Invite Jesus In
If you have never received the Lord Jesus as your Savior and invited Him in to your heart and your life and you would like to know more about what the Bible says concerning God's plan for salvation, please study these verses: YOUR NEED FOR JESUS - Because we all have sinned - Romans 3:23 "Everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence." Because there is punishment for sin - Romans 6:23 "For sin pays its wage -- death; but God's free gift is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord." THE WAY THAT GOD PROVIDED - God loves you so much He made a way for your sins to be forgiven - Romans 5:8 "But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."1 Corinthians 15:3 "I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS, as written in the scriptures." John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life." John 1:12 "Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children." Acts 16:31 "They answered, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved -- you and your family.'"  ARE YOU READY TO RECEIVE HIM? Do you believe in Jesus and that he died for your sins? If you would like to receive the Lord Jesus as your Savior, pray to him and tell him now. Prayer is just talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so much concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. So, the prayer does not have to have fancy religious-sounding words. It can be in your own words and as simple as: "Lord, I believe in You. I believe you died for my sins. I am a sinner. I confess all my sins. Please forgive me. Come into my heart now and be Lord of my life. In Your Name I pray. Amen." HERE'S SOME ASSURANCE - How do you know you're saved? We have these promises in God's Word: 1 John 1:9 "But if we confess our sins to God, he will keep his promise and do what is right: he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing." Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved." Romans 10:9-10 "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
