Good News DECEMBER 2023 A4

Acknowledge — “For all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of
God” (Romans 3:23). We have all broken
God’s laws (Exodus 20:1-17). This
makes us sinners, so we are accountable
to God, the Lawgiver. Romans
6:23 says that “the wages of sin is death
but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord”. Acknowledge
that you are a sinner who has broken
God’s commandments and that you
therefore need Jesus in your life.
Repent — “Unless you repent,
you too will all perish” (Luke 13:3),
“Repent...and turn to God, so that your
sins may be wiped out” (Acts 3:19).
Repenting means to change your mind;
a sincere turning away, in heart, mind
and action. God wants you to repent of
sinful values and living. God wants you
to follow Him and to make Jesus the
Lord of your life.
Confess — “If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just and will forgive us
our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”
(1 John 1:9). “If you declare
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). God will forgive
any sin, because Jesus died for all your
sins, to set you free from the bondage
of all types of sin in your life.
Believe — “For 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). Believe that only Jesus can restore
your relationship with God; Jesus
is the only way you can escape eternal
separation from God; Jesus died on the
cross for you and was resurrected from
the grave. “He came to that which was
His own, but His own did not receive
Him. Yet to all who did receive Him, to
those who believed inHis name, He
gave the right to become children of
God” (John 1:11-12). By faith, receive
Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, become
a child of God, be born again, restore
your broken relationship with God.
