Gods word the Bible says:
Romans 3:23

John 3: 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself
We are declared right with God by believeing in the name of his son:
Acts 3:19

ct that you are sinful and turning to God.
if you want this with your whole heart then pray this prayer
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
Have you accepted Jesus?
