GOD'S FOUR STEPS TO SALVATION

______________________________________________________________

Step 1: Recognizing GOD'S DESIGN ABUNDANT LIFE

___________________________________________________________________________________

God loves you and desires that you experience Joy, Peace, and Abundant life.  This life is in God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord!

The Bible says....

John 3:16:   For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believth in him should not perish, but have Everalsting Life.

John 11:25:   Jesus said unto her, I am the ressurection, and the life:  He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

John 10:10:  I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

What keeps most people from experiencing the Joy, Peace, and Abundant Life that God has planned for them?

Step 2: Recognizing Man's Problem-Seperation from God!

_____________________________________________________

God created man in HIS own image and made him a free mortal agent.  God didn't want Robots worshiping Him but have Freedom of Choice.  Man made the choice to disobey God.  Man's rebellion against God is called Sin.  Man then is a Sinner by Will and Freedom of Choice.

Man willfully choose to disobey God and go his own selfish ways!  Man still make this choice today.  This results in SEPERATION FROM GOD, in HELL FOREVER!

The Bibles Says...

Romans 3:23:  For ALL have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

Romans 6:23:  For the wages of Sin is Death; but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Man through the years has tried to bridge the gap for many years without success....

 There is only ONE SOULution to this Problem of Seperation..............................

Step 3: Recognizing GOD'S SOULUTION- THE CROSS!

___________________________________________________________________

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY SOLUTION to this problem of seperation from God. 

When our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, He paid the Penalty for all our Sins and Bridged the Gap from GOD to man.

 The Bible Says....

Romans 5:8:  But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ Dies for us.

John 14:6:  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:  No man cometh unto the father, but by me.

Ephesians 2: 8,9: For by Grace we are saved through faith; and it is not of yourselves; it is a gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

God has provided in Jesus Christ the ONLY way of salvation...Man must make the choice to receive God's solution.

Step 4: Man's response-receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior 

____________________________________________________________________

We all must trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! and receive him into our Hearts by inviting him into our hearts personally.

The Bible Says...

Revelation 3:20: "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." 

John 1:12:  But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that beleive on his name.

Romans 10:13:  Whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Is there any good reason why you cannot receive Jesus Christ as your own Personal Lord and Savior?

Are you here.....................................or Here 

 What you must do! ( ABC's of salvation)

1.  Admit your need (I am a Sinner).  Be Willing to turn from sin (Repent).

2.  Believe that Jesus Christ died for you (On the Cross).

3.  Confess your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart to become  your personal Savior.

A Suggested Prayer of Commitment:

Dear Father God;

I admit that I am a Sinner and need your Forgiveness.  I believe that your Son Jesus Christ died in my place, paying the penalty for all my sins.  I am willing to turn away from sin.  I confess my sins and ask that you forgive me of my sins.  I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my Heart and Life as my own personal Savior.  I am willing by your help to follow and obey Jesus Christ as the Lord of my life!

Amen
