If you are not a follower of JESUS CHRIST but you believe that there is a GOD and HE can help you, then here is what you need to know:

JESUS says that HE is the only way, the only truth, and the only life, and no one can get to to the real and only GOD except through HIM [John 14:6]. Because we are all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of GOD [Romans 3:23], and the result of sin is death [Romans 6:23], we can not save ourselves from eternal spiritual death! No amount of good work will do it. We can only receive eternal spiritual life by faith in JESUS CHRIST alone [Ephesians 2:8-9].

In the book of Romans 10:9, the Bible says that if we confess with our mouth JESUS as our LORD and Savior, and we believe with our heart that GOD has raised JESUS from the dead we will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made into salvation. For the Scripture says that whoever believes on HIM shall not be ashamed:

***

“For GOD so loved the world, that he gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life. For GOD sent not HIS SON into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through HIM might be saved. He that believes on HIM is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten SON OF GOD”

[John 3:16-18].

***

As we turn to JESUS and we ask HIM to lead and guide our lives, as we genuinely believe in JESUS as the only way for eternal life, as we confess HIM publicly as our LORD and Savior, as we turn away from our old ways and turn towards GOD’s ways, we receive the gift of eternal life. As JESUS fills the void in our hearts, our minds and hearts are renewed and the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD starts a lifetime work of sanctification in us.

“And therefore we can be confident that HE which has begun a good work in us will perform it until the day of JESUS CHRIST” [Philippians 1:6].

Begin this journey by inviting JESUS to lead your life from now on. Declare JESUS as your Lord and Savior, and start to be a new creation [2 Corinthians 5:17].

Pray this prayer: Dear LORD, I admit that I have done many things that do not please you, and that I have lived my life my own way. I want to change now and follow your ways. I receive your forgiveness and I accept your sacrifice on the cross for the remission of all my sins – past, present, and future. I believe that you have died and rose again. I believe you are the chosen SON of GOD. I proclaim YOU the LORD of my life and my SAVIOR, and I want to spend eternity with you. Thank you JESUS for paying the ultimate price for my eternal life.
