Salvation is a free gift from God; there are no strings attached. He loves you no matter what you have done in your past. He loved you before you were born!
The Bible is full of people, like you, that lived a life that was sinful and sometimes, very bad. Nothing is so bad that God would turn you away. He is waiting on you to give your life over to him. He wants to bless your life. He wants to spend eternity with you.
The only thing he asks is that you Love Him with all your heart. The rest of your life will change as a result of loving him.
Prayer of Salvation.
Father in Heaven, I come to you through the name of Jesus, who died on the cross for me. In your Word you say, "Whoever calls on the name of Lord shall be saved". (Acts2:21) So now I am calling for you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, forget my past, and give me a home, with you for eternity, in heaven. Romans 10:9 says, "If you confess with your mouth that 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved". Thank you, Lord for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen!
If you said this prayer then your name has been written in the Book of Life. You are now an adopted child and heir of God.

What do I do now?
It is a good idea to start reading the Bible. Don't be afraid of reading it. Try looking at "Bible Gateway" on the internet. Select a version that is easy to read like: The New Living Translation and the Amplified Bible.
You don't have to be afraid of making mistakes, because all new believer's do. You have forgiveness.
It is a good idea for you to seek out a church that believes and studies the Holy Bible. This will help encourage you and help you grow as a follower of Christ. It isn't hard and you don't have to become a saint or a monk. God just wants you to love him, love others as Jesus did.
Being a Christian doesn't mean you have to be poor, sick, or dull. When you read the Bible you will see that being a Christian is fun, exciting and joyful.
Congratulations on your new life!
