True Victory
As great as it is to turn a monster caber or clear a PR in weight over bar, there's a more amazing feeling than that. It's a feeling of victory... true victory. This victory is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Attaining true victory can be found through the ABC's. Yep, it's that simple.
A: Admit
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
First, you must ADMIT that you're a sinner, or gone against God's will.
We've all sinned, no one (except Jesus) has lived a perfect life. Because of this, we can't make it to heaven, and deserve to spend eternity in hell.
We have to ADMIT that we can't make it alone. ADMIT that you need Jesus.
B: Believe
"For God so loved the world, that he sent his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16.
Next, you must believe that Jesus died on the cross for everyone.
He loved each and everyone of us so much, that He died and rose again so that we might live forever in heaven.
BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose from the dead for you.
C: Commit
"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9
Lastly, you must commit your life to Jesus.
Pray and ask Him to come and live in your heart.
You cannot make it into heaven on your own, but by COMMITTING your life to Jesus and asking Him to save you from your sin, you can spend eternity with Him.
If you'd like to ask Jesus into your heart, simply pray something like this:
Jesus, I know I've sinned, and I'm sorry.
Please forgive me and come into my heart. Take control of my life.
I know only You can save me, and I commit my life to you. Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer for the first time, you've just make the most important decision in your life!
Please, contact me and let me know if you have made this amazing decision...
You've now attained true victory!
