Jesus Christ came to earth about 2000 years ago. Through birth He became flesh so He could live with us, even though He was the Son of God.
Jesus did and said many amazing things during His lifetime. He taught the smartest men of His day more about God and truth than they could even understand. Jesus was so close to God that when He prayed, He called God "Abba," which means "Papa" or "Daddy" in the Hebrew language.
Jesus taught that God had sent Him here to take the punishment for the
sins of the whole world -- your sins and mine. He said that He was the
Only Way that God had provided to pay for our sins. At the age of 33, Jesus
allowed an angry crowd to hang Him on a cross and put nails in His hands
and feet. He took all the hurt and pain for us and died.
If that were all that Jesus did, then He would be remembered as a good man. But that is not all! Jesus Christ was buried and then He came back to life after 3 days to prove that He was the Son of the Most High God that can give us eternal life!
During His lifetime, Jesus showed His special love for children. And God
made His plan for forgiveness easy enough for a child to understand. If
you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Only True God and that
He died for your sins, and you would like to have His Spirit live in your
heart, you may say something like this to God and invite Him in:
"Hello, Jesus. I know that I do wrong things sometimes and I want to thank you for coming to die for my sins. I do believe that you are the Son of God and that you love me and died for me. Please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart to live. Please help me to live for you. Thank you for loving me."
If you have just said this prayer to God and meant it will all of your heart, you are a new creation in Christ. The Holy Spirit now lives inside of you and Jesus is now your best friend. Like any best friend, He wants to spend time with you. It would be a good idea to talk to Him every day and let Him talk to you through reading God's Word, The Holy Bible.
