In John 6:37, Jesus says, "And the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out" (or turn away). In Matthew 11:28. Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." Romans 5:8 says, "Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners." Eph 2:8 says, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God." In other words, come to Jesus just like you are. Eph. 2:9 says, "Not of works" (or effort), "lest any man should boost." So don't try to clean yourself up first, just come as you are.

Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Jesus makes the difference between heaven and hell. Without Jesus, you are out of control. With Jesus, you will have control over the devil and your fleshly desires, as you draw close to Jesus and read the Bible everyday.

In 1 John 4:9, the Bible says, "In this was revealed the love of God toward us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him."

Once we receive Jesus into our hearts, the Bible says in Colossians 1:13 that God has delivered us from the power of darkness and moved us into the Kingdom of Jesus, His dear Son.

After we receive Jesus into our hearts, Jesus says in Luke 10:19 that He gives us power over the enemy, our adversary the devil, and fleshly desires, and nothing by any means shall hurt us. But remember this: Jesus never promised us it would be easy. In 1 Peter 5:8, the Bible says, "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may destroy."

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:8 says, "Draw near onto God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. and He will draw near onto you."

In Second Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is brand new, old things are passed away; behold all things have become new." In John's Gospel Chap. 3, verse 3, Jesus told Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, that "except a man be born again," in other words, accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, he could not see the Kingdom of God.

I will now show you from the Bible how to become a born-again Christian. Know this, that if you mean business with God, you will have a new life with Him. If not, you will just be reciting a bunch of words. Remember, Jesus knows your heart and what you are thinking. First of all, it's so easy to become a born-again Christian; don't try to make it hard when it is not. Remember, John 3:16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever, believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus already paid the price for all. Romans Chap. 10:9, 10:10, and 10:13 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For anyone that calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Now that I have shown you by way of the Bible the way of salvation, Lets pray so you can begin your new life with Christ. Please, repeat the following prayer after me, but just don't repeat it. Let the words become your words from your heart and as you pray, believe and be sincere. That is all it takes. Are you ready now? If so, please pray this prayer now.

"Jesus I am sorry for all my sins. Jesus I now confess You as My Lord and Savior and I believe you, God, that you raised Jesus from the dead. I now receive my full pardon from sin and thank you so much that I am saved and have a new life with You helping me every step of the way. Amen."

1. Get into a church that is preaching and teaching the entire Bible and believes in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

2. Start reading the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and read the New Testament through to Revelation.

4. If you find you have done wrong after coming to Christ, don't give up. Look at 1 John 1:9. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
