1. God’s Original Plan for Humanity
In the beginning, God created man in His own image, and breathed into him the breath of life, and man became a living soul (Genesis 1:26–27, Genesis 2:7).
He gave man life, dominion, and authority to rule over all creation:
“Then God said, Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion…” (Genesis 1:26, NKJV)
Humanity was created to live in harmony and authority, ruling over what God made.
2. The Fall of Man
But the devil deceived Adam and Eve, and through disobedience, sin entered the world. As a result, they (and for that matter, mankind) lost their place of life, dominion, authority, and rulership (Genesis 3).
The Bible says:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23, NKJV)
3. God’s Redemption Plan
Yet, God didn’t leave us without hope. From the beginning, He had already made provision to restore mankind.
The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ—God’s Lamb—was slain from the foundation of the world:
“The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8, NKJV)
At the right time, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to save mankind and restore what was lost:
“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son…” (Galatians 4:4, NKJV)
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10, NKJV)
Through His sacrifice, Jesus restored life, dominion, authority, and rulership to all who believe in Him.
4. What Must You Do?
Your part is to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
You do this because:
- All have sinned (Romans 3:23)
- But God loves you:
“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.” (John 3:16, NKJV)
- All who receive Him become children of God:
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God…” (John 1:12, NKJV)
- Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved:
“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13, NKJV)
5. Prayer of Salvation
If you want to receive Jesus and be restored to eternal life, authority, and dominion, say this prayer from your heart:
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today and I ask for forgiveness. Forgive me all the sins I have committed in life.
Wash me with Your precious blood and come into my life.
I receive You now as my Personal Lord and Savior.
Write my name in Your Book of Life.
In Your precious name, Jesus Christ, I pray with thanksgiving.
Amen, and Amen.
Congratulations if you prayed this prayer. You are now a child of God – restored to eternal life through Jesus Christ. Embrace your new identity in Him and walk in the dominion, authority, and rulership He has restored to you.
Glory to God
