The Gift of Salvation

The Bible says that we have ALL sinned and come short of the glory, and are destined for an eternity in Hell.  Yet God so loved the world that he have his only son Jesus to die on the cross from our sins so that we could have eternal life in Heaven through faith in Him.  If you repent of your sins and ask Jesus to be your Lord and savior, believing that He died for your sins and was risen from the dead for you, you shall be saved.

God, great Father in Heaven, I know that I have sinned and am a sinner. I sincerely acknowledge my sins and repent of them, and ask for your forgiveness. I know and believe that Jesus was crucified and buried for my sins, and on the third day he arose from the grave, conquering death for my sake despite my unworthiness. Jesus, please enter my heart and save my soul. Teach me to be like you, and to follow God's will for my life. I accept you into my heart humbly and faithfully, and through you am made new. Through you alone, I am saved, in the holy name of Christ Jesus I pray.  Amen.

Now What?
After truly accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you are a new creature in spirit.  With this great change comes great responsibility. What has always been missing from your life is now within you, and all things are possible through Christ.

Of course, now that you have become saved, the enemy (Satan) will come harder against you, and you must be ready. Stay in the Word reading it daily, pray as often as you can, give God the praise for all in your life, and fellowship with other believers. As long as you remain close to God, you will realize that the devil has no power over you.  Remember though, the journey is not easy, but it is well worth it in the end. Congratulations on making the best decision you could ever make in your life.
