Step 1: Understanding God loves you!

God loves you and wants you to experience peace and eternal life—abundant and eternal.

The Bible says:

Romans 5:1 NIV – Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 3:16 NIV – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 10:10 NIV – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Step 2: Acknowledge that we all have Sin. God can redeem our sin.

The Bible says:

Romans 3:23 NIV – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

1 Peter 3:18 NIV – For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.

Romans 5:8 NIV – But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Step 3: Here is how you can receive Christ:

• Admit your need. (I am a sinner.)
• Be willing to turn from your sins (repent) and ask for God’s forgiveness.
• 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 Jesus as Lord and Savior)

We suggest a prayer like this one:

“Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Step 4: God wants us to profess our faith by sharing with others that Jesus is Lord.

The Bible says:

Romans 10:9 NIV – If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Step 5: God wants a relationship with you.

The Bible says:

1 John 3:1 NIV – See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
