Praise The Lord. In Jesus Name. Amen !
How to Become a child of Lord Jesus and except him as your Savior.
Vishaal Behl.

The central theme of the Bible is God's love for you and for all people. This love was
revealed when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world as a human being,
lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead. Because Christ died,
your sins can be forgiven, and because He conquered death you can have eternal
life. You can know for sure what will become of you after you die.

You have probably heard the story of God's love referred to as the "Gospel." The
word Gospel simply means "Good News." The Gospel is the Good News that, because
of what Christ has done, we can be forgiven and can live forever.

But this gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be yours unless you willingly
accept it. God requires an individual response from you. The following verses from
the Bible show God's part and yours in this process:

God's Love Is Revealed in the Bible

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." --John 3:16 (NIV)

God loves you. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete. And He
wants to give you a life which will last forever, even after you experience physical
death.

We Are Sinful

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." --Romans 3:23 (NIV)

You may have heard someone say, "I'm only human -- nobody's perfect." This Bible
verse says the same thing: We are all sinners. We all do things that we know are
wrong. And that's why we feel estranged from God -- because God is holy and good,
and we are not.

Sin Has a Penalty

"For the wages of sin is death." --Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Just as criminals must pay the penalty for their crimes, sinners must pay the penalty
for their sins. If you continue to sin, you will pay the penalty of spiritual death: You
will not only die physically; you will also be separated from our holy God for all
eternity. The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will
spend eternity in a place called hell.

Christ Has Paid Our Penalty!

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us." --Romans 5:8 (NIV)

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, has paid the penalty for
all your sins. You may think you have to lead a good life and do good deeds before
God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you,
even when you were rebelling against Him.

Salvation Is a Free Gift

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast."
--Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

The word grace means "undeserved favor." It means God is offering you something
you could never provide for yourself: forgiveness of sins and eternal life, God's gift to
you is free. You do not have to work for a gift. All you have to do is joyfully receive
it, Believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died for you!

Christ Is at Your Heart's Door

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the
door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." --Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with you. Picture, if you will, Jesus
Christ standing at the door of your heart (the door of your emotions, intellect and
will). Invite Him in; He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart and life.

You Must Receive Him

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God." --John 1:12 (NIV)

When you receive Christ into your heart you become a child of God, and have the
privilege of talking to Him in prayer at any time about anything. The Christian life is
a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a
relationship that will last for all eternity.

Receiving Him Now

If you want to receive Jesus now, and accept His gift of salvation, it's a matter of
believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, and turning the rest of your life over
to Him. This is not a ritual based on specific words, but rather, a prayerful guideline
for your sincere step of faith.

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from
you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward
you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son,
Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my
prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart
from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do
Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

If you decided to become a Christian today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way
to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.

Get baptized as a public statement of your new faith in Christ.
Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just
develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase
your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
Seek fellowship with other Christians. Develop a group of Christian friends to answer
your questions and support you.
Find a local church where you can worship God. Amen !
May the Lord Bless you always.
Br. Vishaal Behl.

  • 2. God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you, even when you were rebelling against Him. Salvation Is a Free Gift "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast." --Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) The word grace means "undeserved favor."

Receiving Him Now If you want to receive Jesus now, and accept His gift of salvation, it's a matter of believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, and turning the rest of your life over to Him. This is not a ritual based on specific words, but rather, a prayerful guideline for your sincere step of faith. “Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
