GRACE OF GOD
THE FOLLOW IS THE STEPS ON HOW GOD TO HELP YOU
Step 1: Be awake to God’s Word to yo
Truth: God’s Word has the answers
Read: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Challenge: Knowing Jesus means knowing what He says. The Bible has everything you need to know about life and godliness. Take some time during the day to read your Bible. The book of John is a good place to start. Start slow, read a few verses and think them over. Look for what God has to say to you, promises he makes, or things He says about himself.
Step 2: Be aware of God’s Character
Truth: No matter what, God is good!
Read: “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” (Psalm 34:8).
Challenge: If God is truly good and love, then take time to acknowledge that. Write out what’s going on in your life and always remember that God is good and He might be trying to teach you something.
Step 3: Never forget God’s gift to you
Truth: Jesus died for you
Read: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Challenge: In spite of what you do or have done Jesus still died for you. It’s easy to forget this wonderful truth and gift. Salvation comes by faith in this fact: that Jesus died and rose for you. Take time to be thankful and remember what your free gift cost Jesus.
Step 4: Acknowledge Your God
Truth: Take time to talk to God
Read: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
Challenge: Our trust and our contentment and everything we need comes from talking to God. Prayer is taking our minds off our problems and giving them to God. Set an appointment three times a day to stop and be quiet and talk to God. Share everything on your heart with Him! (See HOW TO PRAY on back cover.)
Step 5: Be accountable to God’s standards
Truth: Give all of me to love God
Read: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship” (Romans 12:1).
Challenge: Each day you need to decide who your are going to follow. Yourself (the flesh) or God (the Spirit). God gives His standards in His word. Follow them. Start each day by thanking God for your life, seeking His direction, and committing to follow Him.
Step 6: Act as a servant of God
Truth: Show love to God’s world
Read: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
Challenge: Following Jesus means caring and loving what He cares for and loves. Jesus loves people, that’s why He died for them. Love people. Look for ways you can love and take care of people. Tell them what God is doing for you
