Q: How do I begin a relationship with God?
God's Plan
What do
you think it takes for someone to get to heaven? Is it luck? Good deeds? Nothing
at all? The Bible has the real answer to this question. It's a matter of
FAITH.
F stands for FORGIVENESS. We cannot have eternal life without
God's forgiveness. Ephesians 1:7a "In Him (Jesus) we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins."
A is for AVAILABLE. Foriveness is available
for all. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." But
forgiveness is not automatic. "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord,Lord,' will
enter the kingdom of heaven," says Matthew 7:21a
I is for IMPOSSIBLE. It is
impossible for God to allow sin into heaven because of who He is and because of
who we are. God is love and just. God loves us but his judgement is against sin.
James 2:13a says, "Because judgement is without mercy." Judgement on what? SIN!
We are sinful people. Romans 3:23 tells us, "For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God."
T is for TURN. To turn means repent. We can repent - or
turn - from our sin and from ourselves. Luke 13:3b says, "But unless you repent
you will all likewise perish." We can also turn to someone. Trust Christ alone.
Romans 10:9 tells us how: "That 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."
H is for HEAVEN. Heaven is eternal life. Here, that means life "Life
to the full:" "I have come that they may have life, and life to the full." (John
10:10) In the hereafter, it means the promise of heaven: "And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where
I am there you may be also." (John 14:3)
So how can a person have God's
forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus Christ as personal Savior and
Lord? Pray to Jesus Christ asking him for forgiveness. Take the step of faith
described by another meaning of FAITH: Forsaking All I Trust Him.
You do
this through a simple prayer relecting on your desire for Christ to change your
life. You can pray something like this:
Lord Jesus, I love you and know
that you love me. I know that I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sin. I
want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life 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. Amen.
Accepting Christ is just the
beginning of a wonderful adventure with God! Get to know Him better in a number
of ways .
1. Follow Christ's example in baptism.
2. Join a church
where you can worship God and grow in your faith.
3. In your church, get
involved in a Bible study group.
4. Begin a daily personal worship experience
with God where you study the Bible and pray.
We'd love to hear from
you!!!
