o Ill 1 o OF 6 O C 0 Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God. LAW ONE GOD LOVES YOU, AND HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. GOD'S LOVE For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes In Him should not perish, but have eternal lite tJohn 3:16j. GOD'S PLAN fChrist speakingl I came that they might have lite, and might have it abundantIy tthat it mlght be full and meanlnglulj John I0:10J. Why Is lt that most people are not experiencing the abundant Illa? r.Aw TWO ' MAN IS SINFUL AND SEPARATED FROM GOD, THUS HE CANNOT KNOW AND EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE AND PLAN FOR HIS LIFE. MAN IS SINFUL For all have sinned and tall short ol the glory ot God tRomans 3:23J. Man was created to have Iellowship with God: but, because ot his own stubborn sell-will, he chose to go his own independent way and Iellowship with God was broken. This sell-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indillerence, is an evidence ot what the Bible calls sin. X noir coo f MAN IS SEPARATED For the wages ol sln is death tsplrltual separation Irom-Godt tRomans 6:23J. ' God is holy and man is sinlul. A great chasm separates the two. Men are conllnually trying to reach God and K the abundant lite through their own etiorts: good lite, ethics, philosophy, etc. M In MN The Third Law gives us the only answer to this dilemma . . . LAW THREE JESUS CHRIST IS GOD'S ONLY PROVISION FOR MAN'S SIN. THROUGH HIM YOU CAN KNOW AND EXPERI- ENCE GOD'S LOVE AND PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. HE DIED IN OUR PLACE But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died lor us tRoman's 5:81. HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD ChrisI died lor our sins . . . He was buried . . . He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures . . . He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Alter that He appeared to more than tive hundred . . . II Corinthians 15:3-GJ. HE IS THE ONLY WAY zJJe,susa?zg:t to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the lite, no one comes to the Father, but through Me' o n : . God has bridged the chasm which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the 'W' cross in our place. lt ls not enough to know these three laws, nor even to give intellectual assent to them . . . LAW FOUR WE MUST INDIVIDUALLY RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD, THEN WE CAN KNOW AND EX- PERIENCE GOD'S LOVE AND PLAN FOR OUR LIVES. WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST j'But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children ot God, even to those who believe in His name tJohn 1:12J. WE RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH FAITH For by grace you have been saved through Iaithg and that not ol yourselves, it is the gift ot God: not as a result ot works, that no one should boast tEphesians 2:8,9l. WE RECEIVE CHRIST BY PERSONAL INVITATION Behold, I stand at the door and knock: il any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him tReveIation 3:20J. Receiving Christ involves turning to God from sell, trusting C hrist to come into our lives, to Iorgive our sins and make us what He wants us to be. It is notenough to give intellectual assent tc His claims or to have emotional experience. SELF CONTROLLED LIFE CHRIST CONTROLLED LIFE Ego or Ilnrte sell on T -- Christ on the throne ot the throne the III? - ul r - Interests under control T Chrlst outside the llte ' 0' Inmme God' Yasuh- THESE TWO CIRCLES REPRESENT TWO KINDS OF LIVES: E - . v - Interests controlled by ing in hgrmqny gnd It reaultln ln se , 9 purpose discord and trustretlon E - Ego - sen demmned Which circrle represents your llle? which circle would you like to have represent your lite?

The tollowlng ls a suggested prayer: Lord Jesus, I need You. I open the door ol my lite and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You tor forgiving my sins. Take control ot the throne ol my llte. Make me the kind ol person You want me to be. Does this prayer express the desire ol your heart? It It does, pray this prayer right now, and Christ wlll come into your lite, as He promised.
