Even though ALL of us are born in sin, the good news is that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (I Timothy 1:15). If you have never accepted Christ as your PERSONAL Savior and would like to do so, the first step is to be born again. John 3:3 emphasizes: “EXCEPT a man be born AGAIN, he CANNOT see the kingdom of God.” How can one be born AGAIN? We all know that we were born once, our physical birth, but can we enter into our mother’s womb and be born the second time (see John 3:1-17)? No. The second birth comes by being born into the family of God. John 3:16: “For God so LOVED the world [that includes YOU!] that He GAVE His only Begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER [that includes YOU] BELIEVETH [trusts, clings to, relies on] Him [God’s Son, Jesus] should not perish [in hell], but have everlasting life.” All you need to do is sincerely believe with all your heart that Jesus is the Son of God and to be willing to turn from your sins, whatever they are—big or small. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and help you to live for Him, and He WILL do it. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso CONFESSETH AND FORSAKETH them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). John 6:37 promises: “Him that cometh to Me I will IN NO WISE cast out.” Romans 10:9 states: “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 [born again].” If you would like to be born again, pray your own prayer or sincerely pray the following: Dear Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner. I believe that You died for my sins. Please forgive me of my past sins and come into my heart. Save me for Your sake, and help me to live for You. I ask this in Your name. Amen. If you sincerely prayed and asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins, you will have the assurance that you are now a child of God. John 1:12 reveals: “But AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on His name.” Read your Bible EVERY day (start with book of John), and find a Bible-believing church where you can Worship God with other born again believers.
