If you are really serious then read this whole post and tell me what the Lord is telling you.

If you have come to this page, friend, it was probably not by accident.
Perhaps you are hurting, perhaps confused. Maybe you are ready to just end it all.
You feel like no one really knows or understands the war going on inside your heart.
I want to tell you something and I really want you to take a minute to think about it.
Jesus knows what is going on in your heart.
He knew you before you were born:
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13 NIV)
And he cares about you very much.

Jesus really is the only help for today's heartaches.
We try to bury them in other pleasures, sex, drinking, drugs, pornography...but there is only one solution.
Perhaps you have lead a life of sin and you have never really known the Lord. Oh, you may know about Him...
but even the demons of Hell know about Him.

I'm speaking of knowing Him... like you would know your closest friend. Whatever you are going through, Jesus has the answer.
He desires to wash away the past and make you new. He can give you a new start.

Please take a moment to read the rest of this page and let me know how you feel.

1. GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU

John 3:16:
"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."

"Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7)

"Jesus … said unto them, ‘They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, not sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).

"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost" (Matthew 18:11).


2. SIN HAS SEPARATED MAN FROM GOD

Romans 3:10:
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

Romans 3:23:
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

Isaiah 53:6:
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

Man has chosen to disobey God and go his own way. Sin means missing the mark of perfection.

3. MAN'S EFFORTS CANNOT REPAIR THE DAMAGE CREATED BY SIN

"For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending out life in malic and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Saviour and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:3-5 NAS).

Neither good works, moral lives, religion, baptism, church membership, confirmation, philosophy, can bridge the gulf which separates us from God.


4. JESUS CHRIST IS GOD'S REMEDY FOR SIN
Romans 5:8:
"But God commendeth [proved] his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Acts 13:39:
"And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."

Ephesians 1:7:
"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."

Acts 4:12:
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must saved."

Jesus Christ was the only One who ever lived a sinless life. He was willing to give His own life to pay for our sins when He died on the cross.

5. HOW TO ACCEPT GOD'S FREE GIFT OF SALVATION

Romans 10:9-10:
"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; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Romans 10:11-13
"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: For the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" ().

Matthew 11:28-30
"Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke s easy, and my burden is light" ().

Ephesians 2:8-9:
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."

Roman 4:5:
"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."

Acts 16:31:
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

There is nothing that you can do to earn salvation; you are saved by God's grace and grace alone. All you need do is turn to Him in faith and believe on Him. Specific words are not necessary. The following simple prayer may express the desire of your heart, but you can pray with your own words.

A Prayer for Salvation

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the Name of Jesus.
Your Word says, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).
I am calling on You.
I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart
and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10.
"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."
I do that now.
I confess that Jesus is Lord, and
I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian - a child of Almighty God! I am saved! You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13).

Father I'm also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).

CONGRATULATIONS! You have just made the most important decision in your life! Jesus has come into your heart. He will be your best friend. Make time to talk with Him daily. Read His Word, the Bible, regularly. He will speak to your heart and lead you all the days of your life, if you continue to seek Him and let Him. Locate a strong Christian church in your community for Bible study and fellowship. And be baptized as a public profession of your new faith in God.

Begin to praise God for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak those words and syllables you receive - not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. You have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.

Now you are a Spirit-filled believer. Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in tongues each day. You'll never be the same!


ASSURANCE OF SALVATION

John 10:28:
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

John 5:24:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life."

I John 5:13:
" These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..."

All your sins have been completely forgiven. You are saved to the uttermost. The Holy Spirit, which has been given you, will never be taken away.

"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" (Romans 10:9).

"Who (the Father) hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son" (Colossians 1:13).

"God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

If you desire to be baptized, this can be administered by any born-again believer. But if you are not able to, realize that the receiving of the Holy Spirit is not contingent on baptism.


AS A NEW CHRISTIAN

Romans 5:1:
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Romans 8:15:
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."

Romans 12:1:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

Colossians 3:1:
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God."

Believe He will cleanse you and make you over again.
"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus cleanseth us from all sin … If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:7,9).

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

CONFESS HIM PUBLICLY AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.
"Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32,33)

"Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God" (1 John 4:15).

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:10).

TRUST HIM WITH SIMPLE CHILD=LIKE FAITH.
"And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you. Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 18:2,3)

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

Abide in Christ and let His Word abide in you, and His Spirit will surely produce fruit in your life. As you read the Word of God, which is your foundation, the Holy Spirit will lead you and teach you the things of Christ. Walk in the light as He is in the light. This is what it means to be in close, intimate fellowship with the Lord Jesus.
