Step 1: SEEK GOD & HIS WAY
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 Step 2: KNOW GOD, KNOW LOVE Dear friends, let us Love one another, for LOVE COMES FROM GOD. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not LOVE does not know God, because GOD IS LOVE. This is how GOD SHOWED HIS LOVE AMONG US: HE SENT HIS ONE AND ONLY SON into the world that we may live through Him. THIS IS LOVE: not that we loved God, but that He loves us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since GOD SO LOVED US we also ought to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and HIS LOVE is made complete in us. We know that we LIVE IN HIM and He in us, because He has given us His Spirit. And we have seen and TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. If anyone acknowledges that JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE. Whoever LIVEs IN LOVE lives in God, and God in him. In this WAY, LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE AMONG US so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like Him. There is NO FEAR IN LOVE. But PERFECT LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in LOVE. We Love because HE FIRST LOVED US. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not LOVE his brother, whom he has seen, cannot LOVE GOD, whom he has not seen. And HE HAS GIVEN US THIS COMMAND: WHOEVER LOVES GOD MUST LOVE HIS BROTHER. Step 3: BELIEVE IN JESUS, THE SON of GOD Jesus answered, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 When JESUS SPOKE again to the people He said, "I AM THE LIGHT of the world. Whoever FOLLOWS ME WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS, but WILL HAVE THE LIGHT of LIFE. John 8:12 Step 4: LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Mathew 22:37-40 Step 5: OBEY THE TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These Words are not My own; they belong to The Father who sent Me. All of this I have spoken while still with you. But The Counselor, The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave you; My Peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:23-27 Step 6: TURN FROM SIN & LIVE A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS So, I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the Life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of Him and we're taught in Him in accordance with The Truth that is in Jesus. You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to Be Made New in the Attitudes of your minds; and to Put on the New Self, Created to be like God in True Righteousness and Holiness. Ephesians 4:17-24 Step 7: BE STRONG IN THE LORD BE CLOTHED IN GOD'S ARMOR Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His Mighty Power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the Belt of Truth buckled around your waist, with the Breastplate of Righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from The Gospel of Peace. In addition to all this, take up The Shield of Faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take The Helmet of Salvation and The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God. And Pray in The Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and Always Keep on Praying for all the Saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given to me so that I may fearlessly make known the mystery of The Gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Peace to the brothers, and Love with Faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to all who Love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying Love. Ephesians 6:10-19 & 23-24 |
