God came, so you and I may have LIFE, and that LIFE more abundantly. Our lives were designed to glorify God by the quality of our lives. God is pure and holy. He, and He alone has the keys to real life and to Heaven. Many come to God to try and solve a present problem in their life and once that problem is passed they go back to their previous lifestyle. We all have done wrong, we have sinned. We have all gone “our” way. We are born sinners and those sins have separated us from a true quality life. The life that most of us desire, in our innermost being.
The things we have done wrong, our sins, have consequences. There is a reality to Heaven and Hell that none of us can escape.
There are steps to getting right with God. If you choose and do those steps you will be changing the very foundation of your life. Yes, Heaven will now be open to you when you die, and if you sincerely apply yourself, real life can be yours while still on this earth. While initially you will look the same, there is a real difference in how you can live your life. God, the creator of the heavens and the earth will be with you, He will be your Emanuel (God with us).

Most live a life based on what they feel, what they thing, and what they want. This is our natural life. There is a need to make the decision to replace the foundation we presently have, the foundation causes us to sometimes do wrong, to sin. This choice is to choose, to give our life to God, once and for all. - This is not committing to a man or person, for people will fail us.
- This is not committing ourselves to a new or better philosophy.
- This is not committing ourselves to a denomination or church.
- We are committing our lives to the one true living God that made the universe. (as millions of people have done before us.)
The steps are simple. The words, in the steps, have meaning. This is a conscience decision to replace our foundation with something that is better. Something that step, by step, line upon line will bring us into a closer relationship with God. There is nothing better than God. The path with God will cause change. Some of that change will bring great joy and, some change will be painful as God prunes, or cuts away, areas of our life that can or will, bring us harm. God will NEVER give us more than we can handle in Him.
Note: If at this point, you are afraid of committing to God, know that you can study the lessons, in the lesson section of this site to learn more, before you make a decision. While we should not pull back, from making any decision where we know the right thing to do, God does not want our decision to be based on the emotion of the moment, on pressure, compulsion or any influence that is not based on a sincere conviction of truth. Yes, after you have made a decision to follow God, you have the freedom to walk away. But why would anyone want to leave a relationship that promises and delivers a transformed life and ultimately Heaven???
Real salvation is often called being born again. We have to start anew. Start, grow and learn similar to the start of a new born baby.
The Steps to Salvation
Step 1. We need to acknowledge that we have done wrong, that we have sinned.
Step 2. We need to acknowledge that our wrongs, our sins have separated us from God and the quality of life we desire. There are consequences to sin.
Step 3. We need to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God. About 30 years ago, when I came to God, this was the hardest part for me. I had grown up a total heathen and His name had been a cuss word. Each of us will some day acknowledge Jesus Christ as king, either as our loving Lord and Savior OR as our judge. While this is very direct speech, it is an absolute truth. A wise person will investigate and once they realize that Jesus Christ is God, they will make a decision to give their lives to Jesus.
Again we need to acknowledge Jesus Christ as God, OUR God. The demonic realm acknowledges that Jesus is God, but they cannot make Him their “personal” Lord and “personal” Savior.
This is “THE KEY” to the life we desire.
Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and be your “personal” Lord and Savior. We make the choice to trust Jesus Christ in our heart, in our innermost motivation, as our Lord, the one we will willfully submit to and obey and as our Savior, the one we will trust to solve our problems.
When we do this we also receive the Holy Spirit. This is the spirit of God. It is the power by which the will of God, which is expressed in the word of God, the Bible, is carried out and accomplished. This is the same spirit that created the entire universe when God spoke it into existence. The Holy Spirit will never over ride your will, except possibly at death, if one has rejected the Christ. The Holy Spirit is often called the comforter. As you study the Bible and or the lessons on this site, you will learn more about these in detail.
Step 4. Thank Jesus Christ for saving you. |
