God has always loved you and Jesus came to earth to die for your sins. 

Here is what you need to understand to begin a relationship with Jesus.

• We were created to have a close relationship with God.  He wants us to hear Him, love Him, and obey Him.

Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.  (Jeremiah 11:4)

• We have all turned away from God to do our own will.  Many people weren't very aware they did this, because they were just following the example of others.  Some people think they are pretty good people, because they compare favorably with other people.  The truth, though, is that we all fall short.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  (Romans 3:23)

• Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for our sin.  This cleared the way for us to be forgiven and reconciled to God.

For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.  (1 Peter 3:18)

• We need to choose to believe in Jesus and invite Him into our lives.  He will forgive us.  We need to turn away from our sins and obey Him.

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

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.  (Jesus speaking in Revelation 3:20)

Millions of Christians have begun a new life with a simple prayer something like this: "Jesus, I know you love me and died for my sins.  Come into my life.  Forgive my sins and take over my life.  I want to learn how to live for you."

Once you make that commitment, you can grow strong as a Christian by doing these things;

• Learn what He wants you to do by studying the Bible.

• Get in the habit of obeying God when you learn what He wants.

• Get involved in a church with believers who will encourage you to grow strong.

• Pray each day.  God says you can pray about anything, and you can pray anywhere.

• Use some of your time and ability to serve others.  You can get help learning to do this in most local churches.
