Jesus loves you.  
If you come to Jesus and let Him be your Lord and savior, you can have your sins forgiven and have eternal life

Let Him give your life a hope and a future.  

Jesus told us:

"I am telling you the truth; no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again." (John 3:3) 
"I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father, except by Me." (John 14:6) 
"Whoever believes in the Son is not judged; but whoever does not believe has already been judged because he has not believed in God's only Son."  (John 3:18

Many people have false security in lies:

*  It is a lie to think that all you really need is to be a nice person.  If this were true, you wouldn't need a Savior. 

        Romans 3:23 says that "ALL of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. "

*  It is a lie to think that church attendance or religion will get you to heaven.

        John 3:7 quotes Jesus as saying "Do not be surprised because I tell you that you must all be born again."

*  It is a lie to think that doing good things will get us to heaven.

        Ephesians 2:8,9 reports to born again Christians that "It is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith.  It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it."

*  It is a lie to think that God would never allow us to go to hell.

        Romans 6:23 says, "For sin pays its wage -- death; but God's free gift is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 5:8 tells us that   "God has shown us how much He loves us -- it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!"   We need to accept His offer of forgiveness because if we refuse it, we must suffer the penalty for our own sins.

 

It is about Relationship, not Religion

Jesus is alive! This isn't about religion.  Religion cannot save us.  This is about relationship, relationship with the true and living God.  He is real!  He's not an abstract idea.  Let Him come into your heart to live.

Jesus says in Revelation 3:20, 21, "Listen!   I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his house and eat with him, and he will eat with me.  To those who win the victory I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on His throne."  He's offering you that opportunity right now to have eternal LIFE.  Let Him into your life.  Open the door to your heart.

 

Tell Him that you realize you need forgiveness.   Mean it!  Tell Him that you choose to trust Him as your own Savior who died for you.  Thank Him for forgiving you and giving you eternal life. 


If you don't feel sure of yourself, you may want to use Psalm 51 (printed here) as your prayer:

 

"Be merciful to me, O God,
because of your constant love.
Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!
Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!
I recognize my faults;
I am always conscious of my sins.
I have sinned against you -- only against you --
and done what you consider evil.
So you are right in judging me;
you are justified in condemning me.
I have been evil from the day I was born;
from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
Sincerity and truth are what you require;
fill my mind with your wisdom
Remove my sin, and I will be clean:
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness;
and though you have crushed me and broken me,
I will be happy once again.
Close your eyes to my sins
and wipe out all my evil.
Create a pure heart in me, O God,
and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
Do not banish me from your presence;
do not take your Holy Spirit away from me.
Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.
Then I will teach sinners your commands,
and they will turn back to you.
Spare my life, O God, and save me,
and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
Help me to speak, Lord
and I will praise you.
You do not want sacrifices,
or I would offer them;
My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God;
you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.
Thank you, God, for your saving grace.
Change my heart, O God,
and make me more like you.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
