How to be born again


 HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN: You Can Begin a New Life with Jesus Today.
God loves you, and He desires to forgive your sins, restore your life, and welcome you into a personal relationship with Him. Becoming a Christian is not about becoming perfect before coming to God. It begins by believing in Jesus Christ, turning to Him from your heart, and receiving the forgiveness He purchased for you through His death and resurrection. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BORN AGAIN? To be born again means receiving a new spiritual life through faith in Jesus Christ. You acknowledge that you have sinned, believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again, ask God to forgive you, and surrender your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You do not earn salvation through good works. Salvation is God’s gift, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8 KJV. PRAY THIS PRAYER FROM YOUR HEART. The exact words are not as important as sincerely meaning them from your heart. Take your time, believe God, and make this prayer your personal prayer to Him.
Salvation Prayer
 Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today asking You to forgive me of all my sins. Your Word says that all have sinned and come short of Your glory, and I acknowledge that this includes me. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that He died on the cross for my sins and that You raised Him from the dead. I receive the forgiveness that Jesus purchased for me through His sacrifice and the shedding of His blood on the cross at Calvary.  Lord Jesus, come into my heart. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Wash me, cleanse me, and make me new. I surrender my life to You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead, guide, strengthen, and teach me as I begin my Christian walk. From this day forward, I belong to Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, amen. If you sincerely prayed that prayer, believed in Jesus Christ, and received Him from your heart, you have begun a new life with God. The Holy Spirit is now working in your life, helping you grow in your relationship with God and giving you wisdom, strength, and understanding. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV You may not feel different immediately, but your salvation is not based only on your feelings. It is based on your faith in Jesus Christ and the promises found in God’s word. 
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
1. Begin Talking to God. Prayer is simply communicating with God. Talk to Him every day. Thank Him, ask for His guidance, and share your needs and concerns with Him.
2. Read the Bible. Begin reading the Gospel of John in the New Testament. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand what you read and to reveal Jesus to you through His Word.
3. Connect With a Bible-Believing Church. Find a good, Bible-oriented local church that teaches the Word of God and believes in Jesus Christ. Attend faithfully, become involved, and allow mature believers to help you grow.
4. Tell Someone About Your Decision; Let someone know that you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Sharing your decision is an important first step in your new Christian life.  
A PRAYER FOR YOUR NEW JOURNEY
 Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who has received Jesus Christ today. Strengthen them, protect them, guide them, and help them grow in faith. Give them wisdom and understanding as they study Your Word. Lead them to the right church and surround them with believers who will encourage them in their Christian walk. Let their life become a testimony of Your love, grace, mercy, and transforming power. In Jesus’ name, amen.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD. Your new life with Jesus has begun.
