Back in the days of the garden of Eden humans enjoyed an intimate relationship with God. Through sin, God and man became separated. As water and fire can not go together, the same way it was impossible for a sinful man to have a close relationship with the holy God anymore. Redemption was needed and blood had to be shed. That’s why God sent His only son Jesus into this world in order to die on our behalf. We receive forgiveness only by accepting the fact that we are justified exclusively through Jesus’ sacrifice and not through our own effort or good lifestyle.

Becoming a follower of Jesus means accepting Him to be the Lord of your life. You commit yourself to someone whose intention is always based on love towards you. You step into the relationship you were made for – an intimacy with your creator and your father in heaven.

If you have a longing for God and if you would like to invite Jesus into your heart, you can pray the following words:

“Dear Jesus,
thank you for revealing yourself to me. I am longing for a relationship with you and I would like to get to know you. I am sorry for the sin in my life and I ask you to forgive me. Thank you for dying on the cross on behalf of me. Please come into my heart, I want to follow you. From now on you are the Lord of my life.

Thank you Jesus, Amen”.
