PRAYER OF SALVATION |
 |
God puts within all of us a void that only
can be filled with Him. He created us to have fellowship with Him.
|
|
Because of man's sin, our sin, we have been
separated from God.
|
|
God made a way for us to be reconciled back
to Him, to be saved from our sin.
|
|
He sent his son Jesus to be the bridge from
us back to God.
|
Jesus
was asked, "WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?"
"Jesus
answered and said to him, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born
again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.'"
(John 3:3)

1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes
in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16)
But the
problem is this ...
|
|
2. We have all done, said or thought things that are
wrong.
This is called sin and it separates us from God.
The Bible says, “All have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) God is perfect and
holy, and
our sins separate us from God forever.
The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23)
The good
news is, God made a way ...

|
3. God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to die for our
sins. Jesus is the
Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the
penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates
His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus rose
from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the
gift of eternal life -- of living
forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except by Me." (John 14:6)
"That if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
(Romans 10:9)
God reaches
out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received
Him, to them He gave the right to
become children of God, even to those who believe on His name."
(John 1:12)
You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to
forgive your sins, come into your life, and become your Savior and Lord.

If you
want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and turn from
your sins,
you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying
a prayer like this:
Heavenly Father, I confess to you right now
that I am a sinner, and I am asking you to please forgive me of all my sins.
I acknowledge your son
Jesus as the Son of God, and I receive Him personally as my savior.
I ask YOU, JESUS to come into
my life, forgive me of all my sins, and take control of my life.
I ask you Lord to fill me with your
Holy Spirit and guide me in all my ways.
I totally surrender myself to you. I ask for Your will to be done in my
life.
Help me to turn my life
around and please head me in the right direction.
I will serve you the rest
of my life.
Thank you Lord for forgiving my sins, for
making me your child, and for bringing me into your kingdom.
I pray all of this in the Name of Jesus,
Amen
