Salvation Prayer - The Cornerstone is Christ?
What do I do to get "saved?"
"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)
"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)
Salvation Prayer - Back to Basics
To be born again you must confess Jesus as Lord and believe that
He is. Then you ask Him into your heart and your life as your Lord.
Salvation Prayer - The Simple Steps:
1. Acknowledge in your heart that Jesus is Lord. (and this
is not of yourself)
2. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.
3. Believe that Jesus died for your sins
and is the son of God.
4. Repent of your sins and get baptized in the name of Jesus.
Salvation Prayer - Merely a Tool to Communicate Our 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.
- Get baptized as commanded
by Christ.
- Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
- Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of talking/praying
to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
- Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support
you.
- Find a good bible foundation local church where you can worship God and fellowship.
