Step One
God’s Purpose: Peace and Life
God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life–abundant and
eternal.The Bible says…
“We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that  whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
Why don’t most people have this peace and abundant life that God planned  for
us to have?
Step Two
The Problem: Our Separation
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make  us
as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and a  freedom
of choice.
We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this
choice today. This results in separation from God.The Bible says…
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Our Attempts to Reach God
People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and
God…
The Bible says…
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to
death.” Proverbs 14:12
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have  hidden
his face from you, so that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2
No bridge reaches God…except one.
Step Three
God’s Bridge: The Cross
Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the  penalty
for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.The Bible says…
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus
Christ.” 1 Timothy 2:5
“For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the  unrighteous,
to bring you to God.” 1 Peter 3:18
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
God has provided the only way. Each person must make a choice.
Step Four
Our Response: Receive Christ
We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal
invitation.
The Bible says…
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.”  Revelation
3:20
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave  the
right to become children of God.” John 1:12
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in  your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans  10:9Where are you?
Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
Here is how you can receive Christ:
1.Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2.Be willing to turn from your sins
(repent).
3.Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose
from the  grave.
4.Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and
control your life  through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)How to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You  died
for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come  into my
heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

God’s Assurance: His Word
If you prayed this prayer,The Bible says…
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13
Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? Where is He  right
now? What has He given you?”For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can  boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does  not have
life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the  Son of God so
that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 John  5:12-13
Receiving Christ, we are born into God’s family through the supernatural
work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. This is called
regeneration or the “new birth.”
This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen  this
relationship you should:
1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better.
2. Talk to God in
prayer every day.
3. Tell others about Christ.
4. Worship, fellowship,
and serve with other Christians in a church where  Christ is preached.
5.  As Christ’s representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life  by your
love and concern for others.
