You may have just read one of the articles and I have been asking who can be right with God. Well the bible tells us “…as many as received Him [Jesus], to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” (John1:12).
Believe
You must believe God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. You need to believe that Christ died for our sake on the cross. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16.
You need to have faith in Christ, which simply means having a change in mind which leads to a change in action by coming to him. From the bible, Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John14:6)
Repent
According 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Therefore repenting is the next step to take when you believe. So first of all, we must believe in God. Then we must realize that we are sinners and repent. “Repent, then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.” — Acts 3:19. Repenting is admitting we are sinners and turning away from sin onwards.
Repent also includes confessing our sins and accepting Christ as our Saviour.
Pray
With a simple pray acknowledge Christ as the son of God who died on the cross for us all and confess your sin. If you need help praying just recite this simple prayer
“ Lord thank you for your son Jesus Christ, I accept him as my saviour because he gave his life for me so that I can be saved. Pleas forgive me for all my sins and help me to live a life that pleases you from now in Jesus name, Amen!”
Once you have prayed, don’t doubt yourself but whatever your past mistakes or sins are, behind you. Salvation is a gift from God we receive by Grace through faith, there is nothing we did or ever can do to deserve it. So just you believe and receive it. Ephesians 2:8 says: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God.”
