First: Accept the Truth that God loves you.
God’s Plan for our lives is Peace and Life
The Bible says: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Second: Accept The truth that our fallen, sinful, human nature separates us from God.
Our Problem is we are separated from Him because He is perfect and we are not.
The Bible says: There is no one righteous, not even one. Romans 3:10
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
Third: Accept the Truth that God had a plan to redeem us from the beginning.
God’s Remedy for this separation is the cross of Christ.
God provides the bridge between us and him through the cross of Christ. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life, suffered and died for our sins, and rose from the dead. He paid the penalty for our sins.
The Bible says: God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
Fourth: Act on this Truth by receiving the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Response is to receive Christ and have a relationship with God.
He did the work, we just need to believe and receive the gift of salvation.
The Bible says: If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised us from the dead we will be saved. Romans 10:9
Talk to God (He is listening):
God, I admit that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for me on the cross and paid the penalty for my sins. I want to turn from my sins and trust you as Lord and Savior. I invite you into my heart and life. In Jesus name, Amen
