You Can Be Part of the Family Of God

God is not mad at you! He isn’t counting your sins and holding them against you. He wants, so much, to have a personal relationship with you that He sent Jesus, His only Son, to shed His blood, die on the cross, and then be raised from the dead. He did all that so that you can be set free from the bondage of sin and the fear of death and enter into eternal life.

Accepting Jesus Christ is very simple. Romans 10:13 says, “Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” That means you! 

Say it with your mouth. Verse 9 and 10 of that same passage tell us that if we say with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we “shall be saved.” It’s that easy! Do this and you’re saved (you have eternal life with God).

Say this prayer out loud right now: “God, I want to be a part of Your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I will be saved. So God, I now say that I believe You raised Jesus from the dead and that He is alive and well. I accept Him now as my personal Lord and Savior. I accept my salvation from sin. I am now saved. Jesus is my Lord. Jesus is my Savior. Thank You, Father God, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!”

Welcome to the family of God! Congratulations! Your journey as a child of the King of Kings has just begun! You must begin by spending time daily in prayer and in God’s Word, the Bible. You must also find fellowship with other believers in a church that teaches and preaches the Bible. You should also now confess Jesus as your Savior before men. That means you should share about your new faith in Christ with your family, coworkers and others whom God has placed on your daily path.
