Let us very
short look at the essential about forgiveness, and to receive
the salvation from God in the name of Jesus Christ.
1. Dear Lord, I
ask you in the name of Jesus to forgive all my sins.
I ask of forgiveness and cleansing from sinful thoughts and
acts.
I wish to have a new and better life in the believing of you,
Jesus.
Help me to live near you, Jesus.
Thank you for saving me, Jesus. Amen.
2. If you own
a Bible or a New Testament, read every day a part, f.i. a
chapter or two. Mostly it will be best to start with the gospel
of John. If you read chapter 1, 2 and 3, you will very fast have
some good words from God to memorize, and also the new life in
Jesus Christ as his "newborn" disciple. Go on and read chapt. 4
when Jesus met the woman of Samaria who became a witness for
Jesus to her own countrymen.
3. To pray is the most important part in a Christians life. To
pray, or just talk with Jesus, is very important for every
believer. Both personally and together with others in groups or
in the church.
4. It is
also naturally for every Christian to be a part of a good local
Christian congregation or church. This is very clearly in the
Book of Acts. Look up: (Acts 2,42 They were
continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.)
This is some
few easy advice to start the way of salvation together with
Jesus.
Patience and
confidence in the new life together with Jesus, are very
important in the beginning. To "hold on" in the salvation and
have trust in God and depend on the help from Him. All power of
Heaven is to your disposal if necessary. But to believe is of
essential importance.
Read in the Bible: Joshua 1, 5 " No man will be able to stand
before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with
Moses, I will be with you; I will not
fail you or forsake you.
John 10, 27-29 says:27 "My sheep hear My
voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will
never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 " My Father, who has given them to Me, is
greater than all; and no one is able to
snatch them out of the Father's hand.
(Read the whole chapter 10 in John).
This tells us that God never will
leave us when we want to stay in Him. You will from now on never
be alone. Jesus is always there for you. You can always pray to
him no matter how, when or where, he will be there for you
despite of place or circumstances.
He will always be there to help you, and he is listening to help
you through!
