Do You Rise Above Your Circumstances with Peace?
Steps to Peace With God:
God loves you and wants you to experience His peace and life. The Bible says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Being at peace with God is not automatic because by nature you are separated from God. The Bible says: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
God’s love bridges the gap of separation between God and you. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for your sins. The Bible says: “He personally carried a load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24).
You cross the bridge into God’s family when you receive Christ by personal invitation. The Bible says: “But like 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).
What to Pray
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should:
- Read your Bible every day to know Christ better.
- Talk to God in prayer every day.
- Tell others about Christ.
- Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached.
- As Christ's representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.
