PRAYER OF SALVATION
Prayer of Salvation
God's greatest gift to us is
salvation through the obedient act of His Son Jesus Christ.
And through this salvation, we receive many benefits and blessings
from God, the greatest being eternal life in God's presence.
Salvation is a gift that God makes available to all who believe and
confess Jesus as his/her Lord and Savior.
"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).
Does being saved mean that you are
perfect? Absolutely not! However, you are forgiven, and you
strive to be more like Christ everyday.
Prayer to Receive
Jesus . . .
Almighty Father,
I know and acknowledge that I am a sinner.
I repent, right now, of all my sins, and I am asking you to forgive
me. You said in your Word, "Whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13). And so, I am calling on
the name of your Son, Jesus, to come into my heart and be my Savior.
You also said, ". . . 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). I believe with my heart that
Jesus died for my sins and was raised from the dead so that I may
have eternal life. I confess Him, right now, as my Lord.
In the name of Jesus I submit this prayer.
Amen.
Afterthought
Now that you have prayed the prayer of
salvation, know that you have made the best decision one can make.
I encourage you to seek out a Christ-centered, God-fearing,
Bible-believing church to cultivate your new found faith.
