18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return."
If you are ready to accept Gods
Son and have faith in him, here are the simple steps in becoming a child of
God:
1) You must repent. You must admit you are a sinner; you have
rebelled against a Holy and Loving God. There must be a change of Heart- a
genuine sorrow and shame for your sin.
2) You must have Faith in Jesus
Christ. You must accept
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and Christ died for the ungodly
and sinners. It means to believe in the power and love of Jesus to save you. It
means trusting Jesus to make you right with God.
3) You must confess. The Bible says that if you confess with your
mouth "Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead you will be saved.
4) Pray. You are now able to speak to God as your
Father, something that you have never been able to do before.
One last thing, begin a relationship
with fellow believers by attending church and getting involved in Christs
ministry and work. God does not promise life on earth will be made easier- He
is not a genie in a bottle. But he
promises to be there for you always. He promises you eternity where all tears
will pass away. You will be truly
blessed by seeking a strong relationship with your Savior- Jesus Christ. God has wonderful things awaiting us in
heaven. Look at who you have now become
in Christ Jesus:

Condemned! Romans 8: 1-2 1There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the

Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
5)
God Loves You
Forever! Romans 8: 35 & 38-39 35Who shall separate us from the love
of Christ? 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be
able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
