What Does It Mean to Say Yes to Jesus?
Pray with your own words, or try these:
God, thank You for the gift of salvation: saving me from myself and bringing me into a healing relationship with You. Use Your love to shape me today, in the coming weeks, and for the rest of my life. I’m trusting You to make me new. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Christians finish prayers in Jesus’ name because this is one of the ways Jesus told us to pray.
We’re able to connect with God on a first-name basis because of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. And we need this kind of connection if we’re going to live our lives His way and become more like Him.
Jesus lived His life with integrity. He loved His enemies, pushed back against injustice, and welcomed people that
culture rejected.
After we say yes to Jesus, we start the lifelong process of following Him. So, over time, we begin taking on those same traits. In fact, when Jesus summed up all of the commandments in the Bible, He asked us to love God with all we are and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
