Do You Want to Receive Jesus?

Salvation is a gift from God through Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9–10 that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Salvation is not simply about repeating words—it is about sincerely placing your faith in Jesus Christ, turning your heart toward Him, and receiving Him as Lord and Savior.

If you are ready to receive Jesus, you can pray from your heart:

“Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God. I believe that You died for my sins and that God raised You from the dead. I confess that I am a sinner and that I need You. Please forgive me, come into my heart, and be Lord of my life. I place my faith and trust in You. Help me to follow You and live for You from this day forward, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.”

If you prayed this prayer sincerely and placed your faith in Jesus Christ, I encourage you to begin reading the Bible, spend time in prayer, and connect with a Bible-believing church where you can continue growing in your relationship with God.

Did You Make a Decision for Christ Today?

If you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior for the first time or rededicated your life to Christ, we would love to hear from you!

Please email and let us know about your decision so we can celebrate with you, pray for you, and encourage you in your walk with Christ.
