I would like to share what God’s Word says about how to have a personal relationship with Him.
The Bible says in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” It is our sin that separates us from God.
The Bible goes on to tell us in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” This verse simply tells us there is a price for our sin, and that is separation from God forever.
However, God has given us a gift, and this gift is found in His Son, Jesus. We see this gift demonstrated in Romans 5:8: “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” God’s love was demonstrated by sending Jesus to die on the cross for us while we were still living in our sin.
And in Romans 10:9, God tells us how we must respond to this gift: “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.” Simply believe Jesus died for your sin, was buried and rose again. If you feel the Holy Spirit drawing you to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, then ask Him to forgive your sin, come into your life and save you.
He will come into your life, reside forever and give you abundant life. If you receive Him, then He will not turn you away. Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you are ready, then pray, “Father, I realize I am a sinner and need to be forgiven for my sin. I believe Jesus Christ died for me, and I now ask you to forgive me of all my sin. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior right now. Lord, come into my life and save me, and I will turn from my sin and turn to you from this day forward. Amen.”
