HOW TO ACCEPT HIM INTO YOUR HEART
The grace of God. The beauty of this plan, is that He, as a loving Father, did this for us by His grace. No good work, no right living, nothing we can do can earn the salvation of God. He did this and offers it to us as a gift. Our part is to believe. A heart that understands and believes in His atoning sacrifice and resurrection will, by nature, call out to God in thanksgiving. And that is what it takes. A sincere prayer to God, acknowledging our sin, thanking Him for His work on the cross, and committing our lives to living for His purposes - those are the components of a life-changing prayer. Your own words are just right. If you'd like some to follow, here is a prayer you can use: "Dear Jesus, I see and understand that I have lived my life for my own purposes, and that I have sinned. I know I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. Thank you Father for raising Jesus from the dead so I can have new life. Lord, I receive the gift you have given me by your grace. I receive you into my heart, and I commit to living my life for you, with your help and by your grace. Thank you God. Amen."
