  51. Curriculum by John

God in Heaven, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and have fallen short of Your righteous standard. I deserve to be judged for eternity for my sin. Thank You for not leaving me in this state, for I believe You sent Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, who was born of the virgin Mary, to die for me and carry my judgment on the Cross. I believe He was raised again on the third day and is now seated at Your right hand as my Lord and Savior. So on this day, I repent of my independence from You and give my life entirely to the lordship of Jesus.

Jesus, I confess you as my Lord and Savior. Come into my life through Your Spirit and change me into a child of God. I renounce the things of darkness which I once held on to, and from this day forward I will no longer live for myself; but by Your grace, I will live for You who gave Yourself for me that I may live forever.

Thank You, Lord; my life is now completely in Your hands, and according to Your Word I shall never be ashamed.

Welcome to the family of God! I encourage you to share your exciting news with another believer. It’s also important that you join a Bible-believing local church and connect with others who can encourage you in your new faith. Feel free to contact our ministry for help finding a church in your area (visit MessengerInternational.org).

You have just embarked on the most remarkable journey of intimacy with the Most High God. May you grow in friendship with Him every day!
