Heaven Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God. (References contained on this page are from the Bible and should be read in context wherever possible.) Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? 2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life. Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he
chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will,
characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin. God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the
two. A man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant
life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails. The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf... 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 Is the Only Way to God God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by
sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our
sins. It is not enough just to know these three laws... NOW YOU MUST PRAY THIS PRAYER (with your voice): Father, God in heaven, it is written in Your word that if I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead, I shall be saved.

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 NIV).
God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it
abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).
Because...
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man Is Separated
He Died in Our Place
"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).
"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
[Christ speaking] "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).
Therefore, Father, I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord. I make You Lord of my life right now. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead. I renounce my past life with Satan and close the door to any of his devices.
I thank You for forgiving me of all my sins and wrongdoings. Jesus is my Lord, and I am a new creation. Old things have passed away. Now all things become new. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen."
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 your own will.
"These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. If you believe that Christ died for you, and are willing to confess Him before God and man, you need to publicly profess Jesus Christ as your Savior. You need to attend and get involved in a local Christian church.
If you don't have a Bible, please let us know and we will see that you get one.
