Pray with
me saying:
"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."
If
you've prayed this prayer of salvation with true conviction and
heart, you are now a follower of Jesus. This is a fact, whether or not
you feel any different. Religious systems may have led you to believe
that you should feel something - a warm glow, a tingle, or some other
mystical experience. The fact is, you may, or you may not. If you have
prayed the prayer of salvation and meant it, you are now a follower of
Jesus. The Bible tells us that your eternal salvation is secure! "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)
Welcome to the family of God! I encourage you now to find a local
church where you can be baptized and grow in the knowledge of God
through His Word, the Bible, to study the Bible, meet and fellowship
with others, and spread The Word.
