1.SIN- The first step is to realize that you are a sinner.
Sin is any thing that displeases God. (Examples: Lies, cheating, hating, disbelief in God, disobeying, etc.)
The Bible says in, Romans 3:23- "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Romans 6:23- "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
2.FORGIVENESS- Jesus' blood can wash away your sins.
In, 1 John 1:19- "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
3.ACCEPTING GOD'S GIFT- Ask Jesus to be your saviour.
Ephesians 2:8- "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Acts 16:23- "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,"
If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he died to take away your sins and that he rose again on the third day and that he lives, You can be saved! Just pray and tell God that you believe and accept God's Gift.
4. GOD'S GIFT- Eternal Life with God
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Romans 6:23- "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
John 14:2,3- "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
5.GROWTH- You must grow to be more like Christ.
Philippians 2:5- "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
Here are four ways to Grow more like Christ.
a) Read God's Word (Holy Bible) every day.
Acts 17:11- "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, wheather those things were so."
b)Talk to God each day (Pray).
1 Thessalonians 5:17- "Pray without ceasing."
c)Tell others about Christ.
Mark 16:15- "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
d)Go to Church. Make good Christian friends.
Hebrews 10:25- " Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,"
