Making Peace With God

Realize that you are a sinner.
Sin separates you from God and causes this deep loneliness to fester. The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (Roman 3:23).

Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
Jesus said, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)." God gave His very Son to die in our place. As the Apostle Paul said, "He loved me and gave Himself for me...(Galatians 2:20).

Repent of your sin.
The Bible tells us to "repent and be converted (Acts 3:19)." The word "repent" means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we run toward Him.

Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Jesus Christ Himself taking residence in your heart and life. Jesus said, "Behold, I 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).

What to Pray

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe and thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. As I read the Bible and seek Christian fellowship, make me the kind of person You want me to be.

In Jesus' name. Amen
