1. Recognize God's Plan - Peace and Life

God Loves you and his desire is for you to experience peace and life everlasting. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

2. Realize our Problem - Separation from God

We as sinners choose to disobey God and go our own way. Since God cannot even look on sin, this separates us from God. 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."

3. Respond to God's Remedy - The Cross

God sent His Son to redeem us. Jesus Christ did this by taking our place and dying for our sins on the Cross. He paid the debt, died on the Cross, was placed in the Grave for three days and rose from the Grave victorious. Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

4. Receive Chrisst - As Lord and Saviour

You cross the bridge that Jesus built into God's family when you prayerfully confess your need as a sinner and ask the Lord Jesus to come into your life. Romans 10:9-10 "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.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

How to Receive Christ:
1. Admit you are a sinner
2. Repent (turn from your sins and ask God to Forgive you)
3. Believe that Jesus died on the Cross for your sins and rose the third day
4. Pray and invite the Lord Jesus to come in and control your life and by the power of the Holy Spirit receive Christ as Lord and Saviour

Sample Prayer of Committment:
(pray something like this in your own words)

Dear God, I know I am a sinner and I recognize my need for your Son Jesus as my Saviour. I repent and turn from my sins and ask you to forgive me. I believe that Jesus Christ is your only begotten Son and I believe he died for my sins, was buried and raised the third day. I ask him to come into my life and take control. I trust Jesus as my Saviour and commit to follow him and him only from this day forward. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name Amen.

If you did this with a sincere heart and trusted Christ as your Saviour you are now a new born child of God.
