Steps to peace with God

The Road to Truth

…is found in the Bible in the book of Romans.

Romans 3:23
“..for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.  We were born under the power of sin’s control.
- Admit that you are a sinner.

Romans 6:23a
“…the wages of sin is death…”
Sin has an ending. It results in death. We all face physical death, which is a result of sin.  But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity.  – Understand that you deserve death for your sin.

Romans 6:23b
“…but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Salvation is a free gift from God to you!   We can’t earn this gift, but we must reach out and receive it.
- Ask God to forgive you and save you.

Romans 5:8
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.”
When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin’s penalty.  He paid the cosmic price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death!   The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He has done for us, understanding that we are now joined with Him, and that He is our life.  Because He loved us and gave Himself for us!
- Give your life to God…His love poured out in Jesus on the cross is your only hope to have forgiveness and change.  His love bought you out of being a slave to sin.  His love is what saves you. Not religion, or church membership.  God loves you! And reaches you right where you are.

Romans 10:13
“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved!”
- Call out to God in the name of Jesus!

Romans 10:9 -10
“…If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
If you know that God is knocking on your heart door, ask Him to come into your heart.

Believe in Him.   Ask Him to come in to your heart by faith, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.  Open the bible to the gospel of John and read what God says about Jesus, about you, and about being born again.
God will help you.  Just talk to Him.  He loves you.
