You can make the decision to place your faith in God right now. Ask him to come into your life and in-turn give you the forgiveness and the hope you need, right where you are now. Come to God with a sincere heart and pray:
"Lord, I am a sinner and for that I repent. I come to you confessing my belief in your Son, Jesus. I ask you, Jesus, to come into my life as my Savior. I accept the sacrifice of your life as atonement for my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Grant me hope that will not fail, a hope that comes from you. I ask you to cleanse my heart and make me a new creation, in the name of Jesus. Amen."
If you prayed this prayer with sincerity, you are now a child of God! The Bible says that all heaven celebrates on your behalf!
Now that you have made the decision to follow Jesus Christ, you will need to do a few things to get you started in knowing Him more!
Find a Christian church where you can learn about the Lord and grow in faith with the assistance of your fellow Christian brothers and sisters.
Find a copy of the Bible, God's Holy and precious Word to us. Read it and know God. So that you may know who Jesus is, I suggest that you start your reading in the New Testament, and then complete your reading in the Old Testament.
Lastly, if you would be so kind, please drop me an E-mail note to let me know that you have made a decision to follow Jesus. It would encourage me so much!
May all the praise and glory be to the Lord!
