Have
You Ever Heard Of The 4 Spiritual Laws that show you HOW you can
know 100% for sure that you are at peace with God?
Just as there are physical laws
that govern the physical universe,
so are there spiritual laws which govern
your relationship with God.
LAW #1:
God LOVES you, and
offers a
wonderful PLAN for your life.
-
God's Love
"For God
so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal
life."
(John 3:16)
-
God's Plan
Jesus said,
"I came that they might have life, and might have it
abundantly" (that it might be full and meaningful) (John
10:10 )
So why is
it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?
Because...
LAW
#2
Man is SINFUL and
SEPARATED from God.
Therefore, he cannot know and experience
God's love and plan for his life.
Man is Sinful
"For all
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans
3:23)
Man was
created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn
self-will, he chose to go his own independent way and fellowship
with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude
of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what
the Bible calls sin.
Man is Separated
"For the
[result] of sin is death"--spiritual separation from God
(Romans 6:23 )
The diagram
below illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf
separates the two. The arrows show that man is continually trying
to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such
as living a good life, following specific philosophies or
religions, etc.

The
third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf...

LAW
#3
Jesus Christ is God's
ONLY provision
for Man's sin. Through Him
you can know and experience
God's love and plan for your life.
-
He Died in
Our Place
"But
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
-
He Rose
from the Dead
-
"Christ
died for our sins... He was buried... He was raised on the
third day, according to the Scriptures... He appeared to
Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than
five hundred..." (I Corinthians 15:3-6)
He
is the Only Way to God
"Jesus
said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one
comes to the Father, but through Me.'" (John 14:6 )
The diagram
below illustrates that God has bridged
the gulf which separates us from Him by
sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the
cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

It is not
enough just to know these three laws.
The Fourth Law
is essential...

LAW
#4
We must
individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ
as your personal Savior and Lord;
then we can know and experience
God's love and plan for our lives.
We
Must Receive Christ
"But
as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John
1:12 )
We
Receive Christ Through Faith
"For
by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that
no one should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
When
we receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
"I
tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he
is born of water and the Spirit. Do not be surprised when I say
you must be born again. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit
gives birth to spirit." (see John 3:1-8)
We
Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
Jesus
said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears
My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him."
(Revelation 3:20)
Receiving
Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance)
and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and
to make us the kind of people He wants us to be. Just to agree
intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He
died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to
have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith,
as an act of will.
The
two diagrams below represent two kinds of lives,
the self-directed life and the Christ-directed life:


Which circle best
represents your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?
You can receive
Christ right now by faith through prayer
(Prayer is
talking with God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words
as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a
suggested prayer:
Lord
Jesus, I need you. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins.
I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and
Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal
life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You
want me to be.
Does
this prayer express the desire of your heart?
If it does, pray this prayer right now, and
Christ will come into your life, just as He
promised.
Christ will come into your life, just as He
promised.
