The most important decision one can ever make in life is to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It is amazing that something so vital to your future is so simple to do. You should begin by realizing that God loves you. John 3:16 says, "God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die." It’s just as plain as that! God really loves us! He loved us first before we ever thought about loving him. I know that being loved is a difficult concept for some of you. I understand that perhaps many of you have never felt loved before. You know what it’s like to be hurt, misused and abused, but true love is a foreign concept to you.

Well, particularly for those individuals, I want to tell you that it’s true! God really does love you. And he won’t ever hurt you and he will stay when others leave you. He loves you so much that he sent his only Son Jesus to die on a cruel cross so that you wouldn’t have to. And it is through believing in his Son, even by believing on his name that we are saved and have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through him.

I want you to know that it was not something carelessly thrown together, but it was a carefully orchestrated plan of God to save you and bring you back into right fellowship with himself through Jesus, the Christ. God knew you and what you would become. He has a plan for your life.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, "I will bless you with a future filled with hope--a future of success, not of suffering. You will turn back to me and ask for help, and I will answer your prayers. You will worship me with all your heart, and I will be with you...”

It is your destiny to be a child of God. It is your destiny to be blessed and to prosper. Won’t you open the door to your heart right now? Jesus is waiting and saying to you, “Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together…” Rev 3:20.

Jesus wants to abide at your house. Paul teaches us the way of salvation in  Romans 10:9-10, “So you will be saved, if you honestly say, 'Jesus is Lord,' and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.”

Won’t you be saved today? Pray with me right now.  

Lord, thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for allowing me to hear your voice and thank you for the spirit of obedience. I confess now with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. Right now, I make him Lord of my life! And I truly believe with all my heart that you, Father God, have raised him from death. Thank you, Father, for saving me and making me joint-heir to the kingdom through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Did you pray that prayer out loud with me today? That’s great! Now let me hear from you. Write me and say, Pastor Ron, I prayed the prayer. I’m Saved! Saved! Saved!
