Ever wanted to have real deep peace, hope and joy in your life? Seriously, you can think, feel and act on a real peace, hope and joy with a new relationship with Jesus. Read on to find out how to make it happen.
Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern our relationship with God.
Law 1) God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
Law 2) Since people are sinful and we are all separated from God by this sin, we cannot know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
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.
Law 4) We must individually ask forgiveness of our sins and make Jesus Christ Lord of our lives; then we will know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
Making Christ Lord of our lives involves praying to God and trusting Christ to come into our lives and to forgive our sins. When we do this, He will forgive us and offer us a whole new life with him. A life a peace, joy and the security of knowing that God loves us and has everything in His control.
To just agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
To receive this wonderful gift, simply pray this say these words outloud, God can hear them as He hears everything you say and think. "Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."
