How to Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior!

Do you yearn to experience the Lord’s comforting presence, power, and wisdom? I'm happy your here, this is a Devine appointment, because God loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you now and forever! Don't wait until it's to late - we never know if tomorrow will be here. Please take the time to read the below to Accept Jesus - Believe in his Gospel, and Confess your sins. It's that easy...your new born again life begins now. Welcome to His kingdom brother or sister!


Here's the problem is . . .

. . . one thing separates you from a relationship with God—sin. You and I sin whenever we fail to live by the Lord’s holy standard and commandments. In fact, Romans 3:23: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Furthermore, Romans 6:23 explains that the penalty for sin is death—separation from God in hell forever. No matter how hard we try, we cannot save ourselves or get rid of our sins. We can’t earn our way to heaven by being good, going to church, or being baptized (Eph. 2:8-9).


Understanding how helpless we are because of our sins, God sent His only Son, Jesus, to save us.

Jesus Christ lived a perfect, sinless life, and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Rom. 5:8). Three days later, He rose from the dead—showing that He had triumphed over sin and death once and for all!


So how can you know God?

It all starts with accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ provides a relationship with the Father and eternal life through His death on the cross and resurrection (Rom. 5:10).

Romans 10:9 promises, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” If you have not yet begun your personal relationship with God, understand that the One who created you loves you no matter who you are or what you’ve done. He wants you to experience the profound depth of His care.


Therefore, tell God that you are willing to trust Him for salvation. You can tell Him in your own words or use this simple prayer:


Lord Jesus, I ask You to forgive my sins and save me from eternal separation from God. By faith, I accept Your work and death on the cross as complete payment for my sins. Thank You Jesus for providing the way for me to know You and to have a relationship with my heavenly Father. I surrender to your will and believe full heartedly that you lived a prefect life, died for my sins, and was raised from the dead as an atonement for my sins. Through faith in You, I have eternal life. Thank You Lord Jesus, for hearing my prayers and loving me unconditionally. Please give me the strength, wisdom, and determination to walk in the center of Your will. In Jesus’ name, amen.


If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations my brother or sister!

You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!

John 3:16 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. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
