How can I begin a relationship with Jesus Christ? |
|
Step 1: Admit
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God."
We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.
We were born under the power of sin's control.
- Admit that you are a sinner.
Step 2: Understand
Romans 6:23a "...The wages of sin is death..."
Sin has an ending. It results in death. We all face physical
death, which is a result of sin. But a worse death is spiritual
death that alienates us from God, and will last for all
eternity. The Bible teaches that there is a place called the
Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever. It is
the place where people who are spiritually dead will remain.
- Understand that you deserve death for your sin.
Step 3: Ask
Romans 6:23b "...But the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord."
Salvation is a free gift from God to you! You can't earn this
gift, but you must reach out and receive it.
- Ask God to forgive you and save you.
Step 4: Give
Romans 5:8, "God demonstrates His own love for us, in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!"
When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin's penalty. He paid the
price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on
Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and
death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He
has done for us, understanding that we are now joined with Him,
and that He is our life. He did all this because He loved us and
gave Himself for us!
- Give your life to God... His love poured out in Jesus on the
cross is your only hope to have forgiveness and change. His love
bought you out of being a slave to sin. His love is what saves
you -- not religion, or church membership. God loves you!
Step 5: Call on Jesus
Romans 10:13 "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will
be saved!"
- Call out to God in the name of Jesus!
Romans 10:9,10 "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as
Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the
dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes,
resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses,
resulting in salvation."
- If you know that God is knocking on your heart's door, ask Him
to come into your heart.
Jesus said,
Revelation 3:20a "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if
anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to
him..."
You are a child of GOD!
John 1:12 "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right
to become children of God, even to those who believe in His
name!"
