Prayer of Salvation

Dear Father, I know that I have sinned, and I believe that you sent your only son,Jesus, to die on the cross as a sacrifice for my sins. You said that if I confess my sins to you, you will forgive me. I am asking you right now to come into my heart, wash away every sin and make me pure in your site. Thank you Father, for giving the gift of your son to me. Thank you for your mercy and your grace. In Jesus name, Amen.

If you just prayed the above prayer then I would like to say:

Welcome to the Family of God!!!!

If this page has impacted your life, or you just have a comment about it, please let me know!!! Email Me!

Q: Ok, so I have accepted Christ, what do I do next??
A: First, begin reading your Bible daily-starting in the book of St. John.
Second, talk to God in prayer everyday, just the way you would talk to a friend, because he is now your closest friend. (learn how to Hear from God) Be sensitive to God, he will probably ask you to change some areas of your life, it's for your own good. Do not disobey or ignore him, he can never fully work in your life if you keep "hidden sins" in your heart. Throught this prayer and Bible study time you should develope a deep, personal relationship with Christ. It is at this point where you will begin experiencing the awesomeness of God!!! And let me tell you, he is sure Awesome!
Third, find a church where the Bible is taught as the complete word of God and is the final authority. If you need help in finding a church, Click here and this site can help you locate a church in your area.
Fourth, obey Christ's command and be baptized.(Matt. 28:19) Being Baptized in water is an outward sign of an inward change.
