Let God Help
7. What must I do to know Jesus personally?
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. It is a gift, nothing you can do to earn it. But like any gift you have to take it to make it yours.
​
A. Admit your need. Even at our best we are not good enough to be with God.​
​
B. Stop trusting that on your own you will somehow be good enough. Instead trust what Christ has done for you on the Cross, His Goodness.​
​
C. Accept the living Christ as Savior. Open the "door" to your heart and invite Him in.
​
D. Receive Jesus Christ as Lord. Give Him the "driver seat" and "controls" of your life.
​
E. Be willing to turn from anything that is not pleasing to Him. He will reveal His will to you as you grow in your relationship with Him.
​
F. You can pray. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:
​
"Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be."
