Getting right with God
Now there is something you need to know, which is getting right with God.

Before this can be done, you have to know that is wrong first. And knowing what is wrong, is not a big task. It’s what we all know, which is sin.
Psalms 14:3
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
There’s no one today who hasn’t done wrong, or someone who does not do wrong. We have rebelled against the commandments of God, his trust for us, we have betrayed and we cannot pretend.
Jesus made us to understand that his purpose of coming to die, is to save the lost souls and which was accomplished when he died on the cross by saying it is finished. Now the bad news here is that the wages of sin is death as we all know, and evey soul that sinneth shall die. But there’s also a good news, which is God has pursued us in order to bring us salvation.
Luke 29:10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
The acknowledgment of your sin
The first thing you need to know, is to build a firm relationship with God, that’s where the acknowledgment of your sin begins. And secondly, approach God with a humble and a heart of repentance, with all confessions being made to him. For we believe from the heart and with the mouth confession is made. For more revelations, you can study Romans 10
Romans 10:10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Thirdly, what we need most after those two things is faith. The confession we make must be attached or accompanied with faith. The faith that Jesus Christ sacrificially gave his life on the cross and resurate again to become our Saviour. You have to believe in your heart, and also confess that Jesus Christ is lord. Then you’re eligible to be save.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
In concluding this topic, there’s a simple prayer you have to learn and get use to. This prayer will always help you to get back even when you’re falling apart from God’s provided way. This prayer is simple prayer for you to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation.
'God, I know that I have sinned against You and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness – the gift of eternal life! Amen!'

Incredible write-up I really enjoyed this part "Before this can be done, you have to know that is wrong first. And knowing what is wrong, is not a big task. It’s what we all know, which is sin"
Thanks for this educative writeup. I agree with you. We need to know what is right and what is wrong, so we can take a firm stand.
SIN is wrong with God,.....
Righteousness is right!
