Born Again
- **Recognize the Need**:
Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of salvation. This involves understanding that everyone falls short of God’s perfect standard (Romans 3:23).
- **Repentance**:
Repentance is crucial. It means turning away from a life of sin and disobedience to God and turning towards Him with a sincere desire to change (Acts 3:19).
- **Faith in Jesus Christ**:
Believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and acknowledge His death and resurrection as the means of forgiveness and salvation (John 3:16, Romans 10:9).
- **Confession**:
Confess your faith openly. Declare Jesus as your Lord and Savior before others, acknowledging Him publicly as the leader of your life (Romans 10:10).
- **Baptism**:
Follow Jesus’ command and example by being baptized in water. Baptism symbolizes the washing away of sin and the beginning of a new life in Christ (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4).
- **Growth and Transformation**:
Commit to growing in your faith through prayer, reading the Bible, fellowship with other believers, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform your life (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:22-24).
Receive Jesus as your savior:
Choosing to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the most important decision you’ll ever make!
God’s word promises,
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation…For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved. (Romans 10:9-10,13)
By His grace, God has already done everything to provide salvation. Your part is to simply believe and receive. Pray out loud, Jesus, I confess that you are my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. Please forgive my sins. By faith in your word, I receive salvation now. Thank you for saving me!
