With God’s help, I can acknowledge and turn from my sins, receive the gift of God’s grace in Jesus Christ, and embrace the new life he freely gives me. [One way to do this is by sincerely praying in the way described in the “Turning to Christ” section above.] (Psalm 86:1-7; Joel 2:32; Acts 16:30-34; Romans 10:11-13; Hebrews 12:1-2)

Question 12: What does it mean for you to have Faith?

To have faith means that I believe the Gospel is the truth: that Jesus died for my sins, rose from the dead, and rules over my life. Therefore, I entrust myself to him as my Savior, and I obey him as my Lord.

Question 11: What does it mean for you to Repent?

Question 10: How should you respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

As soon as I receive and believe the Gospel, I should repent of my sins, put faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord, and prepare to be baptized. “Now is the day of salvation.” (Psalm 32; Isaiah 55:6-7; Acts 2:37-39; 2 Corinthians 6:2) | Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8:26-40 | St. John Chrysostom on 2 Cor. 6:2 | G.K.
