How to Know God
1. Realize that you are a sinner.
No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall
miserably short of being a good person. That is because we
are all sinners. We all fall short of God's desire for us
to be holy. The Bible says, "No one is good-not even one"
(Romans 3:10). This is because we can not become who we
are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.
2. Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
The Bible tells us, "But God showed His great love for us
by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners"
(Romans 5:8). This is the Good News, that God loves us so
much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we
least deserved it.
3. Repent of your sin.
The Bible tells us to "repent and be converted" (Acts
3:19). The word repent means to change our direction in
life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.
4. Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or
going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself
take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said,
"Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If
anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in .
. . ." (Revelation 3:20).
If you would like to have a relationship with Christ,
simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died
for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the
door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal
Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ
has now taken residence in your heart Your decision to
follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will
spend eternity in heaven. The Bible tells us, "If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John
1:9).
To put your faith in action, be sure to spend time with
God by reading your Bible, praying, going to church, and
telling others about Christ. If you have made this
decision please let us know so that we can encourage you

Lu 15:7 says "there will be more joy in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who
need no repentance".
