Is Jesus Your Lord & Savior?
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the most important decision you will ever make. It’s the beginning of a life-changing journey filled with God’s love, grace, and purpose. If you’re ready to take that step, here’s how you can invite Him into your heart:
1. Acknowledge: Recognize that you need a Savior and believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again. (Romans 3:23, John 3:16)
2. Repent: Turn away from sin and surrender your life to God. This means acknowledging your need for forgiveness and committing to walk in a new direction. (Acts 3:19)
3. Confess: Pray and invite Jesus into your heart. You can say something like this:
“Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and need your grace. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I invite you into my life as my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow you and live for you. Amen.”
If you’ve prayed this prayer and truly believe in your heart, congratulations! You are now a child of God. (Romans 10:9-10)
Living Your New Life in Christ
Your journey with Jesus doesn’t stop here; it’s just beginning! To grow in your faith and maintain your relationship with Him, here are some steps you can take:
• Pray Daily: Spend time talking to God. Share your heart, your gratitude, and your needs with Him. Prayer is your direct connection to your Heavenly Father.
• Read the Bible: God’s Word is your guide for life. Start with the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) to learn more about Jesus’ life and teachings.
• Fast: Fasting helps you draw closer to God by setting aside distractions and focusing on Him. Seek guidance from the Holy Spirit on when and how to fast.
• Join a Bible-Believing Church: Fellowship with other believers who can help you grow in your faith and provide spiritual support.
• Engage in Community: Surround yourself with like-minded believers who will encourage and uplift you. Our Bold in Purpose community is here to support you on your walk with Christ.
• Share Your Faith: As you grow in your relationship with Jesus, don’t keep it to yourself. Share your testimony and God’s goodness with others.
