For everyone who believes in the death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST

Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the first step in enjoying this life, as Jesus himself said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). When we accept Jesus into our lives, we open ourselves to the abundant and eternal life He offers us (John 3:16). We can experience more joy, peace and purpose in our lives by accepting Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior and living in a relationship with Him. The Bible is full of promises from God that we can enjoy if we accept Jesus as our Savior and live according to His Word. For example, Jesus said, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). When we accept Jesus into our lives, we also receive power from the Holy Spirit to help us live the way God intended (Acts 1:8). We have the assurance that Jesus will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5 – “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.” We can trust that He will be with us always, guiding us and helping us to live a life of joy and purpose.

The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ died for our sins, so that we could have eternal life:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Matthew 28:6:  “He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

Jesus laid down His life so that we could have the chance to be reconciled with our Creator and receive the forgiveness of our sins. By His death and resurrection, Jesus conquered death and opened the way to life everlasting.

Romans 6:9 - “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.”

NOW THAT WE ARE AWARE OF WHAT IT TAKES TO EXPERIENCE THIS KIND OF LOVE, WHY NOT TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST AND BE BORN AGAIN ALLOWING HIM TO TAKE YOU THROUGH LIFE WITH HIS UNENDING LOVE?

SAY THIS PRAYER AFTER ME

Jesus, I firmly believe that you are the Son of God and that you sacrificed your life on the cross in order to save me from sin, death, and separation from the Father. I make the decision right now to repent of my crimes, my egotism, and everything else in my life that displeases you. I pick you, Jesus. Jesus, I entrust myself to you. I ask you to come into my life as my Savior and Lord, and I accept your pardon. I pray in Jesus' name for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who will guide me to all truth. I now ask for the Holy Spirit to fill me. Come, Jesus, and fill up my heart. Fill me with your life and love, and guide me toward being the kind of person you, Jesus, who is truly loving. Lord, restore me. Live inside of me. Love flowing from me. My status as a slave has been changed to that of a child of God, I announce and decree. I was not left out; I was chosen. God has not given me a spirit of fear but one that is full of power, love, and clear judgment. Thank you. I offer my prayer in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
