Hope is alive and Jesus is still waiting patiently today,
but one day He’s going to leave His throne in heaven to come to earth and get
those who have faithfully served Him; those who are waiting for His return,
whether they are in the grave or still alive.
Do you want to be among that group? Are you ready to turn your life over
to Jesus and let Him be your Ruler, Saviour, Friend, and Redeemer? Yes, Jesus is
all that and more! If you are ready, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Know that God
loves you immensely and wants to save you- 1 Tim. 2:3-5; 2 Pet. 3:9
2. Acknowledge that
you are a sinner and that without Jesus Christ you are lost- Jer. 17:9; Rom. 3:23 and 6:23.
3. Accept the free
gift of Salvation that only God gives.
It is very important to know that you doing good works or righteous
deeds cannot earn this. You can only obtain it through Christ Jesus. Rom.
3:24-27; Eph. 2:1-10.
4. Repent (be sorry
for) all your sins and confess (tell) them to JESUS. Acts. 3:19; 1 John 9.
5. Believe that God
has forgiven; because of Jesus and that you have been forgiven and accepted
into the Family of God to inherit eternal life through you faith in Jesus. You
will live with Jesus forever and get to learn all the things you did not learn
in this life. Eph. 1:4-7; 1 john 5:11-13.
This is the Plan of Salvation! Eternal life comes through Jesus Christ
who loves us died on the cross to save us from sin. (John 3:16-17).
6. Now you are God’s
precious possession and the Holy Spirit will begin to do a mighty and miraculous
work in your life as you open up your heart to be teachable and let Him teach you the
ways of the Lord. Purpose in your heart to live this new life to its fullest,
not looking back, but looking forward to all that God has promised to do for
those who follow Jesus. The journey will not be easy, but it will be more than
worth it. When you fall Jesus will be right there to pick you up.
7. Read your Bible every day, Pray everyday. Spend time with
people who are doing these things and are actually looking and preparing for
the soon coming of Jesus Christ. Tomorrow is not promised, so tell all you
friend about Jesus and your new life. Jesus wants to save them too.
Dear heavenly Father, please open the hearts and minds of
those who read this article and help them to receive whatever You are saying to
them, or showing them at this time. Shine Your light upon them and protect them
from the lies of the evil one. In the name Jesus that I pray-Amen.
