HOW TO COME TO THE LORD
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR SIN
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
First, see yourself for what you are....a sinner.
Sin is tragic, vile,...it blights, degrades, destroys. It has dire consequences: "...the soul that sinneth, it shall die." "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."REPENT OF YOUR SIN
Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out...You must also repent.
Repentance is not making a resolution to do better. It is not just conviction of sin, for a person may be convinced that he is wrong and still not repent. Repentance is a change of mind, a change of heart, and it results in a change of action.
As the Bible says, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord...for he will abundantly pardon." You must change your mind about sin and want God to end its mastery over you. After all, sin is so bad it took Christ's death to make forgiveness possible for you.BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son,
that whosever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Believe in the completed work Christ accomplished on the cross.
You must believe that Christ substituted Himself for you, that He died for your sins)though He never sinned), and that He was resurrected from death. "...the chastisement of our peace was upon Him." Our sins nailed Him to the cross, and "with his stripes we are healed." "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."MAKE YOUR DECISION
If thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.You must believe in Christ and receive Him personally into your life by faith
if you are to be saved from the power of sin and its consequences. "But as many receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
Will you pray to God something like this?"God, I'm convinced I am a sinner, and that Christ alone can save me.
I willingly repent of my sinful life and believe Jesus Christ died for me. I want to receive Him as my personal Saviour."If you have received Christ today, please let us know.
We want to help you in your new life in Christ.
