Get honest with yourself (and others) and admit
that you are a rebel before the God who made you
the God who is there and has not been silent
and that you deserve to be condemned by Him.
| conviction |
Turn away from your present manner of life
your way of thinking, living, understanding.
Decide to live so as to please God alone
not yourself as He has revealed His will in His Word.
| repentance |
Ask God to forgive you personally
for all that you have done
that has violated His commands.
Receive personally the forgiveness
he freely offers
to those who put their trust
in Jesus Christ, His Son.
| faith |
Enjoy the peace that comes
from being right with God .
Jesus Christ has taken upon Himself
your just condemnation
your sins have been accounted to Him,
even as his righteousness has
been accounted to you.
| justification |
Rejoice that you are now
called "Son" or "Daughter."
You are no longer a stranger
in your Father's household.
You are an heir together with all
the faithful who have gone before.
Indeed, that inheritance has been sealed
notarized by the Gift of the Holy Spirit
who now indwells you.
| adoption |
Now, seek other family members,
that you might prepare for the great feast
that awaits us in the world to come.
