The Bible says there is one way to Heaven. Jesus said: "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by Me." (John 14:6) This one way is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and follow God's plans for our life which are laid out in the Bible.

Good work cannot save you. Faith in Jesus alone can save you.

For by His loving-favor, you have been saved from the punishment of sin through faith. It is not by anything you have done. It is a gift of God. It is not given to you because you worked for it. If you could work for it, you would be proud. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Below you will find all the steps to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour! It's as easy as A-B-C!

STEP 1 - ADMIT

Admit that you are a sinner and that you need God's help.

  • "For all men have sinned and have missed the shining greatness of God." Romans 3:23
  • "This is what happened: Sin came into the world by one man, Adam. Sin brought death with it. Death spread to all men because all have sinned." Romans 5:12
  • "If we say we have not sinned, we make God a liar. And His Word is not in our hearts." 1 John 1:10

STEP 2 - BELIEVE

Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.

  • "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God’s Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever." John 3:16
  • "But God showed His love to us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
  • "If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved from the punishment of sin." Romans 10:9

STEP 3 - CONFESS

Through prayer, confess Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and ask Him into your heart.

  • "When we believe in our hearts, we are made right with God. We tell with our mouth how we were saved from the punishment of sin." Romans 10:10
  • "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved from the punishment of sin." Romans 10:13

PRAY

Dear God,

I know I have sinned and that my sin separates me from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sins can be forgiven. I believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive.

God, please forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Saviour and Lord. I will strive to obey You and live for You for the rest of my life.

Thank You.

Amen.

LEADING YOUR CHILDREN TO THE LORD

Every child can have a personal relationship with Jesus, and at Hillside Church we encourage our kids to make a decision to follow Him. Our children and teens are encouraged not just to learn about Jesus, but to learn from Him by walking with Him every day.

Here is a guide to help you walk through this decision with your children.
