Prayer
to receive Salvation
A) The means and provision of Salvation
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed
blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus Christ became sin and
sickness by providing both salvation and divine healing for all
mankind (Psalms 103:3). Justification is freely given by his grace
through redemption, which is in Christ. For by grace we are saved
through faith (Ephesians 2:8, Romans 3:24, 10:8-10).
B) The evidence of Salvation
The inward evidence to the believer, of his salvation,
is the direct witness of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward
evidence to all men is a life of righteousness & true holiness.
"And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of
his son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded
us" (1 John 3:10, 14, 15, 18, 19, 23)
C) Salvation is by faith in Jesus
Salvation come through Christ and not by
human work. However, our works constitute the perfection of faith,
and will determine our rewards for eternity (Acts 16:3, Romans 10:9-10,
14:20-21).
PRAYER TO RECEIVE SALVATION
Dear God, Creator of the universe, today I want
to receive the gift of salvation that you have offered to all through
faith in your Son Jesus Christ. I acknowledge that I am a sinner
and I ask you to forgive all my sins and all my trespasses against
You. From now on, I want to live in obedience and submission to
your will and I ask you to change my heart and my life. Make me,
O Lord, what You want me to be and give me a new heart. I forsake
all rebellion and sin against you, and from now on, I will submit
and obey your word.
Today with all my heart I accept Jesus Christ
as my Lord and Savior. I believe that He is the Son of God, who
died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose from the dead
on the third day after his death. I declare that Jesus Christ is
the Lord of my live and I will follow Him wherever He leads me.
Lord Jesus, I invite you to take possession and to reign over my
life. Wash me by your precious blood of all sin and give me the
life that you promised to all that would come to You. I believe
now and I receive the gift of eternal life in the name of the Son
of God. Heavenly Father, I thank you for this new life that you’ve
given me through faith in your Son Jesus.
Today by faith in the word of God, I declare
that I am saved in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
