Know Jesus
New Life in Christ
God loves you and has a plan for your life. Here is what the Bible says about how to know Him, and how to let us know if you have made a decision today.
- 1
All of us have sinned
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23 (KJV)No one is good enough on their own. Every one of us has fallen short of what God intended.
- 2
Sin separates us from God
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23 (KJV)The result of sin is death and separation from God. But God offers a gift we could never earn.
- 3
God sent Jesus because He loves you
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 (KJV)Jesus died on the cross in our place and rose again on the third day. He did this while we were still sinners.
- 4
Believe and confess
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV)Salvation is received by faith. Turn from sin, believe that Jesus died and rose again, and call on Him as Lord.
A Prayer
Talk to God
If you are ready, you can pray something like this. The words themselves do not save you; faith in Jesus does.
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need You. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and ask You to forgive me. Come into my life as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for loving me and giving me new life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
