1. Recognize the indisputible fact that you are a sinner	Romans 3:23 says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
	Our Human instinct is to reject the responsiblity of our sinfulness. We try to rationalize it ("I'm not doing anything anyone else hasn't done."), minimize it ("Hey it doesn't affect anyone but me"), or even rename it ("There were a few errors in judgement on our part"). But God desires us to take responsibility for our sin and turn from it.
2. Repent of your sins	Repent means literally means, "to turn away from." Scripture says to repent and be converted...that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
	There needs to be a definite change in behavior. This will indicate whether there is a true desire to follow Christ.
	If we think we are Christians, but our behavior is opposite of a biblical lifestyle, we should seriously examine ourselves. God desires us to walk holy and gives us the ability to do so
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to take away your sins	The Bible tells us that Jesus paid the price "once and for all" for any who would call on Him and turn away from their sin. His death on the cross was the cost for our sin. He took our place
	In John's Gospel, Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
	Not everyone goes to Heaven; only those who place their faith for salvation in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
4. Receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life	"But as many received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." (John 1:12)
	God does not desire for anyone to perish, and has given Jesus as a sacrifice to pay for the sins of those who would Him with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength.
	Make that decision today. Let Christ come in and make the changes He needs to make.
