How
to Receive Jesus
(practical step-by-step help)
Sin, the main culprit: Man cannot fellowship with his creator
because of sin, which separates man from God. All humans has sinned knowingly
or unknowingly, no one is guiltless.
God's remedy: There is only one remedy God has provided
for man to restore relationship together, the man Jesus Christ. God has chosen
Jesus to be the only One acceptable mediator between man and God.
Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for the sins
of the World: Jesus
Christ, although not deserving death, because there was no sin in Him, was
willing to obey God the Father and be put to death as the substitute for all
humanity, that whoever believe in Him will be saved from sin and eternal
judgment.
How to receive Jesus? Now, we come to the practical steps.
(1) Confess with your mouth the fact
mentioned in the Holy Bible about who Jesus is and His saving grace to you
personally.
(2) Acknowledge to God your sinfulness
and your need for salvation from sin and eternal judgment. Asking Him … The
Bible says, if you do step (1) & (2) you will be saved from sin and eternal
judgment.
The following is a simple prayer helping
you cover up the abovementioned points. Say it from your heart and audibly with
your mouth to God, this will result in your salvation.
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus
Christ died for my sins and rose from the dead the third day. Today He is alive
in heaven in Your presence. I come to You in His name and I acknowledge
that I have sinned against You knowingly and unknowingly too. Forgive me all my
sins and accept me as Your son
After saying this prayer sincerely to
God, the Bible says you are now a born-again child of God, born from God
through the Holy Spirit. To grow in the faith you need to regularly pray,
fellowship with like minded Christians who are Bible believing and also
read daily the Bible (God's word)...a suggestion, start reading the New
Testament from the Book of John.
God bless you...I would be delighted to hear from you.
