The Four Laws: Why we need a Savior and How to accept Him into your heart and life right now.
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
GOD'S LOVE:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)
GOD'S PLAN:
(Jesus speaking) "My purpose is to give life in all it's fullness" (John 10:10)
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? This question is answered in the second law.
Law One:
Law Two:
Man is sinful and sperated from God. Because of this he cannot know and experiencing God's love and plan for his life.
MAN IS SINFUL:
"For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard" (Romans 3:23)
You see, man was created to have fellowship with God. God wants you to have fellowship with Him. It is the same kind of fellowship Adam and Eve had with God in the Garden of Eden before sin enetered the world. There, these two friends of God walked with Him in the cool of the evening, talking with their Creator as a son and daughter talk to their daddy.
But then Adam and Eve decided to go their own way rather than God's way. They broke fellowship with God, and ever since then man has chosen to go his own independent way. Sometimes this self-will is exercised in active rebellion against God. Sometimes it is expressed in passive indifference toward God. In whatever form it appears, this self-will is what the Bible calls sin.
MAN IS SPERATED:
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)
Law Three:
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and God's plan for your life.
HE DIED IN OUR PLACE:
"But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." (Romans 5:8)
HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD:
"Christ died for our sins. . .He was buried, and He was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. After that, He was seen by more than five hundred." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6)
HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD:
"Jesus told him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.'" (John 14:6)
Law Four:
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST:
"But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12)
WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH FAITH:
"God saved you by His special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
WHEN WE RECEIVE CHRIST, WE EXPERIENCE NEW BIRTH:
"Jesus replied, 'I assure you, unless you are born again you can never see the Kingdom of God.' " (John 3:3)
WE RECEIVE CHRIST BY PERSONAL INVITATION:
"Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends." (Revelation 3:20)
Receiving Christ means we have to turn to Him. In order to do this, we have to turn away from our sin. We cannot do this in our own power. But we must be willing to relinquish our sin and to surrender to Him all the rights to our life. Then, in an act of faith, we invite Jesus Christ to take over the control of our life. While that may seem difficult, it is in reality a very simple thing. There is nothing you have to do before accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior. You may feel like you have done many bad things which may be true, but God will take you as you are. Salvation is not a reward you have to earn, it is a free gift from God for those who are willing to stop trusting in their own good works and efforts and place all their faith in Jesus Christ to save them.
Here is a simple prayer you can pray to invite Jesus into your life and heart right now:
"Dear Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and help me to do your will. In your name, amen."
