For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
- God loves you so much: God loves you and wants you to follow Him with your whole life. This is called becoming a Christian—and it is the most important decision you will ever make.
You become a Christian when you:
-
ADMIT that you are separated from God.
God loves us, but we are separated from God and His love because of our sin. Sin is when we do wrong things or make bad choices; choices that are
different than what God would want us to do.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard – Romans 3:23 -
BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again to be your Savior
God sent His only Son Jesus to save us. Jesus was born more than 2,000 years ago and lived a sinless life. Jesus died on a cross to take the punishment for our sin, and came back to life three days later. This act of love bridged the gap between you and God!
God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners – Romans 5:8
The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord – Romans 6:23 -
CONFESS your sin and commit your life to God
Jesus is the way to eternal life with God. Asking God for forgiveness and accepting Jesus as your Savior will begin your relationship with God here on earth, as well.
If we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness – 1 John 1:9
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved – Romans 10:9
For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children – Romans 8:16 -
JESUS made it possible for you to experience God’s love!
Would you like to get reconnected to God and ask Jesus to become your friend right now?
PRAY THIS PRAYER:
Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner and that I want to have a relationship with You.
Please forgive me for all of the wrong things I have done.
I believe in my heart that Jesus died and rose again to take away my sin, and I declare Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may be faithful to You.
Thank you for saving me and for letting me become Your child.
Please speak to me and help me to hear Your voice and to follow Your ways.
I look forward to spending time with You, both here on earth and in heaven.
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
