How To Know Jesus
Becoming a Christian is not about following a list of rules or trying to earn God’s love. It’s about believing in Jesus — and only Jesus — to forgive you of your sins and make you right with God.
The Bible says in Romans 10:9:
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
If you’re ready to put your faith in Jesus today, you can begin by praying something like this:
“Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You into my heart and life. I want to trust You and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Amen.”
