Walking with God

The Love of Christ

It is a joy to share with you the single most important thing in Kim’s life – her intimate relationship with God. The passion and heart that she shared for those around her was born out of a personal experience of forgiveness and grace that began a fresh walk with God in her life. In fact, knowing that her heart was right with God when she went home to be with Him brings those of us still on this earth great comfort and joy. We will see her again!

It would be our honor for you to follow her example and begin that fresh start in your own life today. Please take a moment to read how you can know Jesus Christ and his forgiveness for yourself. There is nothing more important.

Steps to a Fresh Start in Life

1. Recognize that you’re a sinner.

First, you must admit your spiritual need: “There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10). We can’t make excuses or blame others and our circumstances for our actions. “For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

2. Recognize Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.

“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God…” (1 Peter 3:18). Jesus paid the price for your sin. The Apostle Paul said, “…the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

3. Repent of your sins.

The word “repent” means “to change your direction.” The Bible tells us, “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19). God commands us to repent. You must be willing to turn away from the things that displease God.

4. Accept Jesus as your Savior.

Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). It is essential that you come to Jesus as you are. Don’t try to “clean up your life” before you come to God. Instead, receive Him and allow Him to do the “cleansing.” Jesus said, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:37).
