Jesus did not, however, remain dead. After three days, He rose from the grave and later ascended into
heaven. He will return for all those who are trusting in Him as their Savior.
Jesus died for you. You can be saved by asking Him for forgiveness from your sins. If you are willing
to repent of your sin, He is waiting to forgive you. It doesn't matter what you have done in the past, if
you cry out to Jesus for forgiveness, He will not reject you. The word "repent" literally means "to turn
away from." You need to look at your life, admit that you are a sinner, genuinely desire to turn your
back on that sin, and ask Him to forgive you. If you do this, He promises to forgive you.
True Christianity is not about attending a particular church, or how your parents raised you, or what
country you were born in. Being a Christian means that you have a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ, that He is your Savior. It's not good enough that your priest, pastor, mother, or aunt knows
Jesus, you must know Him for yourself. They cannot believe in Him for you, you must believe for
yourself. They cannot repent for you, you must repent for yourself.
Jesus is everywhere all the time. He can hear you now if you ask Him for forgiveness. Please turn your
life over to Him now. Time slips by so quickly, don't miss this opportunity. If you want to pray and ask
Jesus to be your Savior, you can say a prayer something like this:
"Jesus, I know that I have sinned against you. I know the truth is that I have sinned by my own choice,
and I am the one responsible for it. I know that I have earned punishment from You, and that the fair
punishment would be death. Jesus, I believe that You died in my place. Forgive me for my sin. I
cannot cover or take my sin away, I am relying totally and only on You. You are the only one who can
save me. I reject my sin, I turn away from it, I repent. Come into my life, take away my sin, and show
me how to live my life in a way that is right and pleasing to You."
If you have prayed this, YOU ARE SAVED! You are now completely forgiven, a new creation,
innocent in the eyes of God. Welcome to the family of God!
