STEP ONE: Realize God has a purpose for you.
God’s purpose is that you are at peace with Him and that you have eternal life with Him. The Bible says:
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ — Romans 5:1 (NIV).
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved –John 3:16-17 (NKJV).
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord –Romans 6:23 (NIV).
