How to Receive Christ
- Admit your need (I am a sinner)
- Be willing to turn from your sins (repent)
- Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and
rose from the grave.
- Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control
your life through the Holy Spirit (receive Him as Lord and
Savior of your life).
What to Pray
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe
that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I
now invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust
and follow You as the Lord and Savior of my life.
God's Assurance of Eternal Life
If you've prayed this prayer and trusting Christ, then the
Bible says that you can be sure you have eternal life:
. . . for, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved
(Romans 10:13)
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith,
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not
by works, so that no one can boast.
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son
of God does not have life. I write these things to you who
believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know
that you have eternal life.
(1 John 5:12-13
Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the
supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer
. . . this is called regeneration or the new birth.
What Next?
This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ.
To deepen this relationship you should:
- Maintain regular intake of the Bible to know Christ better.
- Talk to God in prayer every day.
- Tell others about your new faith in Christ.
- Worship, fellowship and serve with other Christians in
a church where Christ is preached.
- As Christ's representative in a needy world, demonstrate
your new life by your love and concern for others.
