To invite Jesus Christ into your life, you place your faith (trust) in Him for the forgiveness of your sins and allow Him to transform you into the person He wants you to be.
When you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and rose again from the dead, God will forgive all of your sins, and the Holy Spirit will come to dwell in you. Your old self will be considered dead with Christ. You will be spiritually born again as a new creation in Christ.
You can invite Jesus into your life by expressing your faith directly to God through prayer. Simply pray the following words. But remember, it’s not the words you say but the attitude of your heart that is important.
“Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for all my sins—past, present, and
future.
Thank you for giving me eternal life, which you made possible by your death and
resurrection. I receive you as my Savior by faith and desire you to be Lord of
my life.
I give you the right to make me into the kind of person you want me to be.”
If you have invited Jesus Christ into your life, begin laying a solid foundation for your new relationship with God.
