Law 1 – God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (that it might be full and meaningful) John 10:10
Law 2 – Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. “The wages of sin is death” (spiritual separation from God) Romans 6:23
Law 3 – Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. “God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
Law 4 – We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives. “But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” John 1:12 “Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him…” Revelation 3:20
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self. We receive Christ by FAITH; it is an act of the will. To acknowledge Christ intellectually and emotionally is not enough. You must surrender your life. You can receive Christ right now by FAITH through prayer. (Prayer is simply talking with God.)
Acknowledge: You are a sinner. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 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
Repent: Turn away from your sins. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Acts 3:19
Believe: Jesus Christ, the sacrifice for our sins, was resurrected from the dead!
For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but will have eternal life. John 3:16
Accept: Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, inviting Him to live in your heart. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, your will be saved. Romans 10:9 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die,” John 11:25
