Bill McGinnis, Director http://www.PracticalLove.com Public Domain Many people, perhaps even you, are going through their lives weighted down by a load of guilt. Even if you are not religious at all, you still have an inborn knowledge of right and wrong which your Creator wrote into your heart when He made you in your mother's womb. Deep down, you basically know what is right and what is wrong, without anybody telling you. Your conscience tells you. As the Bible says . . . ROMANS 2:14-15 (KJV) 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) God understands very well that we have guilt . . . "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23 KJV) And God has provided a clear and simple way for us to eliminate all of our guilt, now and forever: His Son, Jesus Christ. By dying for us, in our place as a substitute for us, Jesus has paid the death penalty for everyone who will accept His payment for themselves. By shedding His own blood for us, He makes us clean. "and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7b KJV) Whatever things you have done wrong in your entire life, Jesus can wipe them away completely. Why has God done this for us? Why has He made it so easy for us to get out of all guilt and sin? Because He loves us, and He gave His Son Jesus to die for us, so that we could be free. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 KJV) If you are not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, then you have not yet accepted His full payment for all your sin. Your guilt still remains on you. Jesus wants to be your Saviour. He wants to pay for all your sin and remove all your guilt, now and forever. All you have to do is accept His offer to be your personal Lord and Saviour, placing His Holy Spirit into your heart to guide you in all things. You can do this right now, using this prayer. If you pray this prayer out loud, sincerely, understanding what it says and agreeing with it, Jesus will come into your heart as Lord, and you will then be a saved person, a Christian. You will have met the conditions set forth in Romans 10:9. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV) So here is the prayer . . . "Personal Prayer Of Salvation" O Lord, I know that You are waiting here, For me to let You come into my life. I know that You are knocking on my door, And now I pray that You will enter in. I pray that You will come into my life, As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me. I know that You are truly Son of God, I know that You have risen from the dead, I know that only You can save my soul. I need Your guidance, and I need Your love; I want to follow everywhere You lead. I truly do repent of all my sins; I feel remorse for evil I have done; I know that only You can make me clean. I turn my back on sin and look to You. I am forgiving all who did me harm, As You are now forgiving all my sins. And now as I commit myself to You, I pray that You commit yourself to me. I pray that You will take me as I am, And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms. In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen. <>< If you have now accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord, you are a Christian. Simple as that! Congratulations on your new life with Him! Your sin is gone. Your guilt is gone. Already, His Holy Spirit has begun to move into your heart, to dwell with you and teach you and lead you and comfort you forever.
