I describe what my quiet time looks like, in general, and also specifically for today. Maybe it will give you a bit of inspiration as you seek the Lord with all your heart.
THE ABC'S OF SALVATION
A = Admit you are a sinner and you can’t be perfect and holy enough in God’s eyes to be right with Him on your own. Turn away from your sin (anything that God says falls short of His holy, perfect standard in your thoughts, attitudes, motives, words, and actions).
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Rom. 3:23
B = Believe that Jesus (God in the flesh) died on your behalf to pay the price for your sin and to give you a way to be right with God - to be forgiven. He lived the perfect life you couldn’t live. He died the death you deserve and rose from the dead in victory over sin, death, and the grave on your behalf!
“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord.” Rom. 6:23
C = Confess that Jesus is your Lord - this means, Jesus is now your Master and you live your life for Him and His glory rather than for yourself. You say it out loud to others and you live it from now on. You lay down your will and your desires and follow Him, inviting Him to direct and use your life for His will.
“If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.” Rom. 10:9-10
We are not good enough to earn heaven or salvation. None of us are. But Jesus is! He did the work for us that we couldn't do. He lived the perfect life we couldn't live. He died the death we deserved. And He offers to exchange His right relationship with God and His holiness with our sinfulness and failure. Then He promises to give us the power we need to live godly lives that honor the Lord as we yield to His control and Lordship.
