God knows who you are, He loves you, and He wants you to know and love Him.
How do you do that?
First, admit that you, like all of us, are a sinner. Being sinners means we have wronged God and fall short of His perfect standard. It also means we are separated from Him and deserve His judgment.
But He loves us! God sent His own son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He died for your sins. He was punished so you don’t have to be. Not only that, death did not defeat Him. After three days Jesus rose from the dead, alive again!
Trusting in Jesus’ sacrifice for you is the only way to find forgiveness from God and to begin a relationship with Him. I urge you to take this step of faith today. To do that simply talk to God – this is called praying – and tell Him you believe in His Son. We suggest a prayer like the one below. The prayer below is just a model prayer. It doesn't have to be exactly like the prayer below. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it must come from your heart:
“Dear Lord Jesus,
I’m a sinner. I’m sorry for my sins. I want to turn from my sins, and I repent of them. I believe that You are The Son of God. I believe that You died on the cross for me. That You rose from the grave. That You are alive. I want to invite You to come into my heart and my life to take control. From this day forward forevermore. And I pray this, Jesus- in Your Name.
Amen”
