1 WINTER LARGE PRINT Southern Baptist Guide for Personal Devotions
2 HOWTO BECOME A CHRISTIAN Before you were born, God wanted you to know Him personally. He chose to show you how much He loves you. But to accept His offer, you need to know the ABC s of Salvation. ADMIT to God you re a sinner. Sin is refusing to acknowledge God s authority over your life. Everyone sins. The result of sin is spiritual death or eternal separation from God when you die. Repent; turn away from your sin and toward God. (See Acts 3:19; Romans 3:23; 6:23.) BELIEVE in Jesus Christ as God s Son and accept Jesus gift of forgiveness from sin. Jesus took the penalty for your sin by dying on the cross because you could not meet God s requirement for a perfect sacrifice for your sins. (See John 3:16.) CONFESS to God your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As Lord, Jesus has earned the right to be obeyed as a sheep obeys his shepherd. (See Romans 10:9-10,13; 1 John 1:9.) You may pray a prayer similar to this: Dear God, I know that You love me. I admit I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my sin. I place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name I pray, amen. If you sincerely asked Jesus to be your Savior, tell a pastor or another Christian about your decision. Show your faith in Christ by asking a Bible-believing church for baptism by immersion. (See Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41.) To find a church, call the church or person who provided you with this copy of Open Windows. Read the Bible Through Each daily devotional includes the Read the Bible Through Scripture, which allows you to read the entire Bible in one year.

7 Thursday, December 1 Open Windows* Devotional Passage: Daniel 6:10-23 Read the Bible Through: Daniel Peter 3 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Daniel 6:10 John Bunyan lived in England at a time when the only lawful worship was that conducted by the state church. However, he was a Baptist and desired to preach his convictions. On November 12, 1660, he was arrested for preaching. Since he refused to flee, he was sent to jail. For this offense, he remained in the Bedford County jail for 12 years, unable to get his case heard. This man, author of The Pilgrim s Progress, chose to obey God rather than men. Daniel also chose to obey God rather than men. He did not pray in order to defy King Darius or to put on a show; he simply acted according to a fixed habit of obedience to the King of kings. The open windows were necessary so that he might be able to look toward Jerusalem, the holy city, and thus turn his thoughts to heavenly concerns. Father, I pray for the courage to obey God rather than men and for wisdom to do so in the right spirit. *Originally published October 9, 1969
