Salvation Prayer - Back to Basics
The Salvation Prayer is merely a road to rebirth in Jesus Christ. To be
born again you must confess Jesus as Lord and believe that He is. When
you ask Him into your heart, you are allowing Him to be the Lord of your
life. Salvation takes place when a person listens to the salvation message,
believes it, and makes a decision to receive Jesus into his or her heart.
The Salvation Prayer is not a ritual based on specific words. This is
not the power of a prayer, but the power of truly committing our lives
to Christ as Savior and Lord. The following is merely a guideline for
our sincere step of faith:
"God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until
now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong.
I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed
work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at
Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available
to me through this sacrifice.
Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king,
my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled
by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the
days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus' precious
and holy name. Amen."
If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today,
welcome to God's family!
Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on
our commitment.
1. Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
2. Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
3. Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period
of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His
Word.
4. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
5. Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing
friends to answer your questions and support you.
