Read about it
Read: John 5:24–30
The most important decision you will ever make is choosing to follow Jesus and asking Him to forgive your sins. That’s because everyone will stand before Jesus someday. Bible verses like John 5:28–29 tell us this. Jesus will ask each person if they believed in and followed Him. That means He will ask you, too! What’s your answer?
Jesus said that those who believe in God will live eternally with Him. They will live doing good things because they know and love God. When they die, they will live with Him forever in heaven. God loves us so much that He has given us the choice to accept His gift of salvation. What will you choose? No one can choose for you. Your parents can’t, your pastor can’t, only you can. God can help you make the right choice. Just ask Him!
