Being a Christian - Spread the FAITH
Are you a Christian? Here is an easy way that you can see if you are. You can also
share this with others and help spread the Gospel of Jesus.
A step of [faith] F.A.I.T.H.
It goes against our nature to believe in something that we've never seen. But the fact of the matter is that if we were really honest, we'd admit that we put our faith in something. It might be something as simple as trusting a chair is sturdy enough to support us. It may be as complicated as counting on a friend to keep a secret.
Yes, we put our faith in something. Above all, God wants us to put our faith in Him through a personal relationship with His Son Jesus. What's keeping you from taking that step of faith?
In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven?
Consider how the Bible answers this questions. It is a matter of FAITH.
F is for forgiveness
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness
[Read Ephesians 1:7a]
A is for available
Forgiveness is available
It is - Available for ALL [Read John 3:16]
But Not Automatic [Read Matthew 7:21a]
I is for impossible
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
- Because of who He is: God is loving and just. His judgment is against sin. [Read James 2:13a]
- Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner. [Read Romans 3:23]
But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin?
T is for turn
Turn means repent
Turn from something - sin and self [Read Luke 13:3b]
Turn to Someone; trust Christ only. [Read Romans 10:9]
H is for heaven
Heaven is eternal life
Here .. [Read John 10:10b]
Hereafter .. [Read John 14:3]
How? How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness.
Take the step of faith described by another meaning of FAITH: Forsaking All I Trust Him
Prayer of Salvation: Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin and only through faith in Your death for my sin and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases you. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for loving and forgiving me.
Then tell someone about the important decision you have made. Grow in your faith and enjoy new friends in Christ by becoming a part of His church and attending the Sunday School class the church has for you.
