Know Jesus

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you can do it today by simply confessing your need for a Savior, acknowledging your sin and asking for Christ to cleanse you and make you whole. If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Do not delay!
