| 1. Acknowledge to God you hav lived selfishly and that, in not honouring Him as Lord of your life, you have sinned and are separated from Him. "For all have sinned and com short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). |
| 2. Repent by turning to God and asking for His forgiveness of your past sins and for His help to live as He desires, "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish" *(Luke 13:3) |
| 3. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that, as He died on the cross, He took your sins upon Himself that you may obtain God's forgiveness. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish *, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. **(Mark 16:16) |
| 4. Confess that you wish to invite Jesus to be Saviour and Lord of your life: "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" (Rom. 10:9) |
| |
| If, after careful thought you wish to make this important step, then pray the following out loud: "Dear God, I am convinced that I am a sinner and as such I am destined to perish. I believe in my heart that Jesus, your Son, died for all sinners, including me, and shed His blood to wash away my sins. I confess Jesus to be Saviour and Lord of my life and thank you for your gift of eternal life. I now trust You to help me to live as You disire." |
| Do not depend on feelings as proof af your asseptnace by God. Feelings are changeable, but your new relationship with God is based on His promises (Rom. 10:13). Do not be ashamed to tell others about Jesus (Mat. 10:32) Take time daily for prayer and Bible reading (1. Pet. 2:2, Psalms 37:4, Rom. 8:14). When you have made this greatest of all decisions, please let us know, and welcome in the familie of God. |
