He wants to Forgive you for your Sins
God knows everything about you. He knows the good things that you do but he also knows the bad things that you don’t want anyone to know about. The Bible says that all of us have done bad things, called sins, and it says we all deserve to be punished for doing them—it says “the wages of sin is [eternal] death” (Romans 3:23, 6:23a).
But the Bible also says that “the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23b)! You and I are so important to God that He sent His very own Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and take the punishment we deserve. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son [to die for our sins], that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus came back to life and was seen by hundreds of people before going home to heaven (1 Corinthians 15:3-6)!
God loves you so much that He wants to forgive you for your sins. But first you must agree with Him that you have sinned. You must also truly believe Jesus died for you so you can be forgiven and receive God’s gift of eternal life. If you believe that with all your heart, right now you can tell God that you want to accept Jesus’ death to take the punishment for your sins and accept his gift of eternal life.
Those who believe in Jesus become God’s very own children (John 1:12). He even promises them a home in heaven someday (John 14:1-3). He wants you to be part of His forever family and to help you live to please him every day!
It that’s your sincere desire, you can tell Jesus in words like these:
Dear Jesus, thank you for loving me even though I have done wrong things that you had to die for. I admit my sins and I do believe that you took the punishment that I deserved. Thank you for taking my
