Accepting Jesus is like a starting a new life. The bible says
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

before going ahead let me tell you about this new life. Its actually the life that you spen all on this earth after accepting Christ in you life. This life is filled with joy and power. Its a Born again Life.

When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth

 If you read John 3:1-8 in there it says Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again".

So to start a new born again life, we need to have Christ in our lives and it can only happen through recieving him. Look below in detail

How do people become “saved” and “born again” Christians? How can you receive eternal life so that you will be sure to go to be with God when you die? A widely distributed Christian tract says the following is what the Bible requires.

1. Admit that you are a sinner.
   The Bible says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:230).
2. Know that God has already provided for your salvation.
   “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son [Jesus Christ] that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
3. Know that you cannot save yourself.
   “Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us” (Titus 3:5).
4. Repent of your sins. “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).

5. Ask Jesus to save you.
   “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13) and “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

6. Proclaim Jesus before others.
   “If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9, 10).

You can be joyously “saved” and “born again” and receive eternal life right NOW, as millions of people worldwide have, when you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. Born-again Christians overwhelmingly look at their salvation as the most exciting event in their lives.
