Do You Have A Relationship with the LORD God? Steps to the LORD GOD

Seek the LORD God
“Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.”

Confess your sins to the LORD God
“I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,’ and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.’” (Psalm 32:5)

Hear the Word of LORD God (Life and Judgment Are Through the Son of God)
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24)

Believe in the Gospel News of the Son of God
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16:31)

“Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

Obey the LORD God with all your Heart
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:2)

Come to the LORD God
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Receive the LORD JESUS as your Savior
“But as man as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13)

Be Baptized in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST
“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” (Acts 2:38)

Pray without ceasing to the LORD our God
“For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved”
“Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5: 17-22)

Follow the Lord God Daily
“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.’” (John 8:12)

SOW Good Seeds for the Kingdom of God
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” (Galatians 6:7,8)

If you are ready to take steps toward a relationship with the LORD God, pray this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I believe that You died to pay for my sins on the cross. I want You to be LORD of my life. Please come into my heart and fill me with Your Holy Spirit so I may follow You all the days of my life.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
