I'm so glad you came to this section of our Web site!
Perhaps it was mere curiosity that brought you here or even a genuine desire to really know the God who both made and loves you.
Please consider the words I have written. I am only a delivery boy, this is God's wonderful message of the gospel you are considering. I hope these next few moments looking at these truths will change your life for time and eternity.
Realize that you are a sinner.
No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one” (Romans 3:10 NLT). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.
Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.
Repent of your sin.
The Bible tells us to “repent and be converted” (Acts 3:19 NKJV). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him by our obedience to His Word, the Bible.
Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in . . .” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV).
If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, pray this prayer and mean it in your heart and begin your faith walk right now. Faith is acting on the sure promises of God. “The just live by faith” & “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God”. Your promises are found in the bible.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and now you are a citizen in the kingdom of God, and will spend eternity in heaven. The Bible tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV).
Faith is acting on the sure promises of God. “The just live by faith” & “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God”. Your promises are found in the bible. I encourage you to begin reading in the book of Romans.
To put your faith in action, be sure to spend time with God by reading your Bible, praying, connecting with a local church that teaches the bible, and building healthy relationships with others who really love Jesus.
