Are you ready to turn your life over to Jesus Christ? It is the greatest thing that you will ever do! The following is a step-by-step plan of how to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. True salvation can only come from a heart of genuine repentance and the work of the Holy Spirit to change you into a new creation. Reading this webpage and completing the steps will not save you, but if you have reached a point of genuine repentance in your life, this list can help to guide you in your conversation with the one true and living God.

God Loves You!

God has a wonderful plan for your life!
"I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10b

1. Because of our sin, we are separated from God. 
   "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
    

2. The Penalty for our sin is death.
   "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
    

3. The penalty for our sin was paid by Jesus Christ!
   "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

   "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

"...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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9,10

Now that you are a "new creature" in Jesus Christ, the road ahead will be full of life changing experiences.
