Gods laws
As there are physical laws that govern the
universe,
So are there spiritual laws which
govern your relationship with Our Father-God.
1. God LOVES you and
has a wonderful PLAN for
your life. For His love and Plan;-
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).
God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they
might have life, and might have it abundantly" (John 10:10).
"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).
God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" (John 10:10).
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he
cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man Is Separated "The wages of sin
is death"
[spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin.
Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
He Died on our Behalf;
"God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us"
(Romans 5:8).
He Rose From the
Dead "Christ died for
our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day, according to the
Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared
to more than five hundred..." (1
Corinthians 15:3-6).

He Is the Only Way to our Father
"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).
"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).
4. 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
"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).
We Receive Christ
Through Faith "By
grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
When We Receive Christ,
We Experience a New Birth (Read John
3:1-8)
We Receive Christ by
Personal Invitation
"Behold, I stand
at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will
come in to him"
(Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and
trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what
He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough
to have an emotional experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act
of the will.

You can
receive Christ right now by faith through prayer: (Prayer is
talking to God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the
attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:"Lord
Jesus Christ, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open
the door of my life and receive You as my Personal Savior and Lord. Thank You
for forgiving, washing my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the
throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Welcome Jesus
Christ in my Life"
