Jesus took our place on the cross.  He wants you to accept that perfect sacrifice as a gift that He made for you.  The bible tells us that "we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus"  when we accept Jesus Christ into our heart because of His sacrifice.  That literally means:  Jesus put us in right standing with God the Father. 

Now, when Father God looks at us He sees Jesus and not our unworthy selves or past.  He wants to be involved with every second of our life through giving Him your heart, loving Him and walking with Him.  He will lead you, guide you into all truth and show you the best pathway for your life.  After all, He created you, put your personality in you, put your talents and abilities in you. Why would He not know the direction, the path, the things and ways that will best cause you to be a success in life and to be happy?  The bible is like the manual that you get with your car or other things that you buy, and it will tell you how to make a success out of your life.  Who would not want to be a success?

You can pray right now.  "Father, I want to know you.  I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins.  I invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart as my savior, and to be Lord of my life. I want a clean heart.  Please forgive me of my sins and cleanse my heart from all unrighteousness.  Help me to become like you in my actions, thoughts and heart.  Thank  you for dying on the cross for me, Lord.  In your name I ask, Amen." 

When you accept Jesus Christ His Holy Spirit comes to live in you.  Now, the Holy Spirit can begin to bring changes in your heart and life as you yield to Him.  We are all human and all make mistakes, but with the Lord's guidance we can become more like Him through studying His word, fellowshipping with other Christians, and praying on a daily basis.  We pray that your new walk will grow in abundance daily.
