If you would like to begin a
relationship with Jesus Christ, right now, where you are, you need only ask Him.
The most important
decision imaginable...
If you've
come this far, you probably realize you're about to make
the most important decision of your life...
Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest." His Word, the
Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you
will be saved." He also said, "whoever comes to
me I will never drive away." So if you ask Him, you
will be accepted.
How do I
ask?
The way
believers talk to the Lord is through prayer. Your
prayer should be your own, from your own heart to His.
If you're not in the habit of praying, though, you may
need an example. Such a prayer may go something like
this:
|
Father in Heaven,
I know that I
am a sinner and need forgiveness.
I believe
that Your Son Jesus died in my place,
to pay
the penalty for my sin,
and rose again for my
salvation.
I want to turn from my sin and be
forgiven,
so I now ask you, Lord Jesus,
to
come into my life as my Savior and my Lord.
In
Jesus name I pray,
Amen. |
The Bible says,
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved."
So if you
have repented (turned away) from your sins with all your
heart, asked Him into your life, and believe He died to
save you, you are a Christian, bound for Heaven.
The difficulties of living as a Christian in a sinful
world are many. Therefore it is essential that you seek
other sincere, Bible-believing Christians to help you
sustain your resolve. Both individual Christian friends
and a solidly Bible-based Christian church are
essential.
When asked what one must do to be saved, the Apostle
Peter replied,
