How can you begin your personal relationship with
God?
You must personally respond by trusting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
You Respond With Trust In Christ:
In Ephesians 2:8-9 the Bible says, "For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not
by works, so that no one can boast."
You Respond By Turning To God From Sin:
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out
. . ." (Acts 3:19).
You Respond By Receiving Christ:
"Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He
gave the right to become children of God . . . " (John 1:12).
Receiving Christ Means:
-
Turning to God from your own way of living (repentance).
-
Inviting Christ to come into your life and trusting Him to forgive your
sin.
-
Allowing God to direct your life. Receiving Jesus Christ is not just an
emotional experience; nor is it just agreeing in your mind that Jesus is
the Son of God. It means total trust .
