Beginning a Relationship with God
You are important to God! No matter how broken you may feel or how desperate your circumstances, you can never out-sin God’s grace. “Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more.” Romans 5:20
“Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ ” Isaiah 58:9
God is a loving God. He is the one absolute truth in a world where few things are certain and stable. He created you and wants to establish a relationship with you. He wants to be your loving Father. He wants this relationship to be an eternal one that lasts throughout your life and extends even after death when you meet Him face to face in heaven.
But to establish this intimate relationship with God, you must first confess His Son, Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Savior. Here is an example of a simple prayer that will help you know what to say when you talk to God;
“God, I realize that I need help in my life. I confess that I have sinned and I know that my sin will keep me out of heaven. I realize that there is not one single thing I can do to earn my way into Your heaven. Right now I am placing all, 100 percent of my trust, in Your Son Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection from the dead as payment for my sin. I now accept You as my Lord and Savior and I commit my life to you. In Your Son Jesus’ name, Amen.”
If you just prayed this prayer, be sure that you may rest in the assurance of spending eternity with God. I encourage you to attend the Bible based church of your choice to develop your relationship with Jesus Christ.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
If you need a Bible and do not know where to find one, simply call your local Christian bookstore and they will gladly direct you to their locations.
