What Does This Mean for Me Personally?
You’ve just heard the best news in the world. So how does it become real in your life?
A Personal Decision
The heart of the message is simple: Jesus has done everything for you. Your debt has been paid. God is inviting you to accept this forgiveness by faith. This isn’t about joining a religion – it’s about entering a living relationship with God.
How Will You Respond to This Offer?
Faith doesn’t begin with rules — it begins with a decision. It comes down to three simple steps:
1. Admit you need Him.
It’s the honest admission: “God, I can’t live life on my own. I need Your forgiveness.” .2. Trust what Jesus has done for you.
This isn’t about being “religious enough.” A dying criminal simply asked Jesus for mercy — and received this promise: “Today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). That same grace is offered to you.3. Entrust your life to Him.
You can begin right now — with a simple, honest prayer.
A prayer like this could be your start:
“Jesus, I may not understand everything yet, but I believe You died and rose again for me. Thank You for paying for my sins. I open my life to You. Please lead me from now on. Amen.”
God isn’t looking for perfect words — He’s looking for your heart.
What Changes NOW?
This decision isn’t a magic trick for a problem-free life — but it is the start of a fundamentally new reality:
Immediately: You are fully accepted.
Your guilt is gone (1 John 1:9). You never have to hide from God again. You are His child.Every day: You are not alone.
He promised: “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20). That’s true in every crisis, every uncertainty, every joy.For eternity: Your future is secure.
Death is not the end. Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though they die” (John 11:25).
Your Next Steps
