Be Forgiven - The Plan of Salvation
You Have Sinned
Recognize that you've sinned and ask God to forgive you. The Bible says that if we confess our sins, He will forgive us (I John 1:9).
Turn From Your Sins
Repent of your sin with God's help and grace (Acts 3:19).
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. Invite Him into your heart. The "heart" defined is your spirit, the very heart of your being.
Pray to Invite Christ Into Your Heart
Pray this prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me for all of my sins and come into my heart through the power of Your Holy Spirit, right now. Take control of my life, and make me into the person You want me to be. I now accept You as the Savior and Lord of my life.
God heard your prayer (Matthew 7:7, 9-11, John 14:14; 16:24). Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you have been made a "new creation" in Christ! Read the proof:
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ [has accepted Christ as Savior and Lord], he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Proof That Jesus Will Come Into Your Life
Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20).
