Realize you are a sinner.
Romans 3: 10, 23
We must all come to this point in our lives
if we truly want Christ to forgive us of our sins. Sin is anything
that causes us to miss the mark of God's Holiness and Perfection. Only
God can take care of our sin problem.
Realize that there is a penalty for your
sin. Romans 6: 23; Revelations 21:8
We all know that we are going to die, but
dying without Christ means that we will be eternally separated from God.
The Bible tells us that everyone who has not accepted Christ as their Savior
will spend eternity in Hell.
Acknowledge that Jesus paid the penalty
for you. Romans 5: 8
God loved each one of us so much that He
gave His only Son Jesus to bear our sin and die in our place on a cross.
We can't really understand it, but Jesus became our substitute for judgment.
If we accept Him, we won't have to spend eternity in Hell.
Acknowledge that Christ wants to give
you the "free gift" of eternal life in Heaven. Romans 6: 23
If someone give you a gift, it is not truly
yours until you accept it and take it. God is offering you this
wonderful gift freely, but you must receive it. You don't have to be
good enough for it, because no person can be good enough of their own
accord. All any person has to do is just receive the gift and fully
accept it.
Believe in Christ and ask Him to be your
Savior. Romans 10: 9 - 10
There are two things that we must do to
receive Christ. First we must "confess", or tell God verbally that we
are a sinner and that Jesus is the only one who can cleanse us.
Second, we must "believe". We have to believe in our heart that Jesus
died, was buried, rose again, and that He is the only way for us to obtain
Salvation.
All you have to do is just ask Him and
He will forgive you of your sins and cleanse your heart. Then you will
be His True Child. Nothing else in your life is as important as where
you will spend eternity. God says that in order to go to Heaven a
person must be Born Again.
