To Receive God's Gift of Eternal Life, You Must Place Your Faith in Jesus Christ and Receive Him as Savior and Lord of Your Life.

When I turned from my sins, I put my faith in JESUS CHRIST and received Him as my Savior and Lord. The way to put your faith in Jesus is to believe that He died for your sins because He loves you. Jesus will forgive your sins and give you eternal life IF you ask Him. You do this by praying. I prayed a simple prayer like the one written below and Jesus changed my life forever.

Dear God, I know that you love me. I know that I don't deserve your love or forgiveness. I know I have done wrong things against you. I am sorry. I turn from my sins. I ask your forgiveness. I place my faith in you, Jesus, and I receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for dying for me. Thank you for coming into my life as my Savior and Lord. I trust you to help me live the Christian life from this day. In Jesus Name, Amen.

There is no magic in such a prayer as this, but if you sincerely pray this prayer and mean what it says, Jesus will become your Savior and Lord. When I prayed this prayer I humbled myself and invited Jesus into my life to be in charge. I knew I needed what only Jesus can give: forgiveness, guidance, peace, and power to live right. I knew that without Jesus I could not be the kind of person God wants me to be. But, thank God, with Jesus I was a new person. This was confirmed for me when I read in the Christian Bible in the book of Romans, chapter 10, verse 9 (NKJV): "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."

So, I ask you, my new friend, will you place your trust in Jesus Christ right now, and surrender to Him as your Lord? Is this your prayer right now? Please select "yes" or "no" and key in your response on the lines below.

Yes       No
