This
page seeks to help those who want a step by step understanding of how to make
their peace with and receive eternal life with God. |

Step
1 God's
Purpose: |
|||
|
God loves you and wants
you to experience peace
and life to
its fullness, eternally.
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 am the
living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he
will live
forever. This bread
is my flesh, which I will give for the life of
the world." John
6:51

Step
2 Our
Problem: |
|||
|
God created us in His
own image to have a full life. He did not make us as robots to automatically
love an obey Him, but 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

Step
3 Our Attempts |
|||
|
Through the ages,
individuals have tried in many ways to bridge this gap...without success... The Bible
Says... Proverbs
14:12 "There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it
leads to death." Isaiah
59:2 "But your iniquities have separated
you from God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will
not hear." |
|||
|
Step
4 God's
Remedy: |
|||
|
Jesus Christ is the
only answer to this problem. He died on the Cross and rose from the grave,
paying the penalty for our sin and bridging the gap between God and people. The Bible
Says..."...God
is on one side and all the people on the other side, and Christ Jesus,
Himself man, is between them to bring them together... " 1
Timothy 2:5 " For Christ also has
suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us 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
|
|||
|
Step
5 Our
Response: |
|||
|
We must trust Jesus
Christ and receive Him by personal invitation. The Bible
Says..."Behold,
I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. "Revelation
3:20 "But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to
those who believe in His name. "John
1:12 "...if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans
10:9

Is there any
good reason why you cannot receive Jesus Christ right Now? Receiving
Christ into our lives is simple
to Pray:
If you just prayed this prayer ... then here are some of God's Assurances of YOUR Salvation : Romans 10:13 "For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."
Receiving Christ, as Lord and Saviour we are born into God's family (the body of believers) through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer...this is called regeneration or the "new birth." To understand more about the
character and love of this God that you have just made as your Lord and
Saviour go to the Home page and start to follow the relevant links.
