This is the most important question of your life.
Jesus changes everything. I was raised in the church and loved Jesus from an early age. I wanted everyone to know He could change their lives. But there came a time in my life when I walked away, much like the prodigal son in Luke 15.
But God continued to woo me back to His loving arms, forgiving my sins and growing my faith. Walking with Christ is a journey with no regrets. Life is an adventure with Him.
If you don’t know Jesus, here is the good news.
You can have a relationship with Him starting right now. Scripture gives us the outline in Romans for becoming a child of God.
1. Recognize we are all sinners.
Romans 3:23 tells us: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
2. Sin brings death and separation from God, but a relationship with Jesus brings eternal life.
Romans 6:23 says it like this: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
3. God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins.
Romans 5:8: “But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
4. If we confess our sins and believe in Jesus Christ, He will save us.
Romans 10:9-10 confirms this: “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confessed with the mouth, resulting in salvation.”
5. If we cry out to God, He will save us.
Romans 10:13: “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Here is a quick video that explains this.
If you do not know Jesus and want to have a relationship with him, here is a simple prayer.
“God, I am a sinner. Please forgive me for living a life that does not honor you. I believe you sent your son Jesus to the earth as a man; he died on a cross for my sins and was raised from the dead to sit at your right hand. I want a different life and a relationship with you. Please be the Lord of my life. Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of God!
