"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
The scripture presented above provides the instructions to receive Christ as your Savior. Hopefully by now you understand that you need to be saved through forgiveness of your sins and that the only way this will occur is through acceptance of Christ's sacrifice.
There is no magic here. No one will wave a wand and "poof" make you a believer. That can only come through God's Spirit making you realize your need for Christ and through your willful acceptance to make Jesus your Lord. What that entails includes realizing you have sinned, desiring to be forgiven of those sins, and turning from your sinful thoughts, attitudes, and actions. It requires that Jesus become the Lord of your life. This means that you choose to follow Him from this point on. Also, you have to believe that He is capable of saving you- that His death on the cross did not end His story- that He rose again three days later and therefore proved His divinity and His power over death and sin.
Lastly, you must believe that He will save you. Sometimes this is the most difficult part because we all have a lot of baggage. We may feel that we are not worthy enough to be saved, that we have done too many bad things in our lives. The thing to remember is that Jesus' shed blood is powerful enough to wash away all of that, whatever it may have been. Christ proved that point three days after being cruxified. There is no detergent stronger than the blood of Jesus.
So if you are ready to accept these things, to take that step, to walk free of your past mistakes and begin to learn to walk with God, pray to Him and confess your need. Ask God to save you and He will. Do so earnestly and truly. The form of the prayer doesn't matter, just the shape your heart is in as you pray. Then go out and confess to others what God has done for you!
God Bless You!
