What About Jesus?
Romans 10:9 If you openly say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved.
Different people have different views of what it means to be a Christian. For some, it’s an intellectual thing. For others, it’s an emotional thing. But what is it for God? What is it for Jesus? What does it truly mean to call yourself a Christian?
Maybe you’ve been listening to Christian radio or watching Christian television, going to church, reading books … whatever – for a day, a week, a year … or even a lifetime. Perhaps you’ve heard the odd ‘God this and Jesus that’. And you think, “Yeah, that sounds cool. Don’t mind that at all.”
Great. But have you taken the next step? Have you accepted Jesus into your life? Wherever you’re at, maybe you’d like to pray this prayer with me:
Father God, I’ve heard what you did for me through Jesus. And I believe that He paid for all my failures and mistakes on that cross. Thank you so much. I’m so sorry for all I’ve done that’s wrong and I turn my back on all that stuff. Please forgive me. I want to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and I want to spend the rest of my life living for you, and all eternity living with you.
From today on, I want to be one of your people. Lord, send your Holy Spirit to live in me – to guide me, to bless me. I pray this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.
If you prayed that from your heart to the God who sent Jesus to die (so that you could be forgiven), and rise again (so that you could have a rich, abundant, eternal life with Him), then you’ve just become one of His people.
Romans 10:9 If you openly say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
