Receive Jesus as Your Savior and LordThere is a difference in being in the family of man and being in the family of God. The Bible says you are born into the family of man when you are born into earth. But you can only be born into the family of God by making Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life. It comes by choice. As Jesus said to Nicodemus, ‘You must be born again.’
Here is how that occurs - the Bible says that Jesus came to the earth and died for your sin. If you die without Jesus, hell is the only place you can go, because sin has to be paid for. But since Jesus paid for it on the cross, you have the privilege of allowing His payment to serve as yours; to satisfy sins claim on you. The way you do that is by, very simply, accepting what the Bible says. Here is what it says – if you are willing to believe, if you choose to believe that Jesus died on the cross and that God raised Him from the dead, and you are willing to confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Savior, that causes you to be born into the family of God; it’s just that simple. You don’t even have to confess your sins, you wouldn’t be able to remember them all anyway. It’s not a matter of confessing sins; it’s a matter of confessing Jesus as your Lord. As an act of your will, you become a part of the family of God. If you decide today that you want to make Jesus the Lord of your life; you want to accept His payment for sin as your own; you choose to be, from this day forward, a part of God’s family; and you want to know God as your Father - then simply pray this prayer and mean it from your heart……. Father, God, I'm sorry for my sins. I believe that Jesus is Your Son and that He died to forgive my sins. I receive that forgiveness. Jesus, I open the door of my life to you and I make you my Lord and my Savior. I believe that you rose from the dead. You are alive and you now live in me. I am saved, I am forgiven. Thank you for giving me eternal life. The very moment you commit your life to Jesus Christ, the truth of His Word instantly comes to pass in your spirit. Now that you’re born again, there’s a brand-new you! He also wants to give you the supernatural power you need to live this Christian life.
