"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us".
(Romans 5:8)

   What is the greatest love of all? "Greater love hath no man than this, than a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

   Is God's love for everyone? "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)

   What are God's conditions for having everlasting life? "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36).

   Does Jesus ever turn anyone away? "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out"
(John 6:37).

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they are spiritually BORN AGAIN and become a member of God's family, "But as many as received him [Jesus], to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12)

How can I be BORN AGAIN?

There are four steps necessary for you to become BORN AGAIN.
Each step is very important, and
though they may seem to happen
simultaneously, they are listed separately so you can better understand them.

YOU MUST
REPENT

   To repent is to express sorrow for something that is past--in this case, your sin, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation.." (2 Corinthians 7:10a). You must acknowledge before God that you are a sinner and deserve nothing better than hell.

   Repentance is also a SINCERE turning away from sin towards God, "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts" (Proverbs 21:2).

YOU MUST
BELIEVE

Believing in Jesus Christ is more than just believing he exists. The Bible tells us, "the devils also believe, and tremble" (James 2:19b). Truly believing is placing your full confidence in HIM to save you from your sin. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). You must believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that

he died on the cross to save you from your sin. "That 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..." (Romans 10:9,10a).

YOU MUST
ASK

"For whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
To call upon the Lord is to request or appeal
to Christ to forgive your sin and save you from eternity in hell.

You must pray and ASK Jesus to do these things, "...AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION" (Romans 10:10b).

YOU MUST
RECEIVE

To receive something you must take it as a thing offered or sent. Salvation is a free gift of God,
"For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT OF GOD" (Ephesians 2:8).

But like any gift, it is not yours until you take it, or receive it, "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). You must pray and tell the Lord that you wish to receive his wonderful gift of eternal life!

What Now?

The Bible tells us that we must make a CHOICE: to serve God, or to reject God.
Joshua 24:14-15 reads, "Now therefore fear the
LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth...And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE..."

You have come to the place in your life where you must now choose to accept or reject Jesus Christ the Lord. If you choose to accept his payment for your sin, then you simply need to bow your head and pray. Tell Jesus, in your own words, that you are sorry for your sin and ask him to forgive you and save you from hell. Tell him you are willing to receive him as your Lord and Savior, and you would like to accept his gift of eternal life.

Remember, Jesus Christ never turns anyone away, "But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:33).
