25. NOW I BELONG TO JESUS

  1. Jesus, my Lord, will love me for ever,

    From Him no pow’r of evil can sever,

    He gave His life to ransom my soul,

    Now I belong to Him:

    Chorus:

    Now I belong to Jesus,

    Jesus belongs to me,

    Not for the years of time alone,

    But for eternity

  2. Once I was lost in sin’s degradation,

    Jesus came down to bring me salvation,

    Lifted me up from sorrow and shame,

    Now I belong to Him:

  3.  Joy floods my soul, for Jesus has saved me,

    Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me,

    His precious blood He gave to redeem,

    Now I belong to Him:

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
