Well, here we are! Peace and blessings to you!
Maybe a slightly unusual start, I know ... But enough of this and let's start!
My name is Katia and I started writing this book as a teenager.
In this book I would like to tell you about my testimony and how I came to the truth: Jesus. I hope this book can help you and touch your heart through the light of the Lord; If He does, it's all His doing.
But before we begin, I will make this premise in which I will tell you about salvation.
«for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God» Romans 3:23
«For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.» Romans 6:23
Jesus said: «I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.» Luke 13:3
«For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.» John 3:16
John 14:6 «Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."»
Romans 10:9 «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.»
1 John 1:9 «If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.»
List of Bible verses about Sins:
1 Corinthians 6: 9-10; 2 Corinthians 12:20; Romans 1: 24-27 and 29-32; Galatians 5: 19-21; Ephesians 5: 3; 1 Peter 4: 3; Revelation 21: 8
Prayer for sinners:
Lord, I know I'm a sinner and need a Savior. I want to forsake my sins and follow you. I repent of my sins, please forgive me. Cleanse me of my past, make me new. I believe your son, Jesus, died for me, and you raised him from the dead; I accept Jesus into my heart as Lord and Savior. Thank you for your grace, which saved me from my sins, and gave me eternal life. Give me your Holy Spirit to guide me and help me do your will. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
P.S.: It is not so much important what we pray in this case, but how we pray, understanding that we are sinners and need a savior. If our heart is truly repentant before God and we truly believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, He will forgive and save us from our sins.
Word meanings:
• Repentance: change in the way of thinking, a radical transformation of the person, who renounces his own wrong habits to adopt a new behavior and perspective, in conformity with God's will.
• Only Begotten Son: Son of only one kind, that is one of a kind.
