STARTING THE JOURNEY
God wants a relationship with you. He created you for a relationship with Him.
Our relationships get into trouble when they are filled with hurt, anger, rejection – but God wants to change it.
That’s why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who became a man in order to die for all of our sins. He offers eternal life and the freedom from the payment of sin to all who will believe on Him. Only through Jesus can you have a relationship with God.
Are you ready to begin a relationship with Jesus? Are you ready to let go of your chains, addictions, and shortcomings and allow Him to transform you into something new and beautiful?
How to Begin a Relationship with Jesus Christ
1. Recognize that you are a sinner. No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is righteous—not even one” (Romans 3:10). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.
2. Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you. The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.
3. Repent of your sin. The Bible tells us to “...repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.” (Acts 3:19 NLT). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.
4. Receive Jesus Christ into your life. Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in...”(Revelation 3:20). If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, tell Him! He is listening! The sample prayer below may give you some guidance. It's not the words that are important, it's the attitude of your heart.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ is alive in you! “But if we confess our sins to Him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” (1 John 1:9). This is the first step of a lifelong journey which will change you forever. We would like to partner with you in your journey! Please feel to ask us any questions!
