Admit that you are a sinner. Have you ever sinned? Everyone has, but it is not enough to just admit that you have sinned. You have to repent of your sin. Repent means we must turn away from our sin. I was once living for myself, but now I want to live for God.
Believe that Jesus is God’s Son who died on the cross for you and rose again from the dead.
Most people believe that to be true. In James 2, it says that even the demons believe and shudder with fear, so it’s not enough to just believe some facts about Jesus. You have to do step three.
Commit your life to Jesus. You say, “Jesus, everything I am and everything I hope to be, I give it over to You. Take my life and use it. I don’t want to live for myself anymore. I want to live for You.”
Where do you see yourself right now?
Is there any reason why you wouldn’t want to commit your life to Jesus today?
If you’re ready, pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I commit my life to You. Everything I am and everything I hope to be, I give it to You. I love You, and I thank You for forgiving me and loving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
