But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only... James 1:22

what every teen needs to know
What every teen needs to know.  Here's the facts:
  • God is a holy God - "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." I Peter 1:16
  • You are a sinner, separated from God because of your sin - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
  • The result of being a sinner is to be eternally separated from God in hell - "For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23
  • God loves you and wants a relationship with you - "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (payment) for our sins." I John 4:10
  • Jesus is the only way that you can have that relationship with God - "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
  • You must make a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior - "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." Romans 10:9-11 "...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..." Acts 16:31
It doesn't matter if you are a member of a church, if you are a good person, if you give money to charity, if you have been baptized, or if you do the best you can.  If you have never trust Jesus Christ as your savior, than you do not have a relationship with God.
  • Are you willing to admit that you are a sinner?
  • Do you want forgiveness for your sins?
  • Do you believe that Jesus Christ died and the cross for you and rose again?
  • Are you willing to surrender your life to Christ?
  • Are you ready to invite Jesus into your heart and into your life?
If the answer to these questions is "yes" then you can pray something like this:
"Heavenly Father, I have sinned against you. I want forgiveness for all my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. I give you my life to do with as you wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen."
