Step 4:	What God Asks Of You:

		You must choose this relationship with God. You cross the bridge into God's family when you turn to God by asking Christ to be part of your life. There's no such thing as a one-way relationship. God has done His part when His Son died for you, now it's your move.     Turning TO God means you are also turning FROM something. If you turn TO the west, you must turn FROM the east, since you can't face east and west at the same time.     It's the same with Jesus and sin. As you turn to Him, you "repent", which means you realize you cannot give yourself to Jesus while hanging onto the sin He died for. That means turning your back on "my way" choices such as lying, sexual immorality, anger, etc. to begin doing things God's way. To receive Christ you need to do four things: 1. your spiritual need. Admit you are a sinner. 2. and be willing to turn from your sin. 3. that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross. 4. Jesus Christ into your heart and life.

How Do We Know This?		Revelation 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in. Romans 10:13 - Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
How do I ask?		Prayer is simply talking to God, not magic words. Your prayer should be your own, from your own heart. If you're not in the habit of praying, though, you may need an example. Such a prayer may go something like this:
Pray this way:		Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I was made for You, but I've been living for me. I want to begin a relationship with You now. I believe that You died in my place, to pay the penalty for my sin, and rose again for my salvation. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Now what?		You belong to God from today on if you have asked Him with all your heart.  Here's what to do next...
