Recognizing that God is doing a work in you is one thing. Responding to His invitation is another. You’ve been trying to figure out who you are, your purpose in life, and the God that others seem to know better than you. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. In fact, I believe God has led you here. He wants you to know Him, too… more than you can imagine. He’s been whispering to your heart since you entered this world, eager for the moment when you would recognize His voice. And right now, friend, is your opportunity to respond.

No hobby, no career, and no person will ever compare to God’s love for you. He loves you so much that even when humanity fell into sin, he already had a plan to restore his relationship with you. God gave his only son – who died on a cross, was buried, and rose from the dead – so that you could have eternal life. And not eternal life that starts when this life ends, but one that starts the moment you believe.

The kind of life God wants for you is abundant, filled with love, joy, peace, prosperity and purpose. Will it be perfect and you never experience hardship again? No. Unfortunately, suffering is a part of humanity, and God never promised that you wouldn’t suffer sometimes. 

What God does promise you is that: 

• You’ll never have to suffer alone (Matthew 28:20).
• You’ll have supernatural help and grace when you suffer (Hebrews 4:16).
• And your suffering will never be in vain (Romans 8:18). 

If you’re going to have to endure hardship anyway, why not do it with the only one who has defeated every hardship known to man (Hebrews 4:15)… including death itself (Revelation 1:18)? After all, no one else in this universe can promise to never leave you or forsake you and actually live up to it (Hebrews 13:5).

Ready to take the next step?

Say these statements aloud:

1. I repent of my sins and ask you God to forgive me.
2. I believe that God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
3. God, I receive you as my Lord and Savior and I accept your gift of eternal life.

If you said each of those statements with sincerity, then friend, you now have eternal life. It begins TODAY. Write down today’s date — it’s your spiritual birthday… Because if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, the new has come into being (2 Corinthians 5:17).

All of heaven and its angels are rejoicing (Luke 15:10)… and so am I! 

Welcome to the family!
