Why am I here? Who am I? What
will happen when I die? These questions have
intrigued people throughout the ages. And
the answers can be discovered by
understanding God’s plan of salvation.
You have probably heard the story of God's love referred to as the "Gospel" or "Good News." What is the Good News? Simply this: Because of what Jesus has done, your sins can be forgiven and you can live forever -
What did Jesus do? Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, came into the world as a human being,
lived a sinless life, died on the cross and
rose from the dead.
Because Christ died to pay for our sins, your sins can be forgiven. And because He conquered death, you can have eternal life—you can know for sure what will happen to you after you die.
But this gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be yours unless you willingly ask for it. God requires an individual response from you.
In
Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, "Here I am!
I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will
come in and eat with him, and he with me."
What does this mean? Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with you. He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart and life. All you have to do is invite Him in.
But your first step is to ask for forgiveness:
Repent...that your sins may be wiped out and times of refreshing may come from the Lord. —Acts 3:19
Your final step in becoming a Christian is to receive this free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. The Bible teaches:
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. —John 1:12
When you receive Christ into your heart, you become a child of God. You have the privilege of talking to Him in prayer. At any time. About anything.
The Christian life is a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a relationship that will last for all eternity. Joyfully receive it!

Once you’ve asked for
forgiveness, your next step is to believe
and trust in the gift God is giving you.
Understand, this gift of forgiveness and
eternal life is free. It’s something you
can’t earn.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—and this not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—not by works, so that
no one can boast. —Ephesians 2:8,9
The word grace means "undeserved favour." It
means God is offering you something you
could never provide for yourself. You don’t
have to work for this gift. All you have to
do is believe with all your heart that Jesus
Christ died for you. Do you believe?
The Bible promises that when
you sincerely ask God for forgiveness and
trust in Jesus, you will experience new life
in Christ.
That if you confess 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
Today, with all your heart, surrender
your life to Jesus Christ. Confess your
sins. Ask God to forgive you. Say that
you'll trust in Jesus. And thank Him for the
gift of everlasting life. Pray now:
"Father, I know that I have sinned against
You. Please forgive me. Wash me clean. I
promise to trust in Jesus, Your Son. I
believe that He died for me—He took my sin
upon Himself when He died on the cross. I
believe that He was raised from the dead. I
surrender my life to Jesus today.
"Thank You, Father, for Your gift of
forgiveness and eternal life. Please help me
to live for you. In Jesus' name, Amen."
There is nothing magical about the words you
use. It is the attitude of your heart that
God cares about.
