Yes!

Do you want to know Jesus as your Savior?

I love Jesus! He is my best friend, comforter, and redeemer. I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was five years old.  I was in kindergarten and I really wanted Jesus to be my Savior, so when my teacher asked if anyone wanted to become a Christian, I said yes!!!

Did you know that Jesus wants to be your Savior and live inside your heart?
If you want to make that commitment, you can read below and follow the steps* to invite Jesus to come into your heart.


1.  Admit honestly to God that you have sinned by disobeying Him.
Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death (everlasting punishment)." 


2.  Believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again.  His blood was shed to pay for your sins.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." 


3.  Choose to trust Jesus alone for the forgiveness of your sin.
Romans 10:13 "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." 


John 3:18 "He who believes in Him (Jesus) is not condemned."

Sometimes, I think about how accepting the Lord as Savior is as simple as Proverbs 3:5-6, which is the first verse I had ever learned in school:

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight."
Reading this verse in the Message translation may help you understand it a bit better:
Proverbs 3:5-12 ~ The Message
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline;
don't sulk under his loving correction.
It's the child he loves that
God corrects;
a father's delight is behind all this.

If you are ready to give your life to God, believing in Jesus Christ as Lord, you can follow the steps above and also say the prayer below.

Dear Jesus,
I am sorry for all the wrong things I have done. I know I am a sinner, and that I need you to help me because I am not perfect. I ask you right now, to come into my heart and be my Savior. Help me Lord Jesus to do what is right and follow you in everything.
In Jesus' Name, Amen!

If you have done this, I would love to know. You can email me at realgirlsbecoming (at) gmail (.) com.   Please include your first name and age.  Also if you would like to, you can give me permission to announce this so our other sisters in Christ can rejoice also!
