How to Receive Jesus into your Life:

Admit that you are a sinner.
Be willing to turn away from your sins.
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave as God's only son.
Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ into your heart. Ask him to guide your life through the Holy Spirit.

Sample Prayer:

Dear Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I believe that you died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow you as Lord and Savior.

In your name I pray. Amen.

What Next?

If you just prayed this prayer, find another Christian to tell them that you have just accepted Jesus into your heart. Hang out with them so that they can encourage you in your new faith.

Although it is not necessary to go to church in order to be a Christian, it is a good place for learning more about the Bible and finding new friends that also live for Jesus. Find a church that friends recommend and where you feel at home.
