Sinners Prayer
God can give your life meaning...actually only He can give true meaning, real peace, unspeakable Joy and a reason to live.
First........
Recognize that.....GOD LOVES YOU and Has a Plan for Your Life~You have worth!
For God
so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever (that means you!)
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Second.........
Recognize
that.....Everyone has SINNED and SIN SEPARATES YOU from GOD
SIN is man
walking in his own way in rebellion against God's will.
When we walk away from God, we walk away from life.
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
As humans we are always trying to find life's meaning in the wrong ways and places.
There is a way that seems
right to man, but it leads to death. (Pro. 14:12)
Our own
efforts can't save us
For it is by grace that you have been
saved, though faith-and this is not from yourselves,
it is the GIFT of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. (pH. 2:8-9)
Third.......
JESUS DIED AND ROSE
AGAIN FOR OUR SINS
He DIED in
OUR place.
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us. (Rom. 5:8)
JESUS is the
WAY to New Life.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Cor. 5:17)
He gives
INNER PEACE.
We have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ Rom. 5:1)
AND FREEDOM.
So if the Son sets you free, you will
be free indeed. (John 8:36)
AND ETERNAL
LIFE.
...but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 6:23)
JOY!! "In Your presence is fullness of JOY!" Psalm 16:11
Fourth......
ASK GOD for
FORGIVENESS
CONFESS YOUR
SINS TO GOD (Talk to Him about it)
He who conceals his sins does not
prosper, but whoever confesses
and renounces them finds MERCY. (Pro. 28:13
FORGIVENESS
is PROMISED.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
Fifth.....
Place Your
TRUST in Jesus and Receive HIM as Your SAVIOR.
Jesus is
READY.
Here I am! I stand at the door and
knock, if anyone hears my voice
and opens the door. I will go in... (Rev. 3:30)
Receive HIM NOW.
Yet to all who receive Him, to those who believed in His name
He gave them the right to become children of God.
The Bible says that "we can come boldly to the throne of the Lord, and obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:14) Let's do that now!
Ok, now let's start this relationship off right with the Lord!! Let's talk to Him! Simply, like this.........
Lord Jesus, I want to
have a life with meaning. I want to leave the darkness behind
and have Your Light within me. I confess that I have sinned and I ask Your forgiveness.
I believe that You died for me and I accept You as my Savior.
I will turn away from a life of darkness and sin and now follow You.
It is Your grace and power that will enable me to live for You.
Thank-You, Jesus, for saving me, and for giving me a new life in Your Light.
Amen!
In the past you were full of
darkness, but now you are full of light in the Lord. So live like children who belong to
the light. Light brings every kind of goodness, right living, and truth. Try to learn what
pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the things done in the darkness, which are not
worth anything. But try to expose them.
Ephesians 5.8-11
"For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God..." Isaiah 43:1-3
