Steps to receive eternal life

1. Confess Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10, John 14:6)
2. Believe that He rose from the dead (Romans 10:9-10)
3. By confessing that Jesus is Lord, you place Him as supreme in your life (Luke 6:46).
4. By confessing that Jesus is Lord, you turn away from your old ways of sinful living (1 Peter 1:14-16).
5. Believing that Jesus rose from the dead goes beyond mere intellectual assent, for even the demons believe (James 2:19). This belief means you place your complete trust and life into this fact. As the saying goes, “You’re all in.”
6. By confessing that Jesus is Lord, you are rescued from the kingdom of darkness into the light of the Son, that is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13-14).
7. Steps 1-6 are often best to express what has already happened in your mind and heart through a prayer that says something like, “Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead as payment for my sins. I now turn from my sin, believing and confessing you as Lord. I thank you so much and I now live my life for You unto eternity. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
8. Read your Bible every day as this is the equivalent of “spiritual food/nourishment” and will keep you growing in your faith (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Good starting points are the book of John and then the book of Romans.
9. Pray daily or even several times a day. This is nothing more than talking to God like you would talk to your parents. God is now your heavenly Father after all (Galatians 4:6). There is a promise of peace if you do so (Philippians 4:6-7).
10. Find a church where Jesus is Lord and only preaches the Bible where you can be encouraged by like-minded people, be trained by each other and begin expressing your faith by good works (Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 10:24-25, Ephesians 2:10).
