GOD'S FOUR STEPS TO SALVATION Step 1 is recognizing GOD'S DESIGN ABUNDANT LIFE God loves you and desires that you experience Joy, Peace, and the Abundant life. This life is in God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord! The Bible Says.... John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believth in him should not perish, But have Everlasting Life. John 11:25 Jesus Said unto her, I am the ressurection, and the life: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. John 10:10 .....I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. What keeps most people from experiencing the Joy, Peace, and the Abundant Life that God has planned for them? Step 2 is Recognizing MAN'S PROBLEM - SEPERATION FROM GOD! God Created man in HIS own image and made him a free mortal agent. God Didn't want Robots worshiping him but gave them Freedom of Choice. Man made the choice to disobey God. Man's rebellion against God is called Sin. Man then is a Sinner by Will and Freedom of Choice. Man willfully choose to disobey God and go his own Selfish ways! Man still makes this Choice today. This results in SEPERATION FROM GOD, in HELL FOREVER! The Bible Says... 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. Man through the Years has tried to Bridge this Gap for Many Years Withou Sucess... There is Only one Soulution to this Problem of Seperation. Step 3 is Reconizing GOD'S SOULUTION - THE CROSS! Our Lord JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY SOLUTION to this problem of seperation from God. When our Lord Jesus Christ Died on the Cross, He paid the Penalty for all our Sins and Bridged the Gap from GOD to man. The Bible Says... Romans 5:8 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ Died for us. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: No Man cometh unto the father, but by me. Ephesians 2:8,9 For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and it is not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. God has provided in Jesus Christ the ONLY way of salvation... Man must make the choice to recieve God's Solution. Step 4 is MAN'S RESPONSE -A RECIEVE CHRIST AS PERSONAL SAVIOR We all must trust in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! and Recieve him into Our hearts by inviting him into our Hearts Personaly. The Bible Says... Revelation 3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock: If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in and Sup with him, and he with me. John 1:12 But as many as recieved him, to them gave he power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Is there any good reason why you cannot recieve Jesus Christ as your Own personal Lord and Savior? Are you here..............................Or Here What you must do! 1. Admit your need (I am a Sinner) 2. Be willing to turn from Sin (Repent) 3. Believe that Jesus Christ Died for you (On the Cross) 4.
