Saying Yes! to Jesus If you have questions or would like to have a conversation with one of our pastors please feel free to contact them below: yes@myriversidechurch.com 763-263-2410

CONGRATULATIONS You are at the beginning of an incredible journey that will change your life forever. The decision to say Yes! to Jesus, and to trust him to lead and direct your life, is the most important decision you will ever make. That s why we ve created this book, to help you get off to a great start on that journey. Right now, you re probably excited but still have a lot of questions. Hopefully this book will help you answer many of those questions and give you a few resources to help you grow and learn on your own. Remember though, you are not on this journey alone. Feel free to call on our pastors when you have questions. We re praying for you as you begin your new life as a follower of Jesus.

Yes! If you said Yes! to Jesus, then God has forgiven you. He has made you His child. He has come into your life you are a new person in Christ! Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun. - 2 Corinthians 5:17 He said he would do this for you, and God never breaks a promise. Look at these two promises God has given to you...

When we say Yes! to Jesus, the Bible tells us that God gives us eternal life. This new and eternal life is only accessed through His son Jesus Christ Here is the witness. God has give us eternal life. That life is found in his son. - 1 John 5:11 We are friends with God and have a wonderful new relationship with him all because of His grace and what Jesus has done for us. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. - Romans 5:11 God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. - Ephesians 2:8-9 If you have prayed and said, Yes! to Jesus, mark your choice by signing your name and dating right here: /

IF YOU HAVEN T ASKED JESUS TO FORGIVE ALL OF YOUR SINS AND TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN DO THAT RIGHT NOW THROUGH PRAYER...

Here is a simple prayer you can pray if you want to say Yes! to Jesus: Dear God, I admit that I have sinned. Thank you for loving me anyway. I believe you love me so much you sent Jesus to die in my place, on the cross, to pay for all of my sins. I believe Jesus also rose from the grave and that He is alive today. I turn to you and away from my way of doing things. Please come into my life. Thank you for saving me and giving me a new life with you. Amen.

By saying Yes! to Jesus, we are admitting that we need His sacrifice and death to be saved from the final consequences of our sin. Sin has a way of destroying relationships. Because of our sin, our relationship with God has been broken. But when we say Yes! to Jesus he reconnects us to God, and because of Jesus, this relationship can never be broken again! For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 6:23

Yes! If you said Yes! to Jesus, then God has forgiven you. He has made you His child. He has come into your life you are a new person in Christ! Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun. - 2 Corinthians 5:17 He said he would do this for you, and God never breaks a promise. Look at these two promises God has given to you...

For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16
