²⁰ So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

²¹ For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

We are naturally--since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden (Genesis)--full of pride. We want to do and have things the way our flesh (soul--mind, will, and emotions) wants. 

It is an act of humility to trust the LORD--especially God, Whom (normally) we cannot see. 

Your life will never be properly prosperous nor protected, until you choose Christ Jesus as Savior and LORD.  He is good, and all good. He loves you! He is Love (I John 4:8), and all He wants to do is bless and help and protect and guide and amaze you!

He is the perfect Father! No matter how good yours has been, He's better! His Son, Jesus will be your Best Friend Forever, and your Heavenly Lawyer, your Defender, your Spirit Guide, Your Financier, and everything else you need!

There is great wisdom and peace, satisfaction and joy, in allowing Another--the LORD Jesus Christ--to be the strong one.  None of us are strong, compared to Him!

He alone is God, and He alone can help you in all the ways you need and want help. He is your Help and your Shield, when you trust Him.

He--the Great God of Heaven and earth; Elohim, Who created everything (including you and me!) in all three realms, and created them to be and stay good,  is so gracious that He makes it very simple: Just be bold to ask Him to save you! 

If you are ready, you can simply pray this prayer out loud:

Dear LORD Jesus,  

Thank You that You chose to die on the cross and shed Your pure blood, to cleanse me and all people from our sins! I believe You did this, and for me. I ask You to forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart and cleanse me, and be my Savior and LORD. Make me Yours! I want to know You, and go to Heaven when my body dies. Please take my life and do something with it for Your Kingdom!

I renounce satan and his works, and choose to follow You, LORD Jesus. Thank You, and I receive You now! 

Now, if you just said this prayer out loud and meant it, the King of Heaven has made you His child! Jesus is now your Savior and LORD! The angels are having a party in Heaven over you!

Even so, I tell you, there is joy among and in the presence of the  angels of God over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind for the better, heartily amending his ways, with abhorrence of his past sins).--Luke 15:10, AMPC

Now, You have the Favor (Grace, Blessing) of the LORD of all! You are no longer a sinner against God, but a saint, and now part of the Royal Family of Jehovah! Hallelujah! 

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—John 1:12, AMPC

Now, get a Holy Bible, ask the LORD to lead you to a Bible-believing church (that means both the Old AND the New Testaments!), and to teach you to pray (just talk to Him, although there are different types of prayer), and to worship Him in Spirit and truth. He will!

Congratulations on making THE best decision of your life!
