12. The Present Most Important Decision For Us

Receiving Salvation In Jesus Christ

Now that you have seen how Scripture points to Jesus as the Messiah and Savior of the world, you have the opportunity to make the most important decision of your life. Take a moment to pause and reflect on your heart. If you have not yet personally invited Jesus into your life, you can do so right now by asking Him to be your Lord and Savior.

Pray this Prayer:

“Jesus I believe You are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins. I believe that You conquered death and the grave rising on the third day. You alone have the power to forgive the sins of the world. I ask You Jesus to please forgive my sins and wash me clean. I invite you to come into my heart and be the Lord and Savior of my life. I thank You for the gift of Salvation and eternal life with You in heaven. Please help me to learn from Your Word, the Bible, and grow more in my understanding about You and help me to be transformed to whom You want me to be. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen!”

There is celebration in heaven now. Look at what Jesus said: “So Jesus told them this story: “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away! “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.” Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬
