Salvation is God's solution, But it's our decision.
No one can choose eternal life for you. You must make the choice yourself. In Mark 1:15, Jesus said, "...repent, and believe the gospel." Romans 10:9-10 says, that if you "...confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. " John 1:12 says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God."
The two things that God is looking for are:
1) repentance from sin, and 2) acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Only we can make that decision. When we do, God receives us into His family. The Bible tells us in 2 Cor. 5:17 that "...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Imagine that, the chance to start all over with a new life...eternal life!
Prayer is the way we make the connection.
Our link with God is established through prayer, and prayer is simply talking with God. It is vital to keep the lines of communication open in any relationship if it is to succeed and flourish. Prayer is the way we initiate our connection with God, and prayer is also the way we maintain our connection with God.
His invitation of eternal life is to all, so we invite you to make that connection with God now by accepting Him into your heart. We encourage you to pray this simple prayer:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. I repent of all my sins and ask You to forgive me. I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. I believe He died on the cross and was raised from the dead that I might receive His life... now and forever.
Jesus, thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life. I invite You into my heart, and I ask You to change me on the inside. Help me, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to live life in a way that would honor You.
In Jesus' Name... Amen.
