The Sinner’s Prayer
No matter what sins you may have committed or who or what you are or what you have done, you are free to come to God through Jesus Christ. Pray the following prayer believing with all of your heart and confessing with your mouth and the miracle will happen. You will be born again and be saved from all of your sins. You will have eternal life in Christ Jesus. You will be a true child of God.
Pray this prayer:
“Lord God, I come before you, because I understand that I need you, your forgiveness and your salvation. Please forgive me for all of my sins. I want to turn away from them to follow You. I believe with all of my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord, my God, and my Savior. That He died for me on the cross and shed His blood to wash away all my sins. I believe that He was buried, but You Father, raised Him from the dead at the third day. I believe that through faith in Lord Jesus, I can be saved. Allow that the Lord Jesus may come into my heart and into my life. Make me a new person. I surrender my heart, my soul, my mind and my strength to You. And by faith, I confess that I am yours forever and ever. In the Name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.”
Now That I am Saved, What Do I Do?
As a child of God, you begin an eternal relationship with God. As a relationship, you must spend time with God daily speaking to Him through prayer and allowing Him to speak to you through His Word, the Holy Bible. It is simple and easy.
Praying to God
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:6-7
I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1 Timothy 2:8

Reading the Word of God Daily
