THE ABCs OF SALVATION
To know God and be ready for heaven, follow these steps:

A.  Admit you are a sinner.

“There is no one righteous, not even one … for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:10, 23). Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).

B.  Believe in Jesus as your only hope of salvation.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Become a child of God by receiving Christ.
“To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

C.  Confess that Jesus is your Lord.

“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” (Romans 10:9).

When it comes to sports, I have noticed the importance of a winning attitude. Just because you win a few games you don’t say, “That’s good enough” or “I can settle back now to enjoy my past success.” Thoughts like that start a losing streak! Proverbs 9:9 gives us a winning attitude about life: “Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.” The desire to increase wisdom and a hunger for learning God’s ways propel the believer from victory to victory. Lord, help us never to settle for past success when there are so many present opportunities to seize!
