You answered:
You know that God forgives your sins (rebellion and disobedience against God) because Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins. But you have never invited Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior.
Your Decision
If you want to submit yourself under the rule and authority of Jesus as your Lord and to believe in Him that He alone is your Savior from all of your sins, we invite you to make that decision now.
God already knows your heart, but it is good to voice your decision and express your commitment to Jesus as if to declare it to heaven and earth. You can say to Him something like this:
“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.”
But remember, it’s not the words you say but the attitude of your heart that is important.
When you trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior and turn over the control of your life into His hands, God forgives all of your sins and gives you new life in the Holy Spirit who will dwell in you as a seal of this new covenant.
I am not ready
You acknowledge that Jesus is the only way back to God. You also believe that Jesus died for your sins and that you can experience God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus.
But you feel you are not ready to turn your life over to Jesus.
If so, we encourage you to find out why you feel you are not ready. What is holding you back from trusting Jesus with your life?
Remember, God is love. God is absolutely good. He is life and also light. Those who are in fellowship with God have everything!
Jesus wants to be your Lord and desires you to be in fellowship (relationship of love and trust) with God because He loves you.
