Jesus is our hope of forgiveness and eternal life
God created us to be with Him, but our sin separates us from Him. Here is the good news: Jesus paid the price for our sin. He died, and He rose again. Now everyone who turns from their sin and trusts Jesus has forgiveness of sin and the hope of eternal life with God.
“For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
Saying yes
If you are ready, you can tell Him so right now. There are no magic words — God is after your heart, not a formula. You can pray something like this:
Jesus, I know I have sinned, and I know I cannot fix it myself. I believe You died and rose again for me. I am turning from my old life and putting my trust in You. I want to follow You from here on. Amen.
If you prayed that
Scripture says there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:10). Here is what is true of you:
- You are forgiven (1 John 1:9).
- You have the guaranteed hope of eternal life (Romans 10:9).
- You are sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of everything God has promised you (Ephesians 1:13–14).
- You are part of the family of God (John 1:12) — that is what the Church is.
If you prayed that today, tell us. We would like to celebrate with you, and help you learn how to follow Jesus day to day.
