Question: Are you ready to put your faith in Jesus alone to forgive you of all your sins?
The Bible teaches us that our heart and soul are transformed when we put our faith in Jesus. When we do, a new relationship begins with God. A prayer is one way to express your newfound faith in Jesus.
Your Prayer: “Dear God, I know that my sins have broken my relationship with you and that nothing I could do could ever change that. But right now, I believe that Jesus died in my place and rose again from the dead. I trust in Him to forgive me for my sins. Through faith in Him, I am entering an eternal relationship with you. Thank you for this free gift. Amen.”
