Welcome to CC
Here's a short video for you, explaining the Good News. The prayer at the end is a guide. If you truly mean the prayer with all your heart when you say it then you will be saved.
We're all born into the world physically but we're spiritually separated from God at birth because of sin. This is why we're all born lost and not in a relationship with God from the beginning, not knowing Him. We have to reconnect with God before we die because once we're dead it's too late, there's no second chances after death. We have to reach out to Him in this life. He's given us free will to accept or reject Him.
God's made a way for us, through Jesus. God became flesh, He became the man, Jesus. Amazing that He would take on flesh because He loves us and wants to help us, to teach us how to live. This was a great way to communicate with us, not to mention, He was to be the final sacrifice for our sins. Jesus was perfect and seen as spotless so only He could pay the wage of our sins on the cross because we are all sinners and are not perfect so nothing we could do could save us or pay the wage for our sins, only Jesus could do that. It's through Him that we can be saved.
God has promised that whoever calls on the name of Jesus will be saved. We don't have to do anything and we can't, it's all been done for us. Jesus died a horrible death on the cross, He was the final sacrifice for our sins and whoever calls on His name can be forgiven of their sins, wiped clean and become a child of God. You need to ask for forgiveness, acknowledging what Jesus has done.
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"
Matthew 7:7-8: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened"
