Receive Jesus As Lord
What Is Salvation and Why Do I Need It?
When the first created man, Adam, sinned against God, he plunged all of humanity into an eternally separated state from God. The Bible teaches that his act of high treason and disobedience in the Garden of Eden brought spiritual death to all. God, in His incredible mercy and love, desires us to spend eternity with Him in Heaven and put into motion a plan for our redemption before He laid the earth’s foundations. To restore our relationship with Him, God sent His only Son, Jesus, to bridge that separation and legally reconcile us to Himself, making things just as before Adam sinned. Our restored connection with God through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is a free gift called “salvation” or “justification” from sins we receive by believing in our hearts and confessing with our mouths. Would you accept this gift of reconciliation and eternal life with God?
​
If your answer is “yes,” you can pray the following prayer aloud to receive this gift and allow Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.
Prayer for Salvation
Dear God,
I come to You in the name of Jesus. I now understand why I need salvation, and I ask You to forgive me for my sin, which I inherited from Adam. Your Word says that the wages of sin is death—eternal separation from You—but that Your gift is eternal life through Jesus Christ. You also said that if I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Romans 6:23; 10:9).
Right now, I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead for me. Thank You for forgiving my sin and saving me. I believe You hear my prayer, and I am now reconciled with You. Thank You for making me right with You so I can spend every day and eternity in Your presence. Please fill and baptize me now with your Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, enduing me with power from on high.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
