How to Receive Christ

1. ADMIT YOU ARE A SINNER.
The Bible says we have all sinned. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
What is sin?
- Disobeying God and God’s laws
- Doing things you know are wrong
- Not doing things you know you should do  (James 4:17)
Our sin separates us from God. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ.” (Romans 6:23)

2.  REPENT OF YOUR SIN.
This is when you feel sorry for your sins, and you want to change. You are turning away from sin and toward God. “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.” (Acts 3:19)

3.  BELIEVE IN JESUS.
Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He died for YOU! Trust Him to save you from your sins and have control over your life.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

4.  RECEIVE JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE.
Pray and ask Him to come into your life and be your Savior. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
You can pray something like this: “Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I know my sin separates me from You. Please forgive me of my sins and come into my life. I believe that Jesus is God’s Son and He died for my sins. I want to live my life for You and follow and obey You. Amen.”
