1. Agree with God that you are a sinner

   • For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

   • No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit.

2. Believe that Christ paid the penalty for your sin

   • For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

   • But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

   • The penalty of sin is eternal death (separation) from God in a place called Hell.

   • Christ paid our death penalty on the cross.

3. Ask Christ to come into your heart so that you can accomplish God’s purpose for your life

   • Eternal life is a free and undeserved gift for us!  Will you accept that gift today before it is too late?  If yes, then you can simply pray a prayer similar to this one:

Dear God,

I realize that I am a sinner, and that you sent your son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for me so that I can be forgiven from the sin that separates us.  Please forgive me and take control of my life.  In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
