For the reference of those who wish to know Jesus Christ : -
Have your heard of the - Four Spiritual Law
Just as there are physical laws that govern
the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws
that govern your relationship with God.
Law 1
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
God's Love
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16, NIV).
God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly"
[that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).
Why is it that most people are not experiencing that abundant life?
Because...
Law 2
Man is sinful and separated from God.
Therefore, he cannot know and experience
God's love and plan for his life.
Man is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his own stubborn
self-will, he chose to go his own independent way and fellowship with God was broken.
This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference,
is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Man Is Separated
"The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).
 | This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion
-but he inevitably fails.
The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf...
|
Law 3
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.
Through Him you can know and experience
God's love and plan for your life.
He Died In Our Place
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
He Rose from the Dead
"Christ died for our sins... He was buried... He was raised on the third day,
according to the Scriptures... He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve.
After that He appeared to more than five hundred..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).
He Is the Only Way to God
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to
the Father but through Me'" (John 14:6).
 |
This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three laws...
|
Law 4
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord;
then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
We Must Receive Christ
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children
of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).
We Receive Christ Through Faith
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves,
it is the gift of God; not as result of works that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
(Read John 3:1-8.)
We Receive Christ Through Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] "Behold, I stand at the door and knock;
if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him" (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting
Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be.
Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross
for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience.
We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
These two circles represent two kinds of lives:
Self-Directed Life
S-Self is on the throne
 -Christ is outside the life
 -Interests are directed by self, often
resulting in discord and frustration | Christ-Directed Life
-Christ is in the life and on the throne
S-Self is yielding to Christ,
resulting in harmony with God's plan
-Interests are directed by Christ,
resulting in harmony with God's plan |
Which circle best represents your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?
The following explains how you can receive Christ:
You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer
(Prayer is talking with God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude
of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:
Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life.
Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. |
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this
prayer right now, and Christ will come into you life, as He promised.
Now that you have received Christ !!

====================================================
你听说过四个属灵的定律吗？
原则一：神爱你，并且为你的生命有一奇妙的计划。
神的爱
神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子（耶稣）赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不致灭亡，反得永生。（约翰福音3：16）
神的计划
耶稣说：我来了是要叫人得生命，并且得的更丰盛。（更有意义的生活）（约翰福音10：10）
为什么大多数的人都没有经验过这种丰盛的生命呢？
因为...
原则二：人因有罪而与神隔绝，所以不能知道并经验神的爱和神为他生命的计划。
人因有罪
因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀。（罗马书3：23）
神创造人原是要人享受与他同在一起的快乐，但因各人顽固任性，偏行己路，背向真神，以致与神隔绝。这种向神任性的态度，使人对神漠不关心或公开反对，就是圣经所说的罪。
与神隔绝
因为罪的工价乃是死。（灵性与神绝）（罗马书6：23）
圣洁的神与有罪的人中间，有如深渊隔绝。虽然人不断地用自己的方法，就如善行、道德、宗教、哲学等，来寻神和丰盛的生命，但是总得不着。
第三原则告诉我们这难题唯一的答案......
原则三：耶稣基督是神为人的罪所预备的唯一救法。藉着他你可以知道并经验神的爱和神为你生命的计划。
耶稣为我们死
唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了。（罗马书5：8）
耶稣从死里复活
基督照圣经所说，为我们的罪死了，而且埋葬了，又照圣经所说，第三天复活了，并且显给矶法看，然后显给十二使徒看，后来一时显给五百多弟兄看。（哥林多前书15：3－6）
耶稣基督是唯一的道路
耶稣说：我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉着我，没有人能到父（神）那里去。（约翰福音14：6）
神差他儿子耶稣基督，为我们的罪死在十字架上，成为神与人中间的桥梁，沟通了两者之间的深渊。
只知道以上三个原则还不够...
原则四：我们必须亲自接受耶稣基督作救主和生命的主，这样我们才能知道并经验神的爱和神为我们生命的计划。
我们必须接受基督
凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄，作神的儿女。（约翰福音1：12）
我们藉着信心接受基督
你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信，这并不是出于自己，乃是神所赐的，也不是出于行为，免得有人自夸。（以弗所书2：8－9）
我们必须亲自邀请基督进入心中
耶稣说：看哪，我站在门外叩门，若有听见我声音就开门的，我要进到他那里去。（启示录3：20）
接受基督包括自我转向神（悔改），相信基督进入我们的生命，赦免我们的罪，使我们成为合神心意的人。人只在理智上同意关于基督的真理，或只有一些情感的经验，都是不够的。我们必须藉着信心（意志的行动）去接爱基督。
这两个圆圈代表两种生命：
自我管理的生命
自我在生命的宝座上
基督在生命以外
人生各项活动在自我管理之下，时常产生各种的混乱和不安。
基督管理的生命
基督在生命的宝座上
自我退下宝座
人生各项活动在基督管理之下，结果就合乎神的计划。
那一个圆圈代表你现在的生命？
你愿意那一个圆圈代表你的生命？
以下说明你怎样才能接受基督：
你现在就可以藉着信心的祷告接受基督
（祷告就是和神交谈）
神知道你的心，他看重你内心的态度，过于你的言语，下面的祷告可作参考：
主耶稣啊！我需要你。感谢你为我的罪死在十字架上。我愿意打开心门接受你作我的救主和生命的主。感谢你赦免我的罪并赐给我永生，求你管理我的一生，使我成为你所喜悦的人。奉主耶稣的名祷告，阿们。
这个祷告是否合乎你的心愿？
如果是，请你现在就作同样的祷告，基督就会照着他的应许进入你的生命。
现在你已经接受了基督……
怎样知道基督已在您的生命中...
您有没有请基督进入您的生命？根据启示录3：20神的应许，现在基督是否在您心里？基督应许进入您的生命，他会失信吗？您有什么根据知道神答应了您的祷告？
（根据神的信实和他可靠的话）
圣经应许凡接受基督的人都有永生
"这见证就是神赐给我们永生，这永生也是在他儿子里面。人有了神的儿子就有生命，没有神的儿子就没有生命。我将这些话写给你们信奉神儿子名的人，要叫你们知道自己有永生。"（约翰一书5：11-13）
要常常感谢神，因为基督已进入您的生命，并且永不离开您(希伯来书13：5)。当您照着神的应许，请他进入您心中时，就能知道永活的基督已在您的生命中，并且已将永生赐给您，因为他绝不会欺骗您。
一个重要的提醒...
不要依靠感觉
我们信仰的根据，是圣经可靠的应许，不是我们容易改变的感觉。基督徒的信心生活（信靠）是根据神的信实和圣经的可靠。下面火车的图表说明事实（神和他的话），信心（我们信靠神和他的话），和感觉（我们信靠和顺服的结果）三者之间的关系。(约翰福音14：21).
车头不论有没有车厢都可以开动。但是若用车厢拉动车头是不可能的。照样，我们基督徒不应该靠感觉或情绪，而是把我们的信心（信靠）放在神的信实和他的话语的应许上。
------------------------------
现在您已经接受了基督
当您凭信心（意志的行动）接受耶稣基督的时候，您的生命已经发生了许多改变，至少包括下面几点：
- 基督已经进入您的生命(启示录3：20;歌罗西书1：27)
- 您的罪已经得赦免(歌罗西书1：14)
- 您已经成为神的儿女(约翰福音1：12)
- 您已经得着永生(约翰福音5：24)
- 您已经开始了神为您计划的新生命(约翰福音10：10;哥林多后书5：17;帖撒罗尼迦前书5：18)
您能想到人生中有甚么比接受基督更奇妙呢？您现在愿意祷告，感谢神为您所做的事吗？感谢的祷告就是信心的表示。
若要更好地享受您的新生命...
------------------------------
属灵生命长进的建议
属灵生命的长进是从信靠耶稣基督而来。"义人必因信得生"（加拉太书3：11）。信心的生活会使您在凡事上更依靠神，并实行下面各项：
- 每天向神祷告(约翰福音15：7)
- 每天研读圣经(使徒行传17：11)－从约翰福音开始
- 时刻顺服神(约翰福音14：21)
- 每天藉着你的生活言行为基督作见证(马太福音4：19;约翰福音15：8)
- 在你一切所行的事上，都依靠神(彼得前书5：7)
- 让圣灵管理你每天的生活，并赐你能力为主作见证(加拉太书5：16，17;使徒行传1：8)
------------------------------
在好的教会里的团契
神的话语指示我们"不可停止聚会...."(希伯来书10：25)。几根木材一起燃烧就光热倍增，若将一根抽出，放在一旁，热火就会熄灭。您和其他基督徒的关系也是一样。
如果你尚未加入教会，不必等人邀请，请主动地到附近去参加尊崇耶稣基督并传扬圣经真理的教会。从这个星期开始，并请计划经常按时去参加教会的聚会。
