Step 1. I have sinned.

" For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. " Rom.3:23.

The first step in becoming a child of God is to learn what I am in God's sight and to accept what He says about me.

God says that we are all sinners. We have all said wrong things and done wrong things.

sin is a terrible thing. It hurts us and it hurts others. But the worst thing about sin is this - sin hurts God's heart. Do you know why sin hurts His heart? Because God is holy. and because He loves us so much.

You cannot get did of your sins by doing certain things, but the Lord Jesus can forgive sins. He loves you and wants to forgive you of all your sins.

Jesus is "the friend of sinners." He will never turn away anyone who comes to Him. He said, "...him that comes to me, I will never cast out" (John 6:37).

 ......

STEP 2. God loves me.

 ......."For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish,but have eternal life." John 3 :16

Whom does God mean when He says "the world?"🌎 He means all the people in the world 🌎. That includes you and me!

Whom does God mean when He says "whoever"? He means anyone. You can put your name in this verse. Why not do it right now?

For God so loved------------- that He gave His only begotten Son, that------------------ believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Now read it out loud with your name on the blank spaces. There, that is good news, isn't it?

 ......

STEP 3. Christ died for me.

"God shows His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

This is good 👍 news: God loves sinners! God is saying to us, "I really love you! I have shown my love for you in giving my Son to ..... die ..... for you."

 .....God cannot overlook our sins of pretend that He does not know about them. What did God do about our sins? God gave His only Son to pay the penalty for our sins.

The LORD Jesus Christ died for sinners. He died for you and me. You can say, "Christ died for me!" Say it right now-- "Christ died for me!"

 ....not only did Christ for for our sins, but He also rose from the dead. He is a living Savior! He has all power in Heaven and on earth. He can forgive your sins and make you a child of God.

 ....

STEP 4. I receive Him.

Our next verse tells us how to become a child of God. The Bible says, "As many as received Him, to them have He power to become children of God......" John 1:12

To become a child of God, you must come as a sinned to the Lord Jesus and receive Him as your Savior.

You take Him as your Savior by asking Him to come into your heart. Your heart is like a house with a door. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if anyone hears My voice and opens The door, I will come in......" Revelation 3:20

 .

STEP 5. I have everlasting life.

 ."He that believes on the Son has everlasting life....." John 3 :36

This verse tells us that if we believe in the Lord Jesus, we have everlasting life.

 .

 .The Bible says, "These things have I written into you that believe . on the name of the Son of God. that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.
