The most important decision you will ever make
No matter where you've been, what you've done, or how far you feel from God — He loves you with an everlasting love. His arms are open wide, ready to receive you just as you are.
The Bible tells us that "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
Jesus Christ came to earth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for your sins, and rose again on the third day. Through His sacrifice, the way to God has been opened for every person — including you.
Salvation is a free gift — you cannot earn it, buy it, or deserve it. It is received by faith. The Bible says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
If you are ready to give your life to Jesus Christ, you can do so right now. It's as simple as believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth. The prayer below will guide you.
"Heavenly Father, I come to You today acknowledging that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead.
I repent of my sins and turn away from my old life. I invite Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.
Thank You, Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life. I am now a new creation in Christ. Help me to live for You all the days of my life.
In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you prayed that prayer sincerely, welcome to the family of God! Here are some important next steps in your new walk with Jesus.
