Your New Life Begins Now
Admit it.
We all are born in sin and are in need of a Savior. Since we could never be good enough to pay for our own sins, Jesus came and took our punishment by giving His life on the cross.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Believe it.
We must believe in our heart that God sent Jesus, His only Son to die in our place, and that He was the Son of God.
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“But to all who did receive him (Jesus), who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12
Confess it.
We must be willing to confess to God that we have sinned and that we now accept Jesus as the Son of God. Simply pray to God and tell Him with your own mouth that you acknowledge you are a sinner. Ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you with the blood of Jesus. Then confess out loud to God and to man that you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He died for you and was resurrected 3 days later.
“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
“..that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
Live it.
Now choose every day to live a life that honors His love and sacrifice for you. Tell others about the salvation Jesus offers. Ask the Holy Spirit daily to help you do what you cannot do in your own strength.
“Do not present your members to sin ... but present yourselves to God.” Romans 6:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6
If You Need Help, Pray This.
Dear God,
I know that I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
