Become a Christian
By nature, our heart runs from God and rebels against Him. The Bible calls this “sin.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Yet God loves us and wants to save us from sin, to offer us a new life of hope. John 10:10 says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” To give this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
You can receive this gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” Faith is a decision of your heart demonstrated by genuine repentance and changed actions in your life.
Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
If you are choosing right now to believe Jesus died for your sins and to receive new Life through Him, pray a prayer similar to this, accepting Him and thank Him for your new life:
Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. Thank You for forgiving me of all my sin. Thank you for my new life. From this day forward, I will choose to follow You.
