Dear brothers and sisters,
Accepting Jesus into your life is a profound and life-changing decision. It is the beginning of a journey filled with hope, love, and eternal promise. When you open your heart to Jesus, you are accepting the greatest gift ever given – the gift of salvation and a personal relationship with God.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. This means that by accepting Jesus, you are acknowledging that He is the only path to true peace and eternal life. It is a humble admission that we need His grace and mercy in our lives.
Think of the story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector who climbed a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus. When Jesus saw him, He called him down and decided to stay at his house. Zacchaeus welcomed Jesus joyfully and repented for his sins. This story shows that no matter who we are or what we have done, Jesus is ready to come into our lives and change us from within.
Accepting Jesus also means believing in His sacrifice on the cross. He died for our sins so that we may be forgiven and have eternal life. This is the ultimate act of love and grace. By believing in His resurrection, we are assured of the victory over sin and death. It is through His resurrection that we have the hope of eternal life.
In addition to believing, accepting Jesus involves confessing Him as Lord of your life. It means surrendering your will to His and allowing Him to guide your steps. This is not always easy, but the reward is a life filled with purpose and divine guidance. Jesus promises to be with us always, even until the end of the age.
