STEP 1: God’s Love.
There are many problems in
the world today. Although peace, happiness and love are desired by many, only
very few know what it means to have abundant life.
God loves you and he want
you to have abundant life. God has a wonderful plan for your life. God loves
you because it is His nature to love. Many today are not enjoying the love of
God. Are you one of such people? In this article, you will discover the reason
why.
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.
The thief cometh not, but
for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
STEP 2: Man’s Problem
Although man was created
in the image of God and was meant to live an abundant life, man got into
problem because of sin. Sin separates us from God. It also hinders us from
enjoying the love of God.
Over the centuries, man
has made many efforts in order to be at peace with God. But none of these
efforts has helped man.
Sin, like a great wall,
separates man from God. And with this wall, man’s problem will remain.
For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Behold, the Lord’s hand is
not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear;
but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:1,2.
STEP 3: God’s Solution
What can we do to get man’s
problem solved? Is there a way out? God knew that we would not be able to find
a way out through our own efforts. He provided the solution. His love for
fallen man made him draw the plan of salvation. He allowed His Son, Jesus
Christ, to suffer for us, so that through his suffering and sacrifice we can
pass from death to life.
But God commendeth his
love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans
5:8
Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.
John 14:6.
But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he
loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ (by grace ye are saved). Ephesians 2:4,5
STEP 4: Man’s Response
You have a part to play in
order to benefit from God’s love. You cannot benefit unless you respond
personally. Salvation is God’s free gift. But, you must receive this gift
before you can enjoy it.
That if thou confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be
saved. Romans 10:9
Behold, I stand at the
door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20
But as many as received
him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name. John 1:12
Are you ready to respond? Are
you willing to receive God’s free gift now? Will you decide to receive Christ
now?
WHAT
YOU MUST DO:
1. Admit
that you are a sinner Now
2. Be
willing to repent Now
3. Believe
that Jesus died for your sins.
4. Go
to God in prayer, repent and invite Jesus into your life.
A
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Almighty God, I thank you
because you love me. When I was lost in sine, You sent your son Jesus Christ to
die for me. I believe that the blood He shed was for my pardon. Today, I repent
of my sins and ask for forgiveness. Lord Jesus, come into my heart today. Be my
savior and my Lord. Thank you for coming into my heart according to your
promise. In Jesus’ name I pray. (Amen).
HAVE
YOU TAKEN THESE FOUR STEPS
Then you must:
1. Read
the word of God everyday – Psalm 119:9,11.
2. Spend
some time in prayer everyday – Philippians 4:6.
3. Fellowship
with other believers in the church so that you can be cared for and grow up
spiritually – Hebrews 10:25.
4. Yield
your life to God, witness for Christ and bring others to him – Mark 1:17.
