Salvation Prayer Prayer to be Saved
“For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved” Romans 10:13. “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.
Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me."
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me" John 14:6. One way. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. How to do this knowing that good deeds can't save you? Know that faith in Jesus can save you.
"For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
First know that "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23. So, everyone is in the same boat.
Lord God in Jesus name (we pray to God in the name of his son Jesus) I need you because I have fallen short and am a sinner. I am sorry for my sins, I will do my best to sin no more (we all fall short) and know that Only You can take the sin away. I know your son Jesus Christ died in payment of my sin and rose again.
"If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
I invite You Lord Jesus into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. You are now Saved. Born Again is deeper than this.
John 3:14-17
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus speaks of Baptism in John 3:5
5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit." Letting the "old you" die off and replace with a walk with Jesus.
Accept the Holy Spirit and give your life to God "letting Jesus take the wheel" through prayer, reading the Bible, and following through with the instruction found therein.
If you are led to read Jesus words first, choose one of the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. These all tell the timeline of Jesus by different authors. I liked Luke best but each have different inclusions, so read one, then read another until all four are read. Or just read Luke and then Acts to get a bigger picture.
Luke was a Gentile and physician who focused on the reader.
Mark conveyed the power of the messiah Jesus.
Matthew was a tax collector (kind of like the stigma of a pushy salesman today or lower) who focused on historical and prophetic Jesus.
John represented the Spiritual Jesus.
Even though Luke is a favorite there are many verses from the others of great importance. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Closer 2 Jesus
God Bless =)
