Jesus came into the world to save us—to be our savior. Jesus wants you to know Him, be your advocate, your provider – your best friend.
He also has a plan for you and wants to help you as you walk through life. In fact, He said in Jeremiah 29:11 that He has amazing plans for your life, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
The problem is that we are humans and we’ve all made mistakes (Romans 3:23). Big or small, the Bible calls these mistakes “sin” and even one sin keeps us from having a relationship with God, and eventually leads to death. (Romans 6:23).
But there is good news!
Through Christ, you have hope! Jesus is waiting with open arms to save you—all you need to do is turn away from sin and towards Him (the Bible calls this repentance), and He’ll forgive you completely.
When you do this, you’re giving Jesus all your brokenness, and in exchange He gives you everything He has for you: all His righteousness (right-ness), peace and healing for your heart, a restored relationship with Him, and a fresh start in life.
God created you…He designed you in His image! And before you were even born, Jesus died for you, to save you from all your sin—past, present and future. He knew the choices you would make, and He chose to save you anyway! No matter what you’ve done or been through, He loves you deeply and wants to have a real, honest relationship with you.
Jesus was God’s perfect son (without any fault) and yet He chose to take on all of our sin and die for us. For you! Then God raised Him from the dead and He became the only way to be saved.
Knowing Jesus is simply recognizing your need for Him, believing that He died and was resurrected for you… and inviting Him to be your friend, your advocate, your savior.
God says in Romans 10:9 that if we make Jesus Lord (the leader) of our lives, and believe that He was raised from the dead, we will be saved. If you’re ready to start a new life with Jesus leading you and experience His true peace and joy in your life, pray this simple prayer out loud:
“Jesus, I know that I have made mistakes and I need You to save my life—I need You as my Savior. I have tried to do things on my own for too long, and I know it doesn’t work. So today, I give my life to You. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that You rose from the dead. Help me to live my life for You and You alone. Thank You for Your unending love, forgiveness and grace in my life. Thank You for a fresh start! Today, I start out my new life as a part of Your family. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.”
If you just prayed that prayer, we’re so excited to welcome you into God’s family!
