You were created to know God in a personal way—to have a relationship with Him,
through His Son, Jesus Christ. How do you start a relationship with God?
Realize that you are a sinner

Repent of your sin

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. The
Bible says, “No one is good—not even one.”
We cannot become who we are supposed to be
without Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us, “Repent of your sins and turn
to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.”
The word repent means to change our direction
in life. Instead of running from God, we can run
toward Him.

Recognize that Jesus Christ
died on the cross for you

Becoming a Christian is not merely believing
some creed or going to church. It is having Christ
Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I
will come in . . .” If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and
mean it in your heart.

The Bible tells us that “God showed His
great love for us by sending Christ to die for
us while were still sinners.” 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.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward
us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ
died for us.” -Romans 5:8

Receive Jesus Christ into your life

“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.”
