I borrowed this from a local Church's website. I hope it can bring others closer to God & Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Step 1

Know that God loves you and wants you to have eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16,17

 

Step 2

Know that God has made Salvation and forgiveness of sin as simple as A-B-C:

   Admit that you are a sinner and therefore separated from a holy God.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

   Believe that Jesus Christ died for you and rose from the dead to pay for your sins. "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

  Confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by repenting (turning from) of your sin and trusting Him alone for forgiveness and salvation.

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Behold, I (Jesus Christ) stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in... Revelation 3:20

 

 Step 3

If you truly want to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, here is a simple prayer to pray from your heart to God's heart:

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,

  I admit that I am a sinner.

  I believe Jesus Christ died for my sin and rose again.

  Right now, I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord.

  I invite Him to come into my life and take control.

  In Jesus' name, Amen.
