How Can I Accept Christ?
If you don't know for sure that you will go to heaven - it is as easy as A, B, C!
A - Admit you are a sinner. The Bible (God's Word) says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) All means every one of you. God said that sin must be punished. The punishment for sin is death - to be separated from God forever (Romans 6:34). There is nothing that you can do to earn your way to heaven. You can never be good enough to please God and you will always fall short of God's glory. Because God loves you so much, He made a way for you to be forgiven.
B - Believe in Him. If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, he will forgive you of all your sin and He will be with you always and give you power to obey God. Acts 2:21 tells that "everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved." All you need to do is believe on Him.
C- Confess that you are a sinner. God loves you so much that He sent His own son, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:16) to die for your sin in your place. The Bible says that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Hebrews 9:22). The Lord came to earth to take your punishment for sin. "Christ died for our sins and was buried." (1 Corinthians 15:4). He wants to be your Savior. Jesus is the only way to heaven and John tells us that, "He is the way, truth, and life there is no other way to the Father except through Him".
If you have not already received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you can do it right now. All you need to do is surrender to Him. Here is a prayer of repentance.
Dear Jesus,
Please forgive me of all my sins. I trust You as my Savior. Come into my
life right now. I am giving You complete control. Help me to learn how to
let You live through me. Thank you, Amen.
If you have just prayed that prayer then you need to let someone know about it. This is such an exciting time in your life. Please e-mail us and we are willing to help you start the greatest adventure of your life - growing in you relationship with Christ. The Bible tells us to "grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18) A great way to grow is attending Bible studies as well as studying the Bible on your own.
