How to Know God
God has a plan for your life. He came to this earth as a man. He has experienced all of the pain and suffering that humans have experienced. He proved that He is God by His birth, His life, His miracles, His death on the cross for the sins of the world and His resurrection from the dead three days later. Jesus wants to be your Lord, Savior and friend. To begin a relationship with God you must...
Admit that you are a sinner and need God
Believe that Jesus is God and Savior of the world
Confess Jesus as your Lord
You must repent...
What happens when you turn to Jesus?
Prayer to surrender to Jesus as your Savior & Lord:
"Dear Jesus, I need you. I admit that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You are God and that You died on the cross for my sins, and that You rose again three days later and that You are alive today! I now accept You as my Savior and surrender to You as the Lord of my life. Thank You for coming into my heart and forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Amen."
