Recognizing The Need

The sinner’s prayer is a term that describes the words spoken by a person when he or she has recognized their sin and their need for a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It goes something like this:

“Dear Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner. I have failed to reflect your glory and deserve the punishment that results from sin. Jesus, I believe that You are holy and sinless, that You died on the cross at Calvary and rose from the dead to grant salvation. I now place all my confidence in You as my Savior. Please forgive me of my sins and grant me eternal life. Thank You for saving me. I want to live my life for You. Amen.”

If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God’s family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.

  • Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
  • Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
  • Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
  • Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
  • Find a local church where you can worship God.
