Jesus loves you. He opens the way to God for you.
Whatever happened – and whatever weighs on you right now: fear, pain or emptiness. You are just one prayer away from inviting Jesus into your life. Here is the good news in four steps.
The good news in four steps
This is the gospel – the reason Jesus came into the world.
1 Timothy 1:15
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”
- Step 1
God loves you.
You are wanted – exactly as you are.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
- Step 2
Sin separates us from God.
We all live without him. No one finds the way back on their own.
Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
- Step 3
Jesus builds the bridge.
He died for our sins and rose again.
Romans 5:8
“But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
- Step 4
You can say yes.
Trust him with your life. It is a gift.
John 1:12
“But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
Do you want to say yes?
Tell Jesus in your own words – out loud or silently. For example:
Jesus, thank you that you love me. I have lived without you and sinned against you. Please forgive me. I believe that you died for me and rose again. From today on I trust you with my life: Be the Lord of my life. Amen.
We’re so glad you said yes.
This is the beginning of a relationship with Jesus. The Bible says:
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!”
