The main theme of all the books of the Bible is God’s love for you. This love is made known in the Old Testament and made complete through Jesus in the New Testament. Because Jesus Christ came into the world, lived among men, died on the cross, and rose from the dead--God offers you forgiveness for your sins and the promise of everlasting life.

Christ died and rose again for the whole world, but your becoming a Christian is an individual matter. The only way to establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is to accept His offer of forgiveness and everlasting life. The following Scripture passages show God’s part and yours.

Read each statement, look up the verses, and believe, for it is the Word of God speaking to you.

1. Admit your condition and your need—that as a sinner, you are separated from God, and you need a Savior to redeem you. Romans 3:23; 6:23; John 3:3
2. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sin, then rose from the grave to give you eternal life. Acts 16:31; John 3:16; Romans 5:8
3. Through prayer, receive Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. John 1:12; Romans 10:9,10,13

What to pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am sinful and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died to pay the penalty for my sin. I want to turn from my sin and follow You instead. I invite You to come into my heart and life. Thank You for Your gift of forgiveness and eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
