Prayer of Salvation - Our First Real Conversation With God
The "prayer of salvation" is the most important prayer we'll ever pray. When we're ready to become a Christian, we're ready to have our first real conversation with God, and these are its components:
-
We acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God; that He came to earth as a man in order to live the sinless life that we cannot live; that He died in our place, so that we would not have to pay the penalty we deserve.
-
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.
You can pray the following prayer right now to ask God to come into your heart so you can receive the new birth. Old things pass away and all things become new in Christ.
REPEAT THIS PRAYER "Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
