If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.
Genesis 4:7 NIV

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 NIV

 Those mistakes are sin, and the punishment for sin is Hell. But God has provided a way to obtain eternal life.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
John 3:16-18 NIV

 God sent Jesus Christ to save the world from Hell. We obtain that gift of grace through our faith in Jesus.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 NIV

 This gift was made even though we don't deserve it because of God's love for us.

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
Matthew 28:5-6 NIV

 Jesus died on the cross and three days later He rose from the grave.

In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
John 3:3 NIV

 To be born again we must confess our sins to God and believe that His Son, Jesus, died on the cross and rose again for us. Then by the blood of Jesus we are washed clean and made new.

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9 NIV

If you feel God's call on your life then the following prayer can express your desire to be a child of God. This is a commitment and can not be made simply as a "just in case" safety measure.

"God, I know I am a sinner deserving death. I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross. That He rose from the grave three days later. Lord thank You for doing this for me. I ask You to forgive me of my sins. I want You to come into my heart and take control of my life. In Jesus' name, amen."

 If you have just made this commitment to Jesus and truly meant it then you are now a child of God. As new born believer the Lord would like you to get to know Him better.
