If you will repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus, God says he will forgive all your sins and grant you the gift of everlasting life.

Just like the court case we just talked about above, if you repent (that means to confess and forsake your sins) and put your trust in Jesus, then you will not have to suffer God's justice in Hell because the payment for your crimes was made by Jesus on the cross.

If you're not sure what to pray, read Psalm 51, and make it a model for your prayer. The words are not "magical". What God cares about is the attitude of your heart.

When you pray, it can be something like this:

"God, I know that I have broken your Laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus name, Amen."

Now read your Bible daily, and obey what you read. God will never let you down.

What should you read? We suggest that you start in the book named "John". Whatever you decide to read, make sure you read the Bible every day.

We now suggest that you read "Save Yourself Some Pain", which contains 10 very important steps for new and growing Christians.
