 Have
you really heard of the path to God? The real meaning of
life? It's pretty simple yet more
important than anything you will be confronted with in your
lifetime.
So are you wondering what all this 'Christian' music is about?
Or why do some mainstream artists claiming to be 'born again'
avoid the lifestyles of typical rock stars? Well, there is
an answer. But first let me warn you, the steps below will
change your eternal destiny one way or another. You have
the option in your lifetime to either accept or decline what is
presented to you. That's the beauty of free will.

Step 1
- God loves you and is seeking to have a personal
relationship with you. |
"In this is love, not
that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son
to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:10)
God loves you and planned a wonderful, full life for
you. He wants to enter a personal and intimate
relationship with you that includes fellowship, inner
peace, happiness, guidance in life and power to fulfill
His special plan for your life.

Step 2
- Sin has created a barrier between man and God. |
“For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
God is Holy, and cannot have a relationship with anyone
who falls short of His righteous character. Sin began
when man went his own independent way and rejected his
relationship with God. At that point, man became
unacceptable to God’s Holy character.
No matter how sincere we are, or how hard we try, or how
religious we are, we can never produce a righteousness
that God can accept. Even our good deeds are not
acceptable in God’s sight.
“But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our
righteousness are like filthy rags…” (Isaiah 64:6)

Step 3 -
Jesus Christ came to remove the barrier between God and
man. |
Jesus said of Himself,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but
to serve, and to give His life a
ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28)
You see, God so loved us that He stepped out of eternity
into time and became a man in the person of Jesus
Christ. He lived a perfect life as a man and thus
qualified to die for the sins of the world. He then
willingly died in our place to purchase a pardon for
sins and satisfy the demands of His own perfect justice.
When He did, He tore down the barrier of sin that
separated us.

Step 4
- Now there is only one barrier between you and God.
You
must receive the pardon Jesus purchased for you. |
Jesus Christ has removed
every barrier that stood between you and God except one
you must receive the pardon He purchased for you by
an act of your will. You see, a pardon is not a pardon
until it is received. There is a pardon with your name
on it in heaven, but you must receive it to make it
valid.
It is not a matter of how good you are or even how
bad you are. The issue is, will you talk to God and tell
him you receive the pardon he purchased for you. He
wants you to come just as you are and confess you can
never be good enough for Him to accept.
You can change your eternal destiny right now. Wherever
you are, just bow your head and tell God you receive His
pardon for your sins. Ask Jesus Christ to come into
your life and begin to give you a new heart with new
desires. He will come into your life and bring a new
power and motivation for living you never dreamed
possible.
