His invitation is clear. We must come to Him. All that remains is a response. In Romans 6:23 we read "...the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." What do we have to do to receive this gift? TAKE IT ! Revelation 3:20 states, "Behold I stand at the door and knowck. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him and he with Me." Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks, seeking entrance into our lives. John 1:12 states, "For as many as received Him, to them He gave to them the right to become children of God." If you would like to receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life right now, pray a prayer something like this from the sincerity of your heart.........
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I receive you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen"
If you just prayed that prayer and really meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Not only that, but he has forgiven you of all your sin. The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1John 1:9). God also promises, "As far as east is from west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalms 103:12)
Your decision to receive Christ also means that you are now going to Heaven one day. That's a lot to be thankful for!
