The Prayer of Salvation
- We confess our past life of sin -- living for ourselves and not obeying God.
- We admit we are ready to trust Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
- We ask Jesus to come into our heart, take up residence there, and begin living through us.
Salvation’s starting point; beginning with faith in God:
When we pray the prayer of salvation, we're letting God know we believe His Word is true. By the faith He has given us, we choose to believe in Him. The Bible tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)
The importance and need to confess our sins:
When we pray the prayer of salvation, we're admitting that we've sinned. As the Bible says of everyone, save Christ alone: "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) To confess our sins, we are admitting to God that we need Him to wash them all away and that we want to start fresh.
Jesus Christ came to be the Savior of the World – your Savior!
In order for God to reconcile the world back to Him, He needed someone to take all of the world’s sins on Himself so that we could have access to our Father through a perfect sacrifice, so He sent His Son to die for us and pay the eternal price. "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.." (John 3:16)
Don’t wait any longer to pray that prayer that will set you on a new life with Jesus Christ! Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans not to harm you, but to give you a future and a hope.”
So what are you waiting for? Pray this prayer with us and start new…You will never regret it!
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I repent and want to be made new. I need Your forgiveness and I need Your help to live a life that’s right and pleasing to You. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and I now have eternal life through Him. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to help me become the person You created me to be. I receive Your Holy Spirit to help guide me into all truth and to help me know You better.
I pray this with my whole heart, Amen.”
