You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer
(Prayer
is talking to God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words
as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is
a suggested prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I
need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I
open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and
Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me
eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make
me the kind of person You want me to be."
Does this prayer
express the desire of your heart?
If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now, and
Christ will come into your life, as He promised.

The moment that
you received Christ by faith, as an act of the will, many
things happened, including the following:
Christ came into your life (Revelation 3:20 ; Colossians
1:27).
Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14).
You became a child of God (John 1:12).
You received eternal life (John 5:24).
You began the great adventure for which God created you
(John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Can you think of anything more wonderful that could happen
to you than receiving Christ? Would you like to thank God in
prayer right now for what He has done for you? By thanking
God, you demonstrate your faith.
To enjoy your new life to the fullest...
Spiritual growth
results from trusting Jesus Christ. "The righteous man shall
live by faith" (Galatians 3:11). A life of faith will enable
you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your
life, and to practice the following:
Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7).
Read God's Word daily (Acts 17:11); begin with the Gospel of
John.
Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21).
Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19;
John 15:8).
Trust God for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7).
Holy Spirit - allow Him to control and empower your daily
life and witness (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8).
God's Word instructs
us not to forsake "the assembling of ourselves together"
(Hebrews 10:25). Several logs burn brightly together; but
put one aside on the cold hearth and the fire goes out. So
it is with your relationship with other Christians.
If you do not belong to a church, do not wait to be invited.
Take the initiative; call the pastor of a nearby church where
Christ is honored and His Word is preached. Start this week,
and make plans to attend regularly.
