In the beginning God created mankind in His image and after His likeness. They were created to have dominion over the earth, and to worship God. God gave mankind the will to choose between good and evil. However, mankind chose to violate God's law through disobedience (sin). This sinful state separated man from God, but God had a plan. A plan that would bring hope to all - that includes you. His plan can be summed up in one name, JESUS. Jesus's sacrifice on the cross brings mankind back into relationship with God.
It doesn't matter what you have done in the past or how long you've been doing it! Once you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, the Blood of Jesus covers your sins, and there is NO condemnation if you are in Christ Jesus and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1) You can be restored back to your rightful place in God. You can find the hope you've been looking for. How do I receive this hope called salvation:
Believe that God loves you
Confess/Repent that you have sinned
Receive the gift of salvation
Apply God's word to your life
If you want to be saved today begin by praying this simple prayer now:
Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I am a sinner and I am sorry for all the wrongs that I have done. I believe that your Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins and was raise from the dead for my victory. Please forgive me and I now invite Jesus to come into my heart and life as Lord and Savior. I commit and trust my life to you. Thank you for dying for my sins, for your free pardon, for your gift of eternal life, for the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life even now and for hearing and answering my prayer. Thank you for everlasting hope. In the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen!
As a result of your decision, you can begin to live the life that you were created to live, and worship Him as your Lord!
