Seeking Christ, Being Saved

There are times in our lives when we can't comprehend what's happening. There are times when we feel like we have all the riches on earth, but is still looking for something more.

There's a leak we can't plug. Only God can fulfill our hearts to its utmost satisfaction.

If you really want to start seeking Christ, then here are some of the initial steps you can take.

Admit that we are sinners and cannot save ourselves

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23

No matter how we look at it, at some point in our lives, we have sinned. We cannot do anything to save ourselves.

Sins must be paid

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

We are not worthy to be with the Lord in heaven. We deserve to go to hell for all the sins we have committed. Our death shall be the payment of our sins.

But God loves us so much. He gave His Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. He is the ultimate sacrifice for all our sins (past, present, and future).

We must act

Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12

Knowing is one thing, believing is another. We must accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

If you're ready to make that decision, then use this prayer to guide you.

Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner.
Thank You for dying on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins.
I now receive you as my personal Savior and my Lord.
Take control of my life and use me as an instrument to share Your Word.
Amen.
