Receive Jesus Christ as
Your Personal Savior
What could be more important than knowing where you will spend
eternity?
Don't wonder. You can know for sure!
1. Admit you have done wrong things and
have disobeyed God. That means we've sinned and are sinners.
One of the symptoms of sin is that instead of letting Him direct our lives -
we're in charge instead. When we control our own lives we experience emotions such as fear, worry,
anxiety, boredom, depression, dissatisfaction with life, envy and resentment. When Christ is in
charge we enjoy peace, joy, deep satisfaction, love, compassion for others and countless other
benefits.
"God be
merciful to me, a sinner" (Luke
18:13).
2. Be willing to make a U turn from doing life
your way and turn toward God and His way. This means to repent.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
3. Believe
that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved" (Romans 10:9).
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Savior and
Lord.
"But as many as received him, to them gave He power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name..." (John
1:12).
If you are ready to receive Christ as your Savior and Lord, take time right now to
talk to God in your own words. Tell Him you're sorry for the wrong things you've done.
Believe that Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose again the third day. Then ask Jesus
Christ to come into your life to be your Savior and Lord. Be willing to say "goodbye forever"
to your sins through Christ's power.
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of
God." (1 John 5:11-13)

If you have the Son of God, you've become a child of God. When Christ enters us
we become spiritual babies in His kingdom and need to grow up in Him.
God's Word, the Bible, is our spiritual food. We need to read it each day and
regularly attend a Bible-believing church. In your church home you need to follow the Lord through
the waters of baptism to show others you've received new life in Christ.
