5 things you need to know before you accept christ as your savior

(not written by me)

God has a plan for your life.

"No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven." (John 3:27). God created you and has good plans for your life. To know those plans, you must know God personally.

God's plan gives meaning.

"Jesus replied, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." (John 6:35). Many people seek meaning and purpose for their life. But they never find it because they look for meaning in the wrong things and wrong people. When you follow God's plans for you life, the most important of which is to now Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you will find meaning and purpose in all that you do.

God's plan gives direction.

"Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, 'I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." (John 8:12). Without God's direction, you may not know what to do with your life. You may try a lot of things, hoping to find meaning in each one. But if you have God in your life, he will lead you and show you how to make your life count for him and his Kingdom.

God's plan brings peace.

"I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." (John 14:27). When you follow Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you will be at peace with God. You will also be filled with God's peace. So when troubles come, you will be able to have peace as you endure hardships.

God's plan is for you to live with him in heaven.

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16). Before Adam and Eve sinned (Genesis 3), they had a good relationship with God. Therefore, they were not ashamed to come into God's presence. But after they sinned, their relationship with God changed, and they were ashamed to come into God's physical presence. Sin had separated them and the entire human race - including you - from God. But God did not want sin to keep people from having a relationship with him. So he provided a way in which people could be cleansed of their sins and live with him in heaven forever. He gave his only Son, Jesus, as the perfect payment for everyone's sins.
