Admit -
As the Scriptures say:
• There is none righteous, not even one. Romans 3:10,
NASB (New American Standard Bible)
• For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans
3:23, NASB
Believe - that God's Son Jesus Christ
makes possible your having a right relationship with God.
There is nothing that you can do, no matter how good or great, to ever restore
your relationship with God.
• Namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,
not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word
of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19, NASB
Confess - your sin to God and accept
His forgiveness.
Everyone of us chooses to live our lives like we want to, taking charge, ignoring
God, pleasing ourselves. That's what separates us from God. That's why we need
His forgiveness.
• "Therefore let it be known to you, brethen, that through Him forgiveness
of sins is proclaimed to you". Acts 13:38, NASB
Dedicate
- yourself as a fully devoted follower of Christ.
Receiving God's gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ will set you in a direction
exactly opposite of the one you've been going in because now you're following
Christ.
• And He was saying to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me,
he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me."
Luke 9:23, NASB
Express - your faith in Christ publicly.
What God does for you in His Son Jesus Christ is the greatest thing that will
ever happen to you. It requires a clear confession that you have given Him your
very life.
• That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9, NASB
