How to pray

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior, In Jesus' name. Amen.

 

God's Assurance: His Word

If you prayed this prayer, The Bible says...

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13
 

Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? Where is He right now? What has He given you?
 

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
 

Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. This is called regeneration or the "new birth."

 

This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. These things will help deepen this relationship:

Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better and learn to recognize His voice.

Talk to God in prayer every day, don’t forget to listen too.

Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached.

As Christ's representative in a needy world demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.

Tell others about Christ.

 

As you learn to recognize God’s leading you will soon see Him drawing you to new places. Do not allow fear to keep you from going there. As a new Christian the steps He asks you to take will be small and that’s okay because we all must be faithful in the small things before we are given more responsibility. What we do, large or small does not matter, only that we are learning God’s voice and we are obedient to His call. It is this obedience that brings peace because we know God is doing something wonderful in our lives and He has planted His purpose deep within us!

Take courage traveler for God is with you and one day the race will be ran. So run withholding nothing because this is your time to know the depth of your Savior’s love. Soon there will be a homecoming feast beyond comprehension! (Luke 13:29 MKJV)  And they will come from the east and the west, and from the north and the south, and will recline in the kingdom of God.
