Who is Jesus?
Jesus is our Savior. He is the son of God and was with God from the very beginning, before the heavens and earth were formed. He left heaven to come to earth, was born of the Virgin Mary, and laid down his life as a sacrifice for us. He died on the cross having lived a life free from sin to reconcile us with God.
Why do I need Jesus?
It is through Jesus alone that we are forgiven for our sins and reconciled to God. Jesus paid the price for all mankind’s sins, past, present and future. When we believe Jesus is the son of God and he was raised to life again, we are saved. In the Bible, Romans 10:9 states
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
To be saved is to be forgiven of our sins through Jesus and have our eternity in heaven secured.
How can I accept Jesus?
If you are not sure whether you are right with God or you know in fact that you need Jesus in your life, you can choose to follow Him right now by praying a prayer of surrender to Jesus.
Dear Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and Savior. I believe God raised you from the dead. I ask for forgiveness for my sins and declare that through you, I am forgiven. I accept your love, grace and mercy. I ask for your blessing to guard my heart, to lead me, to grow my faith in you every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Congratulations! To pray these words with a surrendered heart is the beginning of a new life and the promise of heaven. The angels are rejoicing at your decision! (Luke 15:10).
