Salvation Prayer

Are You Searching To Know God?

A salvation prayer is for any person who is searching for the truth and seeking to have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of all things.  It is not a complicated process.  It demands a recognition of our need for salvation, our problematic human nature, and our inability to live a perfectly sinless life.  Through this prayer, we ask the Father to recognize our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed himself as a perfect substitute for our death and destruction that our sins would otherwise warrant.  

​

It is a prayer to ask our Creator for forgiveness for all the errors we have made and will make in the future and a prayer that expresses our acceptance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  It is a commitment to repent, or to change our minds, about the wrong ways in which we know we are acting and/or thinking.  It is a private and personal decision to put our faith in Jesus Christ.  

​

​                                                                              This is what the Scriptures say about our salvation:

​

​

​"Once you were under God’s curse, doomed forever for your sins.  You went along with the crowd and were just like all the others, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air, who is at work right now in the hearts of those who are against the Lord.  All of us used to be just as they are, our lives expressing the evil within us, doing every wicked thing that our passions or our evil thoughts might lead us into. We started out bad, being born with evil natures, and were under God’s anger just like everyone else.  

But God is so rich in mercy; he loved us so much that even though we were spiritually dead and doomed by our sins, he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead—only by his undeserved favor have we ever been saved—and lifted us up from the grave into glory along with Christ, where we sit with him in the heavenly realms—all because of what Christ Jesus did.  And now God can always point to us as examples of how very, very rich his kindness is, as shown in all he has done for us through Jesus Christ.

Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting Christ.  And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God.  Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it.  It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others."     

                                                                                                                                                          Ephesians 2:1-10 (TLB)
