Salvation, It’s Elementary

Each week I have an opportunity to go on an outreach in my community to invite people to my church. Sometimes I get to tell them how they can know for sure they can get to heaven. Some people call this evangelism. One very important thing to know before doing this is if YOU have trusted Jesus as your Savior yet. This month I would like to share with you how Lady Olivia made her decision. In her story you’ll learn how easy it is to teach a young girl how to accept Jesus as their Savior. It’s a wonderful way to share His love with those who may be too young to even read yet.

I have always known about Jesus. My mom says that His name was actually
one of my first words! When I was a toddler, or so, my mom would sing songs to me like “Jesus Loves Me” or she and dad would tell me all kinds of stories about Him. But there was definitely a time in my life when I
really wanted to know God, not just know about Him.
I wanted to know Him personally, but first I had to:

1. Admit I was a sinner and was in need of God.
2. Believe that Jesus died and rose again for my sins.
3. Confess Jesus as Lord of my life.

It was as easy as ABC and because I was only six and learning my
alphabet and how to read, this was an easy way to understand how to be
saved. Now, I pray to Him every day by just talking to Him. I praise Him every
night which means I like to sing to Him before I go to bed.
He is always there when I need Him, like when I have problems at school
with friends. He also helps me when I take a test or have to make a
speech. Jesus is real to me. I am sure glad I know Him. You can get
to know Him too. ~Lady Olivia
