We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know
and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
We Must Receive Christ
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His
name" (John 1:12).
We Receive Christ Through Faith
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of
works, that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
(Read John 3:1-8)
We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
[Jesus speaking] "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will
come in to him" (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to
forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional
experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
These two circles represent two kinds of lives:
Which circle best describes your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?
The following explains how you can receive Christ:
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer:
(Prayer is dialogue, talking to God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The
following is a suggested prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life
and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life.
Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now and Christ
will come into your life, as He promised.
Did you pray this prayer?
YES!
