"For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16). There's another verse that can be quite comforting to a brand new Christian. "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13).
Now, if you want to be sure you're saved and going to heaven, just say this little prayer:
Now, if you want to be sure you're saved and going to heaven, just say this little prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I am a wretched sinner. Please forgive me for my sins and come into my life. Help me to live for You rather than myself. Help me to be kind to others and be more like You Jesus. Thank You for Your forgiveness and for dying in my place. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen."
If you just prayed that little prayer, congratulations! You're a Born Again believer who is SAVED and "seated in heavenly places!" (Ephesians 2:6). Welcome to the family! Now you need to go and tell somebody that you said that prayer and that you believe! "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9).
Don't forget to pray for forgiveness every day. "His mercies are new every morning. Blessed be the name of the Lord." (Lamentations 3:23). After you get right with God for your day, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8). You may want to try a New International Version or "NIV" bible. It's easier for a new Christian to understand. Read daily, but don't get hung up on reading the bible in a year? You're better off studying a passage that hits you just the right way!
Jesus loves you and I do too. I want you to know God the way that I know Him. He is so good to me. I have to say thank you every day because without Jesus? I don't know where I'd be and I want you to know the God I know!

And now that you're saved, it's time to write
a Dear John letter to the Devil!
