It wasn't nails that held Jesus to the cross, but His love for you. It was not adrenaline that kept Him alive while his flesh was literally torn off of Him during the scourging before the cross, but His determination to set you free from sin and from eternal death. He offers the salvation that he earned on the cross to anyone who will believe in Him and accept the salvation He offers. If you would like to take Him up on His offer of eternal life with the Father, then speak these words before the heavens and the earth:

Father, Your Word, which is Your Will, says in Romans 10:9-10 that, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” I understand that the wage for my sin is death, and that you Jesus died in my place to pay that price. I thank you for allowing yourself to be bruised for my iniquity and chastised for my peace. Now Jesus, I give you my sin, my failure, my shame, my guilt and fear, and I take your righteousness, your peace, and your salvation. Thank you for giving it to me. I choose this day to live the life I was created to live and do the work that I was created to do. Use my talents Father, to accomplish Your Will. Show me what Your Will is for my life, and help me to be obedient to do it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

If you just said that prayer with your lips, believing in your heart what Jesus did for you, then you are now a Christian. Jesus has entered your heart, and you will begin to hear and discern the voice of the Holy Spirit more and more. Please give us a call so that we can give you more information on how to live as a born-again Christian!
