ABC: Admit, Believe, Commit
ABC to instantly go from death to life:
- Admit that you have offended God with your sins and deserve the penalty of eternal death in hell.
- Believe that Jesus came to die in your place and pay your penalty, and that He rose from the dead three days later.
- Commit to learn and obey Jesus’ commands and share His message (instead of living for yourself).
Ask: Do you admit... (read above)? Do you believe... (read above)? Are you ready to commit 100%?
If so, pray quietly right now and tell God in your own words you want to admit, believe and commit 100%. Then jump immediately to The Call!
The Call: First Steps with Jesus
Whenever anyone turns to God, Jesus said that the angels are rejoicing!
God instantly gives 3 things to everyone who does ABC from their heart:
- A Place in His family (a repaired relationship!)
- A Power through his Holy Spirit to be able to obey & walk with Him
- A Purpose – to bring others back to God too!
Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come. All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also. Our message is that God was making all human beings his friends through Christ. God did not keep an account of their sins, and he has given us the message which tells how he makes them his friends.
– 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (GNT)
