1 dd d b7m;ocif. arwmawmfesifht-uhtpnfawmfud -um;zl;ygovm;? Have You Heard of the Four Spiritual Laws? Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life. &yfw7m;rsm;u rsufjrifavmuud tpd ;7ovd emrfw7m;rsm;u taqgesif hb7m;ocif. qufog,fr=ud tpd ;7vsuf&S dygonf b7m;ocifonfrdwfaqgtm;cspfirdwfaqg.b0 twgufth hzg,faumif;aomt-uhtpnf&s dygonf? GOD S LOVE God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV). GOD S PLAN [Christ speaing] I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10). Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?

MAN IS SINFUL All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broen. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin. vlonftjypfom;jzpf. jcm;em;jcif;tv~if;r&sd/vltaygif;wd\onf'p&dufudjyki/b7m;ocif a&s\awmfytoa7ysuf-ujyd?

2 MAN IS SEPARATED The wages of sin is death [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23). vlesifhb7m;ocifugjugmjcif; tjypfw7m;.tcum;aojcif;aywnf;? (0dnmOfa7;Yb7m;ocifESif ha0;ugmogm;jcif; ud qd vd.?)(a7m6;23) This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion but he inevitably fails. The third law explains the only. way to bridge this gulf Jesus Christ is God s ONLY provision for man s sin. Through Him you can now and experience God s love and plan for your life. oef\&sif;aomb7m; HOLY GOD SINFUL MAN tjypfom; b7m;ocifesifhvlpyf-um;ytvgef-ud;rm;aom ugjugmr=udjzpfapygonf?vlwd\onfb7m; ocifxhawmfod\a7muf7efesifh-ug,f0aom toufwmud7&sd7efuodvfaumif;r=/tawg;tac:/ bmomw7m;esifhud,fusi\fw7m;rsm;udtm;ud;i -udk;pm;ae-uygonf?wwd,w7m;uxd-ud;rm; aomugjugmr=udqufpyfedifaomwpfcwnf;aom vrf;udaz:jyxm;ygonf? vl.tjypftwguf b7m;ocif jyifqif ay;aomvrf;rsm a,&=c7pfawmfyifjzpfonf? xd a,&=c7pfawmftm;jzif hom rdwfaqgonf b7m;ocif.arwmawmfesif ht-uhtpnfawmf ud od&s dchpm;ed ifygonf? HE DIED IN OUR PLACE God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD Christ died for our sins He was buried He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred (1 Corinthians 15:3-6). HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me (John 14:6). b7m;ocif This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

3 We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can now and experience God s love and plan for our lives. WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name (John 1:12) WE RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH FAITH By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of wors, that no one should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9). WE RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH PERSONAL INVITATION [Christ speaing] Behold, I stand at the door and noc; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him (Revelation 3:20). Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to mae us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional expereince. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will. ocifa,&=c7pfawmfud rdwfaqgud,fwd if u,fwif&sifociftaejzif hvufch,h -unf7ay vdrf hrnf?od \rsomrdwfaqgonfb7m;ocif. arwmawmfesif ht-uhtpnfawmfud od&s dchpm; Ed ifayvdrf hrnf? a,&=c7pfawmfudvufch,h-unfjcif; xdol(a,&=c7pfawmf)udvufchor~aomolwnf;[laomud,fawmf (a,&=c7pfawmf)ud,h-unfaomolwd\tm;b7m;ocif.om;jzpf7aom tcgifhuday;awmfrl.?

4 YOU CAN RECEIVE CHRIST RIGHT NOW BY FAITH THROUGH PRAYER (PRAYER IS TALKING TO GOD) God nows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer: Lord Jesus, I need You. Than You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Than You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Tae control of the throne of my life. Mae me the ind of person You want me to be. Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised. a,&=c7pfawmfud,h-unfjcif;jzifhqawmif;ivufchzdwfac: Edifygonf?

HOW TO KNOW THAT CHRIST IS IN YOUR LIFE Did you receive Christ into your life? According to His promise in Revelation 3:20, where is Christ right now in relation to you? Christ said that He would come into your life. Would He mislead you? On what authority do you now that God has answered your prayer? (The trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.) THE BIBLE PROMISES ETERNAL LIFE The witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may now that you have eternal life (1 John 5:11 13). Than God often that Christ is in your life and that He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). You can now on the basis of His promise that Christ lives in you and that you have eternal life from the very moment you invite Him in. He will not deceive you. oif.pdwfesvh ;xjyc7pfawmf&s da-umif;rnfujhod\odedifygrnfenf; qawmif;aomtcgoif.pdwfesvh ;xjytrsefwu,fc7pfawmf0ifa7mufaeygovm;?

5 AN IMPORTANT REMINDER DO NOT DEPEND ON FEELINGS The promise of God s Word, the Bible not our feelings is our authority. The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word. This train diagram illustrates the relationship among fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience). (Read John 14:21.) The truc will run with or without a trailer. However, it would be useless to attempt to pull the truc by the trailer. In the same way, as Christians we do not depend on feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and the promises of His Word. ta7;-ud;aomowday;csuf pdwf.chpm;r=udt"durxm;7ef b7m;ocif.e=wfuywfawmfjzpfaomormusrf;pm(u`e fwd \.chpm;r=r[wf)onf u`efwd\.tm+mydifjzpfonf?c7pf,mefqdonfrsm,h-unftm;ud; xdufaomb7m;ocifesifhol.ormusrf;pmtwdif;,h-unfivdufav~muf touf&sifoljzpfygonf?atmufazmfjyaomoyrmonformw7m;(b7m;ocifesif horm usrf;pm)/,h-unfjcif;(b7m;ocifesifhormusrf;pmtay:u`efwd\. tm;ud;r=)esifhpdwfchpm;r=(,h-unfem;axmifjcif;tuskd;)wd\.qufog,f r=ud&sif;jyxm;ygonf? armfawmfum;onfaemufwgjygonfjzpfaprygonfjzpfapogm;edifyg onf?od\7mwgifaemufwgjjzifharmfawmfum;udqgj7eftm;xwf-udk;pm;ygu tcsnf;eds;omjzpfrnf?xd\twlc7pf,mefwpfod;onfpdwf.chpm;r=(od\) pdwfv=yf&sm;r=udt"durxm;bj,h-unftm;ud;xdufaob7m;ocifesifh usrf;pmtay:yomt"duxm;i,h-unfoifhygonf? pdwfchpm;r=,h-unfjcif; ormw7m; FEELINGS FEELINGS FAITH FAITH FACT FACT TRAILER GASOLINE TRUCK NOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST The moment that you received Christ by faith, as an act of the will, many things happened, including the following: 1.

6 ls h SUGGESTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN GROWTH Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ. The righteous man shall live by faith (Galatians 3:11). A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life, and to practice the following: G Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7). R Read God s Word daily (Acts 17:11); begin with the Gospel of John. O Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21). W Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19; John 15:8). T Trust God for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7).

Several logs burn brightly together; but put one aside on the cold hearth and the fire goes out. So it is with your relationship with other Christians. If you do not belong to a church, do not wait to be invited. Tae the initiative; call the pastor of a nearby church where Christ is honoured and His Word is preached.
