1. THE WORD OF GOD 

We must not only trust our feelings, which can be changeable and may even be deceptive at times, but instead rely on God’s promises.

• ‘… faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of God.’ (Romans 10:17)

• ‘I will come in’ (Revelation 3:20)

• ‘I am with you always’ (Matthew 28:20)

• ‘I give them eternal life’ (John 10:28)

2. THE WORK OF JESUS

You come exactly as you are. It’s not about what you do or what you can achieve;

it’s about what has been done for you by Jesus on the cross.

• Free gift of God (Romans 6:23)

• It’s free but not cheap: it cost Jesus his life

• We receive it through repentance (turning away from sin) and faith (trust)



3. THE WITNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

When someone becomes a Christian, God comes to live inside them by his Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9).

• He transforms us from within- Our characters (Galatians 5:22–23)

- Our relationships

• He brings a deep personal conviction that we are God’s children

- Faith to knowledge (Romans 8:15–16)

Here is a very simple prayer that you can pray to open the door of you heart to Jesus Christ and invite him to come into your life by his Spirit:

Lord Jesus Christ, I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life (take a few moments to ask his forgiveness for anything particular that is on your conscience). Please forgive me. I now turn from everything that I know is wrong. Thank you that you died on the cross for me so that I could be forgiven and set free. Thank you that you offer me forgiveness and the gift of your Spirit. I now receive that gift. Please come into my life by your Holy Spirit to be with me forever. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen.
