SONSHINE
How can the Son shine in your life????
the LORD's name is to be praised. Psalms 113:3
Do this today!!!!
Realize that you are a lost sinner, and are separated from God by those sins.
Some have summed this up as, "Good is not good enough."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
**********************
Repent.
To repent is to be sorry for one's sins,
regretting the way
that person has lived their life, and to seek forgiveness.
"...Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 3:2
"And the times of this ignorance God winked at;
but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent." Acts 17:30
"For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation
not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 2 Corinthians 7:10
"For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin." Psalms 38:18
**************************
Confess your sins to God.
To confess means to acknowledge, or agree to the truth; admit.
"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
"And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their
deeds." Acts 19:18
***********************
Forsake your sins.
Forsake means to quit, or leave entirely, to desert, abandon,
to depart
from. "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth
and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13
**********************
Believe and obey the Word of God.
"...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house." Acts 16:31
"But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6
"If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils
also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith
without works is dead?" James 2:19-20
************************
Read your Bible and pray daily.
Of the English translations, I can only recommend the King James Bible,
which was translated by men inspired and led by the Holy Spirit
and is the in errant, and complete Word of God in English.
Many will debate this point. I suggest you sincerely pray asking
Gods' wisdom and guidance as to which one He would have you study.
The Bible tells us that we are made "clean" by Gods'
Word as it
works in those who believe (John 15:3; 1 Thessalonians 2:13), therefore
it is very important, if you are to grow in the things
of God. Ask God to give you a "hunger" for His Word and for Godly
things. If you are truly seeking, He will answer such a prayer.
"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. For it is God which worketh
in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passedaway; behold, all things
are become new." Ephesians 2:8-9; Philippians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17
