Step 4

We must TRUST JESUS CHRIST and RECEIVE HIM by personal invitation.

The Bible says...

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock (Christ is speaking): if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him." Revelation 3:20

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." John 1:12

"For if with your lips you acknowledge the fact that Jesus is Lord, and in your hearts you believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 (Williams)

  1. Is there any good reason why you cannot receive Jesus Christ right now? What you must do:
  2. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
  3. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
  4. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
  5. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life. (Receive Him as Savior and Lord.)

What to pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that you died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust you as Savior and follow you as Lord, and live in the fellowship of Your Church.
