Become a Follower of Jesus
1. Admit that you are a sinner and turn away from your sin. (Romans 3:23)
2. Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from your sins and give you eternal life. (John 3:16)
3. Confess your faith in Jesus. Share your decision with another person. (Romans 10:9-10)
You can pray this simple prayer if this is the desire of our your heart:
“Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. Amen.”
The moment that you received Christ by faith, as an act of your will, many things happened:
- Christ came into your life. (Revelation 3:20, Colossians 1:27)
- Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14)
- You became a child of God (John 1:12)
- You received eternal life (John 5:24)
- You began the great adventure for which God created you (John 10:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
