Trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today!
Here's what you must do.
1 Admit that you are a sinner and that you need God's help.
- "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
- "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12)
- "If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)
2 Be willing to change your mind and turn from your sin (repent).
- Jesus said: "I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:5)
3 Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.
- "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
- "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
- "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;" (Romans 10:9)
4 Through prayer, invite Jesus into your heart to become your personal Lord and Savior.
- "for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." (Romans 10:10)
- for “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)
5 Pray:
- Dear God, I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to change and turn from my sin. I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.
- " But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name," (John 1:12)
- "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." [new life begins]. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Okay, now what?
A Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.
Read the Holy Bible, the guide and tool to kindness and the right path to eternal life. If you encounter questions, resolve them by asking someone at your church to help you with them.
- "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)
- "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:105)
B Talk to God in prayer every day.
- "And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it all." (Matthew 21:22)
- "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6)
- "However, they did not all heed the good news; for [the prophet] Isaiah says, 'LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?' 17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)
C Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority on everything.
- "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," (Matthew 28:19)
- "Not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:25)
- "All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;" (2 Timothy 3:16)
D Tell others about Christ.
- "And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." (Mark 16:15)
- "For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for I am under compulsion; for woe to me if I do not preach the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:16)
- "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
