GOD’S SOLUTION?

 

• Jesus said, "I AM THE WAY, the Truth, and the Life. No one cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

1. God Himself came to earth as a human being to bring us back to Himself. If any other way would have worked, Jesus Christ would not have had to come. The Way is a PERSON! Jesus has already TAKEN CARE of your sin problem.

• "The wages of sin is death, But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

2. God did this for us because He LOVES us and wants us to KNOW HIM.

• "God commendeth (demonstrated) His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
• "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5

3. God has already done His part to restore our relationship to Him. He took the INITIATIVE. Now He waits for each of us to INDIVIDUALLY accept what He has done for us.

SO…………HOW DO I DO THAT?

1. ADMIT THAT GOD HAS NOT BEEN FIRST IN YOUR LIFE AND ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

2. BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN ON EASTER, AND IS ALIVE TODAY.

• "That if thou shalt 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." Romans 10:9
• "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12

3. ACCEPT GOD'S FREE GIFT OF SALVATION. DON'T TRY TO EARN IT.

• "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Our relationship to God is not restored by anything we do, but by what Jesus already did for us!

4 . INVITE JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE AND BE THE DIRECTOR ("LORD") OF YOUR LIFE.

• “ 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.” Revelation 3:20
• ” Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12

YOU CAN TAKE THESE STEPS BY PRAYING A SIMPLE PRAYER OF COMMITMENT TO GOD:

"Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner and I cannot save myself. I know that my sin has broken relationship with you. Thank you for dying on the cross to pay for my sins. Come into my life, Jesus, and take control. Forgive my sins and save me. I give you my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

• "Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
