The main body of this page is quoted from
the second part of the fourth law in
The Four Spiritual Laws.

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance)
and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins
and to make us what He wants us to be.

Just to agree intellectually
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God
and that He died on the cross for our sins
is not enough.
Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience.
We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

These two circles represent two kinds of lives:

Self-Directed Life 
S-Self is on the throne 
wpe463.jpg (790 bytes)-Christ is outside the life 
wpe464.jpg (719 bytes)-Interests are directed by self, often 
    resulting in discord and frustration		 Christ-Directed Life 
wpe463.jpg (790 bytes)-Christ is in the life and on the throne 
S-Self is yielding to Christ, 
    resulting in harmony with God's plan

    resulting in harmony with God's plan
