Steps To Peace W God 25pk

Most people have an idea of what they believe it will take to be accepted by God. After all, who likes the idea of exiting this life without being on good terms with him? Thankfully, it's possible to be certain that you've made peace with God, but the way must be chosen during this life. Here are the steps drawn from God's book, the Bible: Step 1. Understand God's purposes--peace and eternal life God loves you and wants you to experience peace and eternal, fulfilling life. The Bible says... "We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10 Why don't most people have this peace and the fulfilling (abundant) life that God intended for us to have? Step 2. Admit the problem--our sin and separation God did not create us like robots to automatically love and mechanically obey him. God gave us a will and the freedom to choose. The first man and woman chose to disobey God and go their own willful way. And we still make that choice today. This results in separation from God. The Bible says... "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23 People have tried many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God. The Bible says... "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death." Proverbs 14:12 "Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God..." Isaiah 59:2 No bridge reaches God... except one. Step 3. Discover God's bridge--the cross Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. Though he was God's sinless Son, he became a human, took our place, and paid the penalty for our sin, bridging the gap between God and us. The Bible says... "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."1 Timothy 2:5 "Christ... suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God." 1 Peter 3:18 "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us... the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 5:8, 3:23 "Christ died for our sins... he was buried... he was raised on the third day." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 God has provided the only way to forgiveness of sin and eternal life. But each person must make a choice. Step 4. Embrace the truth--receive Christ We must trust Jesus Christ as our Savior and receive him by personal choice. Jesus says... "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 The Bible says... "To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life." John 3:36 What is your decision? Will you receive Jesus Christ right now and trust in him alone for forgiveness and eternal life? The Bible says that's the only way to find peace with God! Admit your need--that you are a sinner in need of God's forgiveness. Be willing to turn from trusting in anything else for eternal life and trust only in Christ. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross, came back to life from the grave, and is your only way to heaven. Accept Jesus' offer to forgive your sins and come into your life as your Savior. You may want to tell him in words like these: "Dear Jesus, thank you for making it possible for me to find peace with God! I believe that when you died you were paying the penalty for my sins. I now receive you into my life as my Savior, so I can have forgiveness and never-ending life from God! Thank you for the gift of eternal life!"

Steps to Peace presents four easy-to-follow stages in order to truly understand the peace of God, and grasp the gift of eternal life that only comes through Jesus Christ.

Paso 1 EL PROPOSITO DE DIOS: LA PAZ Y VIDA ETERNA Dios te ama y quiere que vivas en paz con El y que recibas vida eterna. La Biblia dice... ..".tenemos paz con Dios por medio de nuestro SeNor Jesucristo." --Romanos 5:1 "Porque tanto amO Dios al mundo, que dio a su Hijo unigEnito, para que todo el que cree en El no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna." --Juan 3:16 ..".la dAdiva de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo JesUs, nuestro SeNor." ---Romanos 6:23b Si Dios planeO que tuviEramos paz con El y vida eterna, por quE muchas personas no disfrutan de esta experiencia? Paso 2 Nuestro Problema: EL Pecado y LA separaciOn Dios no nos hizo robots para que lo amA-ramos y obedeciEramos automAticamente, sino que nos dio voluntad propia y libertad para escoger. Pero, al igual que AdAn, con frecuencia escogemos desobedecer a Dios y seguir nuestro estilo de vida egoIsta (lee los capItulos 2 y 3 de GEnesis). Esta parte de nuestra naturaleza se conoce como pecado, y nos separa de Dios. La Biblia dice... "Pues todos han pecado y estAn privados de la gloria de Dios...porque la paga del pecado es muerte." --Romanos 3:23; 6:23 "Entonces [despuEs de que AdAn pecO] Dios el SeNor expulsO al ser humano del jardIn del EdEn..." --GEnesis 3:23a "Son las iniquidades de us-tedes las que los separan de su Dios. Son estos pecados los que lo llevan a ocultar su rostro para no escuchar." ---IsaIas 59:2 Nuestros pecados nos separan de Dios. Paso 3 El Remedio de Dios: La Cruz Jesucristo es la Unica respuesta a este problema de nuestra separaciOn de Dios. El muriO en la cruz y resucitO de los muertos para pagar el castigo por nuestros pecados, terminando completamente con la separaciOn que existIa entre nosotros y Dios. La Biblia dice... "Pero Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros en esto: en que cuando todavIa Eramos pecadores, Cristo muriO por nosotros." --Romanos 5:8 "De hecho, en ningUn otro hay salvaciOn, porque no hay bajo el cielo otro nombre dado a los hombres mediante el cual podamos ser salvos." --Hechos 4:12 "Porque hay un solo Dios y un solo mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre." --1 Timoteo 2:5 "Ciertamente les aseguro que el que oye mi palabra y cree al que me enviO, tiene vida eterna y no serA juzgado, sino que ha pasado de la muerte a la vida." --Juan 5:24 Dios ha provisto el Unico camino...y tenemos que tomar una decisiOn... Paso 4: Nuestra Respuesta: Recivir A Cristo Podemos recibir a Jesucristo cuando creemos en su mensaje y confiamos sOlo en El como nuestro Salvador. La Biblia dice... "De El dan testimonio todos los profetas, que todo el que cree en El recibe, por medio de su nombre, el perdOn de los pecados." --Hechos 10:43 "Mas a cuantos lo recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios." --Juan 1:12 "[JesUs dijo] No se angustien. ConfIen en Dios, y confIen tambiEn en mI." --Juan 14:1 Como Recibira Cristo 1. Admite tu necesidad (Soy pecador). 2. EstA dispuesto a arrepentirte de tus pecados (arrepiEntete). 3. Cree que Jesucristo muriO por ti en la cruz y que resucitO de los muertos. 4. Mediante la oraciOn, invita a Jesucristo a venir y a tomar dominio de tu vida por medio del EspIritu Santo. (RecIbelo como tu Salvador). Que orar? Bendito SeNor JesUs, sE que soy pecador y necesito tu perdOn. Creo que moriste para pagar el castigo por mi pecado. Quiero alejarme de mi naturaleza pecadora y seguirte. Te invito a venir a morar en mi corazOn y mi vida. En el nombre de JesUs. AmEn. Laseguridadde Dios: Su Palabra Si oraste de manera sincera y le pediste a Jesucristo que viniera a tu vida, sabes lo que El te ha dado? Tu Nueva Vida Cuando recibes a Cristo naces a la familia de Dios a travEs de la obra sobrenatural del EspIritu Santo, que habita en cada creyente...esto se conoce como la regeneraciOn o "el nuevo nacimiento." Que Dios te bendiga al iniciar tu maravillosa vida nueva en Cristo! La Biblia dice... "Todo el que invoque el nombre del SeNor serA salvo." --Romanos 10:13 "Ni lo alto ni lo profundo, ni cosa alguna en toda la creaciOn, podrA apartarnos del amor que Dios nos ha manifestado en Cristo JesUs nuestro SeNor." --Romanos 8:39 "En consecuencia, ya que hemos sido justificados mediante la fe, tenemos paz con Dios por medio de nuestro SeNor Jesucristo." --Romanos 5:1 "El que tiene al Hijo, tiene la vida; el que no tiene al Hijo de Dios, no tiene la vida. Les escribo estas cosas a ustedes que creen en el nombre del Hijo de Dios, para que sepan que tienen vida eterna." --1 Juan 5:12-13
