Do you know Jesus? Maybe you have never fully committed yourself and your future to Him. Or, you may possibly be in need of a fresh, new commitment to the Lord.

If that's the case, I'd like you to consider what the Bible says in the book of Romans: "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" (Rom. 10:9).

Let's do that together right now! Repeat this simple prayer out loud, mean it from your heart, and you will experience a miracle today:

Dear Father God, I have sinned and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died for my sins to purchase a place in heaven for me. I believe that He was raised from the dead to give me a new life.

Lord Jesus, come into my heart right now. Be my Lord and Savior, and make me into a new creation. Help me to turn my back on my old life and to be the person that You want me to be. Thank You, Jesus, for dying on the cross for me, so that I don't have to die for all the things that I have done wrong.

Holy Spirit, help me to follow through with this commitment. Help me to love God with all of my heart, with all of my soul, and with all of my strength. Thank You, God, for saving me! In Jesus' name, Amen!

If you just made this decision for the first time, Jesus said that "all the angels of God in heaven rejoice over one sinner who repents." We want to rejoice with you!

Scripture clearly says that all Christians are aliens on earth seeking a heavenly country (Heb. 11:13-16). This world is not our permanent home! Our desire and goal is to leave this life and to be with the Lord forever—and it all begins with the decision to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.

One sin is enough to keep you from heaven, and the Bible says we have all sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. We're all in the same condition, helpless to save ourselves. We all fall short of the standard God sets for us, or we go beyond the boundaries He establishes. Ultimately, our lives get misdirected.

The good news is that while we were ungodly sinners, enemies of God, He demonstrated His love toward us through the crucifixion and resurrection of His Son. His desire is that none perish, but for all to experience His salvation.

Rejoice today that you have joined the family of God! You can also visit CFAITH's Your Destiny page for more articles to help you in your new walk with God.
