STEP 1
GOD’S LOVE
There are many problems in the world today. Although peace, happiness and love are
desired by many, only very few know what it means to have abundant life.
God loves you and He wants you to have abundant life. God has a wonderful plan for
your life. God loves you because it is his nature to love. Many today are not enjoying
the love of God. Are you one of such people? You will discover the reason.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10

STEP 2
MAN’S PROBLEM
Although man was created in the image of God and was meant to live an abundant life,
man got into problem because of sin. Sin separates from God. It also hinders us from
enjoying the love of God. Over the centuries, man has made many efforts in order to
be at peace with God. But all these efforts have not helped man. Sin can be likened to
a great wall which separates from God. And with this wall, man’s problem will remain.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear
heavy, that it cannot hear; But your iniquities have separated between you and
your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:1,2

STEP 3
GOD’S SOLUTION
What can we do to get man’s problem solved? Is there a way out?
God knows that we would not be able to find a way out through our own efforts. He
provided the solution. His love for fallen man made him to draw the plan of Salvation.
He allowed His Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer for us; so that through the suffering and
sacrifice of His Son we can pass from death to life.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me. John 14:6
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us; even
when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye
are saved;) Ephesians 2:4,5

STEP 4
MAN’S RESPONSE
You have a part to play in other to benefit from God’s love. You can not benefit unless
you respond personally. Salvation is God’s free gift. But, you must receive this gift
before you can enjoy it.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:20
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12
Are you ready to respond? Are you willing to receive God’s free gift right now? Will
you decide to receive Christ now?

WHAT YOU MUST DO:
1. Admit that you are a sinner now.
2. Be willing to repent now.
3. Believe that Jesus died for your sins.
4. Go to God in prayers, repent and invite Jesus into your life.
A SUGGESTED PRAYER
Almighty God, I thank you because you love me. When I was lost in sin, you sent
your Son Jesus Christ to die for me. I believe that the blood He shed was for my
pardon. Today I repent of all my sins and ask for forgiveness. Lord Jesus, come
into my heart. Save me now. I invite you into my heart today. Be my Saviour
and my Lord. Thank you for coming into my heart according to your promise. In
Jesus Name I pray. (Amen).
