The ABC's of salvation

Wow! I was reading through this other booklet and thought I should share with you THE ABC's of Salvation. Some people think a personal relationship with God is something only theologians can comprehend. Actually, God's plan of salvation is simple enough for everyone to understand. Here are the ABC's of salvation.

ADMIT to God that you are a sinner. Each one of us has a problem the Bible calls sin. Sin is the refusal to acknowledge God's authority over our lives. Everyone who does not live a life of perfect obedience to the Lord is guilty of sin. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Since none of us is perfect,all of us are sinners (Romans 3:10-18). The result of sin is spiritual death (Romans 6:23). Spiritual death means eternal separation from God. By God's perfect standard we are guilty of sin and therefore subject to the punishment for sin, which is separation from God. Admitting that you are a sinner and separated from God is the first step to repentance, which is turning from sin and self and turning towards God.

BELIEVE in Jesus as God's son and receive Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin. God loves each of us. God offers us salvation. Although we have done nothing to deserve His love and salvation, God wants to save us. In the death of Jesus on the cross, God provided salvation for all who would repent of their sins and believe in Jesus. "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

CONFESS your faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord to others. After you have received Jesus Christ into your life, share your decision with another person. Tell your pastor or a Christian friend about your decision. "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).

I would urge you to take the biggest step in your life and accept Jesus if you haven't done so. Salvation is free of charge, you do not have to pay anything to anyone, just submit your heart to God and everything shall follow. You do not even need airtime to call God. Be blessed

Never Give up!!!!!!

Every challenge has an expiry date, this is a fact. It might not come in your early stages of life but there is an expiry date, what we need to do is hold on and be strong. There will be times wherein you will feel like there is no progress in your life but you need to be patient and wait for the expiry date because it will come. We must not tell God when to do his will, this is why we tend to give up and think that God does not listen to our prayers, we tell him when to do his will. God is never late, maybe you asked for something when you wanted it but not needed it, He knows when you are in need.
Keep on believing

hello

hey, i thought it would be a good idea to start a blog in which as young people in Christ tackle the problems that we come across in our lives,afterall we need encouragement to get on in life. Hearing to what other young people out there think might help us get on with our lives. like Conrado i. Generoso said: no man is capable of self improvement if he sees no other model but himself......your story can uplift someone's spirit
be free to quote any bible verses that you feel you need other people to know about
let us show other young people out there that living in Christ does not mean you won't have fun
