You can choose to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and let Him come into your life as your Lord and Savior.
If you want to accept Christ as your Savior and save you from your sin, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
“Lord Jesus Christ, I believe You are the Son of God – thank You for dying on the cross for my sins.
Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life.
I ask You to come into my life and in my heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve You the rest of my life. Thank You for saving me and coming into my life. Amen.”
