The ABC's of a personal love relationship with Jesus Christ... A - Admit you have sinned (i.e. disobeyed God's Law) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) B - Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, your Lord (i.e. ruler of your life) and your personal Savior For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. (Acts 16:31) C - Confess (i.e. agree with God) and Repent (i.e. chane of heart-mind-attitude-actions) of your sins If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9). Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord (Acts 3:19) 'S - Surrender to and Commit your entire life to the Lorship of Jesus Christ Yield (i.e. surrender) yourselves unto God (Romans 6:13) If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. (Luke 9:23) Today is the day of salvation! (2 Corinthians 6:2) If you are willing right now to receive eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ, pray a prayer similar to this below... "Dear God, I know that Jesus is Your Son, and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. I know I am a sinner and that I have sinned against you and need forgiveness. I am willing to turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior of my life. From this day forward, I choose to follow You as Lord of my life. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus' name. Amen" If you sincerely prayed that prayer and meant it in your heart, then you are now a Christian - a child of God's Kingdom! Welcome to the Family of God! We invite you to share your decision to become a Christian with your family, friends, co-workers, and others who God will bring into your life. Please take a moment to write or e-mail us your testimony in becoming a Christian today. We can then specifically pray for you as you grow and mature in your new Christian faith. We will be glad to send you additional Christian materials which will assist you in your walk of faith as a Christian. We also would like to encourage you to join a New Testament, bible-believing church in your community where you can follow your decision in baptism (Matthew 3:16-17), learn more about God's Holy Word (2 Timothy 2:15), share in fellowship with the family of Christian believers (Acts 2:41) and be doers of His Word (James 1:22). Be sure to read and study God's Word (i.e. Holy Bible) (1 Timothy 3:16-17) and talk with Him daily through prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17). May God Bless You As You Richly Grow In Knowledge Of His Son Jesus Christ! |
