	Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” That is every one of us. No one is innocent. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Our punishment for sin is death.
	Believe that Jesus is God’s Son. Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus paid the price for our sin. Jesus died on a cross for our sin and God raised Him from the dead.
	Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. Romans: 10:9, “if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:13 expresses it like this, “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 8:1, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
	Do it now. Time is promised to no one. You are not reading this page by accident. If God is stirring your heart, now is the right time to respond. Just pray, “God, I know that I have sinned against you and deserve to be punished. But Your Son Jesus took my place on the cross and died for me. I believe that You raised Him from the dead just as You have said. I know because of what Jesus did that I am forgiven and that You love me. I place my life in Your hands and trust You for my salvation. Thank You for the great gift of love you have given me. In Jesus name, Amen!
