How do I get Jesus to Help Me? Why would He want to?

How You Can Know God's Love

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
We hear Jesus say, "God so loved the world." God's love has no limitations. He loves us more than we can imagine. He loves everyone - not just a few.

“For whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13 You have God’s promise.Romans 3:10 “As it is written, there is none righteous, not even one…”
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

This verse tells us that all people have sinned. We have fallen short of God's intended purpose for us. God made us to know Him, to receive His love and to love him in return. We can choose to love ourselves and turn to our selfish pursuits. That is sin. In our sin we cannot know God and His love. 
The result of sin is that we are lost, separated from God.

Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Wages are just payment, what is owed to us, because of labor. The just payment for our sin is death. Death here means spiritual insensitivity. When we are still in our sin, we have no life with God. We are alive physically but dead spiritually. If we continue in that condition, we will be separated from God for all eternity.
How can God remain true to His holiness and forgive unholy sinners? 
Because Jesus, His Son, has paid the price for sin by His death on the cross.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 tells us that God loved us so that "when we were in our sin Jesus Christ came to die for us."
Romans 10:9-10 “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confesses, resulting in salvation.”

A person receives God's free gift of love and life by placing faith in Jesus Christ. To believe is simply to take God at His word. With our heart (whole believing) we believe that Jesus is God's Son who died for our sin on the cross and arose from the grave to live in us as Savior and Lord.

Romans 10:13 “For whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”

This verse says that any person, who will call upon the name of Jesus, the Lord, shall be saved. 
To call means simply to ask in prayer. The verse does not require one to know more, do better; clean up their life, or in any way try to add to what Jesus has done for us.

Will you now call upon Jesus to save you from your sin so that you can know God's love and forgiveness?

Pray like this: "Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I am sorry. I need a Savior. I know I cannot save myself. I believe by faith that Jesus, your Son, died on the cross to be my Savior. I believe He arose from the grave to live as my Lord. I turn from my sin. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to forgive my sin and come into my heart. I trust you as my Savior and receive you as my Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me."

When anyone calls on the Lord in this manner, that one is saved according to God's Word. If you pray a prayer of repentance and faith, you are saved. You have God's word on it.
