| Here is a gift for you. It has your name on it. Its wrapped in beautiful red paper and tied with a lovely white bow. This gift is absolutely free to you. You can't earn it or purchase it. In fact it's been paid for in full. But its not yours yet. To make it yours you must do just one simple thing. You have to reach out and take it.
If you'd like to know what the gift is, I'll tell you. It is freedom from sin and the burden of guilt, and eternal life, in Heaven, with me.
You see, I am Jesus, the Son of God. The red wrapping is my blood which was shed for you. The white bow is my sinless body, that was bruised and broken for you. Yes I paid the price for this gift. I paid with my life when I died on the cross in your place. I now sit in Heaven at the right hand of God the Father where I will interceed on your behalf........if you accept this gift.
...........HOW TO RECEIVE YOUR GIFT........
Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only one who can save you from your sin.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosover believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one cometh unto the Father but by me. John 14:6
For there is no other name, under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
..............BELIEVE YOU ARE A SINNER...........
Just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin; in this way death came to all men, because all have sinned. Romans 5:12
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:2 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
 Repent. This means changing your mind about your condition. Now agree that you are a sinner and that Jesus suffered and died for your sins.
But unless you repent you too will perish. Luke 13:5
........ASK GOD TO SAVE YOU........
Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. Acts 16:31
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13
If you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
Yet to all who received Him, tothose who believed in His name, He gave them the right to become children of God. John 1:12
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it too is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 1:10
Its so simple, thats all there is to it. And the most exciting part is that you can do it right now, right where you are, no matter what is going on in your life now. You dont have to make things right first. In fact, once you give your life to Christ, He will help you will all that you need.
If you feel you dont know how to pray, or where to start, here is a simple pray that will help you.
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you died in my place. I believe you shed your blood on that cross for me. I ask you to forgive me of all my sins. I now recieve you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Come into my life and dwell in my heart. Thank you forforgiving me of all my sins and thank you for that gift of eternal life. Help me to walk with you every day from now on and be your child. Thank you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
If you have prayed that prayer and sincerely meant it, heaven is rejoicing right now. In John 15 Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep. Take some time and read it, and see how much God loves you that if you were the only person He would still willingly die for you. I love you with the love of the Lord and I welcome you into the family of God.
