The Sinner's Prayer
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9, that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
I now confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, I am saved.
Help me to remain faithful to You all the days of my life in order that I may receive a crown of righteousness and dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Thank you, Jesus!
Amen.
Here's how you can receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior:
1. Know that God loves you...
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
2. Admit your need. (I am a sinner).
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
3. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
Acts 3:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out."
4. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love toward us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
5. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ into your heart. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)
Romans 10:9 "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."
If you would like to be a follower Jesus, pray this prayer:
