. |
