How To Be Born Again
(Saved, Become a Christian, Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior or whatever you want to call it.)
(What you call it is not as important as doing it)

In reply Jesus declared," I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."John 3:3

Salvation is a "very" simple, but a "very" important decision.

To be saved you must:

Realize your need for forgiveness. Be truly sorry for your sinfulness. Desire with all your heart to be forgiven.

This makes you a child of God."Yet to all that received him, to those that believed in his name, he gave the right to become the children of God. . ."

(John 1:12).

Six Simple Steps to Salvation

1.Acknowledge- Acknowledge, in the light of God's Word, that you are a sinner. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us"

(1 John 1:8).

2.Repent - Realize the awfulness of sin and then repent(turn away from it) of it. "I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you will all perish. " (Luke 13:3). "Repent, then turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."(Acts 3:19).

3.Confess - Confess, not to men, but to God. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all

unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
. . .and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." (Romans 10:10)

4.Forsake - Sorrow for sin is not enough in itself. We must want to be through with it once and for all. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the evil man his thoughts. and let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him . . ."

(Isaiah 55:7).

5.Believe - Believe in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

6.Receive - Receive Jesus personally into your heart and life by faith. "Yet to all who received him, to those that believed in his name, he gave the right to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12).

Would you like to have Jesus in your life? If so, Please read this prayer out loud.

Dear Jesus, have mercy on me and forgive my sins. I am sorry for the wrongs I have done. Please take away this burden from my heart. Deliver me from every wrong desire and every bad habit that binds my life. Give me Your peace in my life. Make me Your child, a true Christian, right now. I Now allow You into my heart and life this very moment as my Lord and Savior. I will serve You from this hour all the days of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for dying on the cross in my place. Create in me a new heart and life. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen.

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY *

I would like to "Strongly" suggest that you get a Bible and start reading the book of John. (Allow Jesus to lead you to the Bible that is best for you at this time.) This will be a very good starting place for you. Don't forget to pray and ask God to help you read and understand while you read. Remember, you are new at this. It is going to take time, but at least you have started. If I may be of some help, feel free to email me with your request or questions. I will get back to you as soon as I am able to do so.
