IT'S A FREE GIFT! Your Opportunity to Accept Christ
This opportunity will change your life---forever!
You might say 'Why do I need to accept Christ?'. What does that mean? What do I have to do?
Accepting Christ is inviting Him - Jesus - into your life, into your heart. Jesus came for one reason. To save us from eternal death by dying for us - YOU and ME! Why? Because we are sinners - which means we have all broken one or more of God's commandments.
But you might say:
~ I am a good person. Why do I need Jesus?
~ I go to church - isn't that enough?
~ I am too bad to be saved.
~ I can't possibly live like that.
~ I just need to straighten some things out first.
~I'm too young, or I'm too old.
You may think you are a 'good' person but...
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. ~Romans 3:23
...there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:12b
Going to church is not enough either.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
You are 'too bad' you say?
I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matthew 9:13
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
1 Timothy 1:15
Jesus did not come to save "good" people - He came to save sinners.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
Too young? Too old? Life mixed-up right now?
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2b
Ok..now what? How can you accept Jesus Christ - to be forgiven, to have eternal life...?
Acknowledge that we are all sinners and need forgiveness.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
~Romans 3:23
Admit your sins and repent - You must admit to God that you are a sinner and confess your sins to Him.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;Acts 3:19
Not only do we need to confess our sins, we need to repent - meaning to turn away from them.
Believe that Jesus is the son of the living God and that He died for your sins.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.Romans 5:8
Receive Jesus as Lord and surrender your life to Him.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.Romans 10:9
Are you ready to take the most important step of your life?
If you are, and you understand what you have read, then all you have to do is ask Him to save you. Pray the prayer that follows or use your own words from your heart.
"Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and that I am separated from you. I believe that you died for me on the cross and rose again to give eternal life. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and take total control of my life. I invite you Jesus to live in my heart. Thank You for saving me and making me your child.
In Jesus' Name, Amen."
Now that you have prayed the prayer, what's next?
Welcome to God's family!
The next step is to tell someone about your new faith in Christ.
Find a local church to help you grow in your faith, to worship, and for fellowship with other believers.
Spend time with God every day by reading and studying the Bible, praying to God to help you grow in your faith and trust in Him.
Remember that salvation is a gift and a way of life. God has given us this plan because He loves us so much and does not wish that we should perish-but live forever......
Behavioral Warning Signs A Child May Have Been Abused
http://www.stopitnow.com
Some of these behavioral signs can show up at other stressful times in a child's life such as divorce, the death of a family member, friend or pet, or when there are problems in school, as well as when abuse is involved.
Any one sign doesn't mean the child was abused, but several of them mean that you should begin asking questions.
Do you notice some of these following behaviors in children you know well?
~Nightmares, trouble sleeping, fear of the dark, or other sleeping problems.
~Extreme fear of "monsters".
~Spacing out at odd times.
~Loss of appetite, or trouble eating or swallowing.
~Sudden mood swings: rage, fear, anger, or withdrawal.
~Fear of certain people or places (e.g., a child may not want to be left alone with a baby-sitter, a friend, a relative, or some other child or adult;
~ or a child who is usually talkative and cheery may become quiet and distant when around a certain person).
~Stomach illness all of the time with no identifiable reason.
~An older child behaving like a younger child, such as bed-wetting or thumb sucking.
~Sexual activities with toys or other children, such as simulating sex with dolls or asking other children/siblings to behave sexually.
~New words for private body parts.
~Refusing to talk about a "secret" he/she has with an adult or older child.
~Talking about a new older friend.
