How To Receive Christ

How to receive Him
In any gift exchange, there has to be giver and receiver. God has already given us the gift, His Son; now we must receive Him. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).
We receive Him by faith. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).
We receive Him by personal invitation, (Christ speaking) “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20). Do you hear His voice?
The following is a suggested prayer: “Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins to save me from eternal death. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. I give you my life. Help me to be what you want me to be. Amen.”
