Invite Jesus into your Heart Today!

 

Jesus Christ died for you and me, and loves us beyond our wildest imaginations. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit are one in three persons. Each is a unique individual but they are all God (John 10:30, John 14:9). God the Father is the creator of the Universe. God the Son came down to earth to die for our sins. God the Holy Spirit is the Counselor and Comforter (John 14: 16-17) that dwells in us when we receive Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.

 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6).

 

Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:10-12).

 

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 (John 3:16).

 

If you want Jesus Christ to reside in your heart forever and always and to spend eternity with Him when you die say the following prayer:

 

Lord Jesus, I come to you now to present myself. Today, I have come to truly believe that you are on your throne in Heaven and that you love me. I confess to you now that I am a sinner and I am not worth being considered to be associated with you. But you are truly a merciful God, who loves all. I therefore ask you humbly to forgive me all my sins and remember them no more from today. Please have mercy on me and forgive me. Cleanse me with your precious blood and make me a new person today. Thank you for doing this for me. I desire to follow you from today, serve you and obey your commandments as written in the scriptures. So help me Lord. From today, I make you my Savior, Master, and the Lord of my life. Thank you Lord Jesus, for giving me a new life. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

 

Welcome to a New Life in Christ!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new(2 Corinthians 5:17).

 

• Find a church to grow in and to be physically and spiritually supported. 

 

• Read your Bible. Start from the Gospel of John to understand the ministry of Jesus Christ and His love for humanity. The Gospel of John is a more intimate and profound look at Jesus’ministry on earth compared to other Gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, and Luke). Perhaps it is because it was written by the disciple closest to Jesus, Apostle John.

 

• Christianity is to be Christ-like. It’s not an overnight journey as Jesus Christ begins to prune away things you have always done before that will not bring glory to His name. He is your role model. Other Christians are not because only Jesus Christ achieved perfection in the flesh. Read your Bible to understand how to be a Christian.

 

• Pray to Him for guidance and help, and to build a relationship. A prayer is a conversation between you and Him. He left an example for you in the Bible if you don't know how to start: 

 

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen (Matthew 6:9-13).
