You can begin again with Jesus

Listen to the invitation · 2:53

Maybe something you read or heard today has stirred your heart.

Maybe you have been searching for God.
Maybe life has brought you to a place where you know you need Him.
Or maybe, for the first time, you simply sense Jesus calling you to come to Him.

You can come to Him just as you are.

You do not need to fix your life first.
You do not need to become good enough.
You do not need to have everything figured out.

Jesus said:

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 (BSB)

Why do I need Jesus?

The Bible tells us that God created us for relationship with Him, but sin has separated us from Him.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Romans 3:23 (BSB)

None of us can repair that separation by being good enough, religious enough, or trying harder.

So God did for us what we could never do for ourselves.

He sent His Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus lived the life we could not live. He died on the cross for our sins, taking upon Himself the judgment we deserved. And on the third day, He rose from the dead.

Because of Jesus, forgiveness is available.

Because of Jesus, you can be reconciled to God.

Because of Jesus, your past does not have to determine your future.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 (BSB)

Jesus is inviting you to come

Salvation is not something you earn.

It is God's gift.

The Bible says:

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Acts 16:31 (BSB)

And:

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:13 (BSB)

To come to Christ means turning from a life lived apart from God and placing your trust in Jesus Christ — in who He is and in what He has done for you through His death and resurrection.

If that is the desire of your heart today, you can respond to Him right now.

There are no magic words you have to say. God sees your heart.

The prayer below does not save you. Jesus saves. The prayer simply gives you words to express repentance, faith and trust in Him.

A prayer to receive Christ

Listen and say this after me · 1:32

Heavenly Father,

I come to You just as I am.

I know that I have sinned and that I cannot save myself. I believe that You love me and that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins.

I believe that Jesus died for me and rose again.

Today, I turn to You. I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Forgive me, make me new, and lead my life from this day forward.

Jesus, I belong to You.

Thank You for receiving me. Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You for giving me new life.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

If this is your decision today

Listen to the rest of this page · 1:20

If you have sincerely turned to Jesus Christ and placed your trust in Him today, we would be honored to help you take your first steps with Him.

The button below is not what saves you. Your salvation rests in Jesus Christ and what He has done for you.

Tapping it simply tells Daily Pastures:

“Yes. I have made this decision today, and I want help learning how to follow Jesus.”

Tapping this simply lets Daily Pastures walk with you through the next seven days. Your trust in Christ is what matters.

Not ready yet?

That is okay.

You do not need to press a button because you feel pressured or emotional.

You are welcome to keep exploring, asking questions, reading Scripture and learning about Jesus.

When you are ready to place your trust in Him, this invitation will still be here.

What happens next?

After you tap “I Gave My Life to Christ Today,” Daily Pastures will invite you into Beginning With Jesus — a free 7-day journey designed to help you understand your new life in Christ and begin walking with Him.

Over seven short days, you will learn about:

  • What it means to belong to Jesus
  • Your new identity as a child of God
  • Knowing God through His Word
  • Prayer
  • The Holy Spirit
  • Christian community and baptism
  • How to continue following Jesus for a lifetime

Beginning With Jesus is free and does not require a Daily Pastures+ subscription.

And if you already use Daily Pastures for personalized devotionals, those devotionals can continue alongside the 7-day journey.

One last thing

Whatever brought you to this page, remember:

Jesus Christ did not ask you to clean yourself up before coming to Him. He asked you to come.

Your hope is not in how perfectly you can follow Him.

Your hope is in the One you are following.

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

John 6:37 (BSB)
