ACCEPTING GOD’S FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE
(John 1:12)
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
Accept that you are a sinner before God. (Romans 3:10, 23) 10- “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” 23- “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” I know it’s not easy to humbly come before the presence of God to ask for forgiveness of your sins and accept before Him your sinfulness and unworthiness. It means that you also accept your depravity and your need for the Blood of Christ to wash you and cleanse you of your sins. (Ephesians 1:7) Because of what He has done at the Cross, all we have to do is to accept it by faith. Accept the free gift of salvation. The gift was offered, but the question is: would you be willing to accept that gift by humbly coming to God and accepting it by faith?
Believe and accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. (John 1:12) When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, it means you also accept His Lordship, His shed blood, His finished work at the Cross of Calvary. Because of what He has done at the Cross, all we have to do is to accept it by faith. (Romans 6:23; John 3:16)
Confess your sins to God. (I John 1:7- 10) A preacher said; “To confess, it means to say it, to look at it and deal with it as it is.” 9- “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
