"By God's grace and mighty power,
I have been given the privilege of serving Him by spreading the good news." Ephesians 3:7
1.Admitto God that you are a
sinner.
"For all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Since no one is perfect,
but all of us are sinners (Romans 3:10-18). The result of sin is spiritual
death (Romans 6:23). Spiritual death means separation from God. By
God's perfect standard we are guilty of sin and therefore subject to the punishment
for sin, which is separation from God. Admitting that you are a sinner and
separated from God is the first step of repentance, which is turning from sin
and self and turning toward God.
2.Believein Jesus
Christ as God's Son and receive Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin.
God loves each of us. God offers us salvation. Although we have
done nothing to deserve His love and salvation, God wants to save us. In the
death of Jesus on the cross, God provided salvation for all who would repent of
their sins and believe in Jesus.
"For God loved the world in
this way: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him
will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
3.Confessyour
faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to others.
"If you confess with your
mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the
dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in
righteousness and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation" (Romans
10:9-10).
Dear Jesus,
*I admit my sin and need of your grace in my life.
*I know that You are God’s Son and You love me.
*I believe You took the penalty for my sin when You died on the
cross, and only throughfaith in
Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven.
*I turn away from my sin and place my faith in You as my Savior and
Lord.
*From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases
You.
*Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. I say this prayer in Jesus’
name, Amen.
May God bless youon your journey as you seek
to serve Him with purpose.
