God loves you.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 (NIV)
But, you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 (NIV)
The Holy Spirit convicts you of sin.
"When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in Me." John 16:8-9 (NIV)
Your response is to repent of sin.
"...For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." Matthew9:13 (NKJV)
And to trust in Christ as Savior.
"That 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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved...for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:9-10, 13 (NIV)
If you know that you are a sinner, but would like God's forgiveness and for Jesus to be Lord of your life, you can pray now and change your life forever. All it takes is a simple prayer acknowledging your sin, asking God to forgive You, and claiming Jesus and Lord and Savior. It doesn't matter where you are, what time of day it is, or what you are wearing. If you are a little unsure of what to say, don't worry. All God desires is a prayer from the heart.
Still at a loss for words? Here's a prayer that you can pray:
Dear God, I believe Jesus is Your Son and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. I admit to You that I am a sinner and in need of forgiveness. Please forgive me and save me. I turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Amen.
