| To return to God means to do what the Bible calls repentance.
This is to make a decision to do things God's way instead of any other way.
This is where true blessing and life begins. Its like making a U-turn with your
life. To turn back from the way you were going and to begin going the way God
wants. God is gracious and kind. His desire is to forgive your sins,
give you everlasting peace, and provide
purpose and meaning to your life.
The Bible says all of us are sinners. Sin separates us from God
and if it is not dealt with, will eventually be the death of us. Unfortunately
we are unable to deal with our own sins, but God has provided a way through
Jesus.
Jesus was sent by God to become a man, to save us from our sins,
and to re-establish a link with Himself. Jesus lived a perfect life, but died a
sinners death when He was unfairly tried and crucified. He was God's perfect
sacrifice given on our behalf, that is, He died in our place. On the third day
He rose back to life and amazed even His own followers, but in doing so has
defeated forever the power of death.
Jesus now has the power to forgive sins and give us life, both
now and in eternity. This is where you should begin in your return to God.
Begin by accepting the sacrifice of His life in your place. By believing in His
ability to save you and cleanse you from your sins, you are forever pardoned in
the sight of God. From this point, sin no longer separates you from a heavenly
friendship, and this is where divine fellowship begins.
Let me lead you in a prayer to bring you close to this loving
God:
Father in heaven, I come to You
wanting to find friendship and connection with You. I am in no way worthy of
what you have done, because my sins have blocked my path to you. Now I ask that
the death of Jesus to forgive sin would enable my cleansing. Wash me of all my
sins, allow me to start over again. Please flood me with your Holy Spirit and I
invite you to make a home in my life. Amen.
