Becoming a Jesus-follower is not merely believing in a religion or going to church. It’s having Christ take residence in your life and heart. It is telling him that you want to be his servant. It is about submitting your life to him. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in . . .” (Revelation 3:20). If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
“Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins. I am sorry for my sins. I trust that your death on the cross paid the penalty for all of the things I’ve done wrong. I want to follow you the rest of my life. I want to make you my personal Lord and Savior. Amen.”
