9. God knows everything, and He can help you solve any problem. Because God sent His Son Jesus to die for us, God made it possible for us to always go to God for help if we repent of our sin and confess Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. If you want to begin a personal relationship with Him, all you need to do is;

• A_______  (Admit) that you have done wrong and ask God to forgive you for disobeying Him.
• B_______ (Believe) that God sent Jesus to take the punishment for your sin. Trust that you are forgiven because Jesus made you right with God.
• C______ (Choose) to spend your whole life depending on God’s power to help you say no to sin, and to worship God only. Rely on God to help you tell others that God is your leader and the most important person in your life.
