My Contract with Jesus Christ

Romans 10-9

"That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved."

Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me, and was raised from the dead. I believe you are alive today to save me from my sins. I here and now open the door to my heart. Come into my life and forgive my sins and save me. I receive you into my life right now.
