Step One - Acknowledge your
past. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom.
3:23). You need to confess your sin (confess means to "agree with God")
and you need to repent (repent means to be sorry and to desire to turn
around).
Step Two -
Invite Jesus into
your heart. "To all who receive Him, to those who believe in His name,
He gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). You can be
"born again." Just ask Jesus to be your Savior.
Step Three
-
Trust God's promise of
forgiveness. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (I John
1:9). Stand on the promises of the Bible. God cannot lie. If He says
your past is forgiven … IT IS!
Step Four -
Openly express your
new relationship in the Lord. "Whosoever acknowledges Me before men, I
will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).
Tell others what Christ has done in your heart and life.
Step Five -
Grow by reading God's
Word and attending a Bible-believing church. "Like newborn babies, crave
pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow" (I Peter 2:2). |
All have sinned!
Believe in the
Lord!
Confess Him
before others!
