Know Jesus
God loves you! He really loves you and doesn't want to be apart from you. However, as long as we live in sin and turn from God, we are separated from Him. Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
The good news is that He provided you with a way to be reconciled with Him. He gave his Son, Jesus Christ, as the way to the one true relationship with your Father in heaven. John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
It's incredible. We are all saved by His Grace. His mercy. His love for everyone. God wants to meet you today, now. He wants to give you a new start through Christ. A new life in Him!
All you need to do is pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust you and follow you as Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen.
If you prayed this, the Bible says in Romans 10:13: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:16-20 : "Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'"
