How to prepare:
1. Open your heart to the good news:
That Jesus Christ ...
... is the Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the beginning...
... was born of a virgin...
... is the ‘light of the world’: Immanuel = God with us;
... a baby, born for you and for me...
... is the way, the truth, and the life, the only way to heaven and eternal life...
... who has sent the Holy Spirit to live within those who receive Him, Jesus Christ, as Lord ...
... is King of kings, Lord of lords, the great ‘I Am’, the ‘Lamb of God’, who died on the cross and shed His blood as the ultimate sacrifice of love for all mankind...
...who rose on the third day and ascended into heaven
and is seated with His Father...
...and who will return to judge the living and the dead...
You may sincerely tell Him words like these:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that you love me, died for my sins, and rose again.
You are the Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
I love you and I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and be my Lord and Savior forever...
In your name, Amen."
