Begin by believing that Jesus died in your place and made a perfect provision through his perfect blood for your sin.
You now have a saving faith in Jesus. Start talking with Him! You can do this through simple prayer and praise.
Just as with any new relationship, you can get to know more about God by reading what He has written to you in his Holy Word the Bible. We recommend the New King James Version.
ACCEPT THE INVITE
Respond with true belief in what Jesus did for you.
Jesus, I want to receive your gift of salvation.
I realize that I’ve sinned and believe that you paid my debt at the cross.
I believe you shed your blood, died and rose again proving that you are God — all so that I could be free.
I transfer my trust from my works over to what you have done once and for all.
I want to walk in relationship with you.
Help me from this day forward to learn your Word and grow in truth.
In Jesus’ name, the only one who saves– Amen!
START TALKING WITH GOD
Think about someone special in your life – how good would things be if you didn’t talk with that person or listen to what they have to say? Life with God is about having conversation. There are two ways we can talk to God, through simple prayer and also by singing praise.
Simple Prayer
Talking to God should be simple. It should be sharing what’s on your mind and in your heart. God wants to hear it all. Throughout the day, in your car, when you lay down to sleep, just talk to God. Here are some examples of simple prayer:
God, help me.
God, I cannot stand how I feel right now, I need your peace.
God I feel alone right now, please help my heart to feel your presence.
Jesus, I thank you for your love.
Jesus, I am scared please help quiet my mind.
Jesus, I need a good night sleep, please give me rest.
God, you are faithful and will do what you said. I trust you.
SIMPLE PRAISE
This is singing songs that express our love to God. Our hearts were made to sing praises and when we do it sounds amazing to God in heaven. It blesses him and it makes us happy! Praise changes any situation, try it. Here are some examples of praise songs, with words:
LEARN ABOUT HIM
