Are you ready to make a decision for Christ?
Is God pressing upon your heart today? Is belief
present where it once was not?
Are you ready to make a decision for Christ? No matter what you have done in the past whether it be drugs, alcohol, lust, hatred, etc., the
blood of Jesus Christ will cover ALL your sins and make you a brand new person in Jesus Christ. All you have
to do is truly believe in Him. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was for all mankind. It is a free gift from God. You must accept that gift though. It is not enough to believe that a parachute will save you from
a fall. You must actually put it ON! You will never make a bigger decision in your life. So please follow
me now in the sinner’s prayer: Dear God, I come to you a sinner. I ask forgiveness for my sins. I believe that Jesus Christ,
your only begotten Son, shed His blood to break the bondage of sin in my life, and that His blood and only His blood can wash
away my sins. Wash me clean in the blood of Christ. I promise to follow Jesus Christ with all my might from this day forth.
Thank you God for saving my soul. Thank you for making me a new creature. In Jesus name I pray, believing it’s done.
Amen.
Before
you go to bed this very night, find a place alone and quiet and get down on your knees and pray to God. You do not need to know any pre-conceived prayers or rituals or
sayings. You only need to come to Him and speak from your heart. Thank him for saving you. Thank Jesus for taking your sins
away and dying on that cross for you. Thank Him for raising from the dead and defeating death once and for all and allowing
you a way to be with God forevermore. Ask Jesus to give you guidance and mercy during this new age of your life for you
are a newborn child of God. Repent of your sins from here on out confessing them every night as you pray to Him. Be
humble, thankful, and repentant! After that
begin reading the Word of God also known as the Holy Bible. You do not have to read it all in one night! Read a one chapter
or two at a time everyday. The gospel account of the Book of John in the New Testament is probably the best place to
start. Another place to begin is by reading
and learning the 10 Commandments of God located in the the book of Exodus,
chapter 20 or in Deuteronomy, chapter 5. The Law of God (10 Commandments) is the standard by which every
man and woman will be judged. You will see that we all fall short of the glory of God. The Law brings about the standard
of God to our conscience so that we can recognize sin in our lives, avoid it, and seek true repentance when we fall.
Understand no one can keep the Law. That is what brings us to the realization that very single one of us needs a Savior. We
need God to save us. The Law shows us that. It also shows us that we ALL should be on our knees with a humble heart. One thing that we should also know is that confession is only a
part of repentance. It does not give us license to sin. We cannot just continue to live a life of sin and use confession
as a "get out of jail free" card. We are to try to follow the Law! They were given to us as a way to live life
more abundantly. We should always try to live our life with God following His Word trying to please Him like a child
trying to please his father. You
can go to our webpage to learn the 10 Commandments as well. This is a great resource to gain a better understanding of
the 10 Commandments. Try to learn
one of the 10 Commandments each day in consecutive order starting with the first Commandment, "Thou shall have no other gods before Me."
The reason you want to learn each
one in order is that once you learn them in order, you will NEVER forget them again! You will burn them into your memory by
doing it in this manner. The next thing
that you should do is find a church that honors the Word of God, believes that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Son of
God, that He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of God. Try to go to church as often
as you can not to earn your way into heaven but to strengthen your faith and embolden you to share what has happened
to you in your life. And lastly, start to share
your faith. Tell others what you have found. You can find several resources here at Know the Bible ministries to help
you reach out to loved ones and friends. Your testimony is the best effective witness you have. Don't be afraid! Be
excited. You do not have to make someone believe right
at that moment. You may be the planter of the seed, the waterer, or the harvester. You don't know which one you are at
the very moment. Let God do the rest!
