The steps to peace - and to eternal life - are so simple they almost seem TOO simple. And yet they've worked over and over, and they'll work for you.
FIRST, you must recognize what God has done for you by sending His Son, Jesus. He has made it possible for your sins to be forgiven.
SECOND, you must repent of your sins. Jesus said you must be more than just "sorry" for the things you have done. With God's help, you must be willing to change.
THIRD, you must invite Jesus Christ into your life by faith. The Bible says we cannot save ourselves.
FOURTH, you need to confess Christ openly. When you tell someone - a pastor or one or two friends - that you have accepted Christ's love your you, your first steps in this new direction will be firm and sure. Telling someone else demonstrates that you mean business and take this important decision seriously.
