Discovering Christ As Your Personal Savior

Have you ever wondered WHO Albert is honoring when he raises his hand to the sky after he reaches base, scores, or hits a homerun? In 1998 Albert's most thrilling accomplishment came when he accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. His soon to be wife, Deidre shared with him how much Jesus loved him. Albert will tell you the most exciting moment in his life is when he realized Christ died on the cross for his sins. At that moment he understood by accepting Christ as his Savior he would be spending eternity with Christ in heaven. As thrilling as winning the World Series was for Albert and his team, he believes that having a relationship with Jesus does not even compare to being a World Champion. A World Series ring will one day tarnish but a relationship with Christ will last for eternity.

If you feel there is something missing in your life. That something is someone...Jesus Christ. You have tried to do it on your own for so long and now you know it’s time to make a change. Inside every one of us is a God-shaped void. That void is the need for Jesus Christ. Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He paid the price of our sins by dying on the cross. He not only lived a perfect life and died for our sins but he also defeated sin by rising again on the third day. Our part is accepting this free gift of salvation.

If you would like to ask Jesus Christ into your life, pray this prayer: “Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me. I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I know that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I want to turn from my sins and give You control of my life. Please come into my life right now, Lord. Help me to follow You always. Amen.” Acts 3:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17.

If you prayed this prayer, you are a new creation in Christ! The Bible tells us “The old is gone and the new has come.” By making this decision to follow Christ you now have the peace only Christ can offer. Find a church that teaches from the Bible and make a difference in someone else's life by sharing Christ with them.
