Discover four rules that we need to use for our dreams to come true:
•
1. The opportunity
What God is ready to do for me and every person?
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (Christ in John 10,10)
God is ready to take part in your life. He has a wonderful plan for every human – life with full value and purpose.
•
2. The problem
What is the obstacle?
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3,23)
Problem: Every single person has rebelled against God and chose the path of independent life. As a result, relationship with God was broken. That’s why a person cannot understand His plan for life.
•
3. The solution
What did Christ do to remove this obstacle?
Christ… suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. (1 Peter 3,18)
The solution: Jesus Christ is the only solution to the problem of rebellion and guilt of a man. He died in our place, taking the punishment for our sins. Through Him you can come back to the relationship with God and understand His plan for your life.
•
4. Application
What do we do?
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1,11-12)
How do I accept Christ?
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. (Christ, Revelations 3,20)

Do these words express the desire of your heart?
Christ, I need you! I admit my sinfulness. Thank you for paying for my sins by dying on the cross for me. I open you the door of my life and invite you to come in. I recognize all my life as Your property and I put it into Your hands to do whatever You can, including salvation. I trust only You and do not rely on my own merits. Change me into whom you want me to be.
