Are you ready? Are you ready to give your life to Jesus Christ? Are you ready to be saved? Are you ready for a new life? Have you been feeling like something is tugging at you to ask questions about Christ? Do you feel like there is something going on in you and you are not sure what it is? Do you feel the need for a change? That is Jesus. That is the Lord wanting you to talk to him. Wanting you to get to know him. He is speaking to you. Take these steps and make the change.
1. Confess. Confess your sins. Acknowledge that you have sinned and that you want to be forgiven. Proverbs 28:13 - He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Romans 10:9 - 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. Romans 10:10 - For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
2. Repent. Repent of your sins. Turn away from sin. Acts 3:19 - Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Ezekiel 18:32 - For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live! Mark 1:15 - The time has come, he said. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news! Luke 5:32 - I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
3. Have Faith. Ephesians 2:8 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Psalm 97:10 - Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Romans 1:17 - For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7 - We live by faith, not by sight.
4. You must Believe. John 6:47 - I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. Matthew 21:22 - If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. John 3:16 - For 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. Mark 16:16 - Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Four steps; Confess, Repent, have Faith, and Believe. Four steps to eternal life. Come as you are and where you are. You do not have to get your life right to be saved; you get saved and get your life right. God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called.
