HERE IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

God Loves You--John 3:16; 10:10

Everyone is a sinner in need of God’s forgiveness--Romans 3:23; 6:23; Hebrews 9:27

God WANTS to forgive you--Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 3:18

You must turn away from your sins--Luke 13:5; Ephesians 2:8-9

You must place your trust in God’s Son, Jesus Christ--Acts 20:21; John 14;6

You can receive Jesus Christ--Revelation 3:20

Through prayer, you can receive forgiveness and begin your relationship with Jesus Christ right now

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO DO THIS?

Admit to God that you are a sinner and that you are turning from your sins. Believe in Jesus and thank Him for dying on the cross and rising from the dead to give you eternal life. Commit your life to Christ by asking Him to come into your life as your Savior and Lord. Start by praying this prayer:

Oh Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and that my sin has kept me from knowing you. I believe You died for my sin. I know that by believing in your death and resurrection I can have forgiveness and eternal life. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to become my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.
