The Four basic steps for salvation.

THE FOUR BASIC STEPS:

• Understand Gods love
• Man is separated from God
• Jesus is the only way to God
• You must receive Christ, in your life

God’s love

God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16)

Man is separated from God

Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life.

Man was created to have fellowship with God but because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken.

Jesus is the only way to God.

Jesus said to him: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me.” (John 14:6)

We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

We must receive Christ.

As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.
(John 1: 12)

WHAT ARE THE TWO KINDS OF LIVES WE FOUND?

The self-directed life
• Self is on the throne
• Self directs interests, resulting in discord, frustration on your own
• Christ Jesus is outside your life

The Christ-directed life
• Christ is on the throne
• Self is yielding to Christ
• Interests are directed by Christ, resulting in harmony with God’s plan
• Which would you like to have represented your life?

Self-direct or Christ-direct:
All of us have done, said, or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin and our sins have separated us from God.
The good news is that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name.” You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Saviour.

You can receive Christ as your Saviour.

If you want to accept Christ, you can ask Him to be your Saviour and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

“Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Saviour. I want to serve you always.”
