Say Yes! to Jesus

Saying Yes! to Jesus is very simple and, at the same time, is very profound. As Pastor Wayne Cordeiro often says, it is the most eternal decision you will ever make. Saying Yes! starts with a person's desire to know God in a personal way. The Bible says that we can be in God's family, adopted as His sons and daughters; like any parent, He wants to be a part of your life.

Once you know your heart is turning to God and you want that relationship to be strong, saying Yes! is as simple as making that declaration. The Bible says it this way - "If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, you will be saved." Very simple.

Saying Yes! means you acknowledge that you have fallen short of righteousness and God's example of holiness; we call that sin. Then, you believe and confess (say) that Jesus paid for all sins by His death on the cross, and you want His payment to be applied to your life. You have repented (changed your mind, turned and started going back toward God), confessed and believed. That's all it takes to become a child of God, a part of God's family. It is the beginning of a lifelong journey to become more like God, to love Him fully and to live the life you were created to have. Welcome to the family of God!
