( Below is an example of the prayer you need to say in order to be saved. But do understand that this prayer
is not magic! The prayer itself does
not save you. What saves you is your sincere repentance and the faith you put in Jesus, as shown by the major changes that you make in your lifestyle as a result. But you begin by saying these words to Jesus, sincerely, frankly, honestly, from the heart, with total authenticity.
Dont just repeat the words lightly, flippantly: say every single word sincerely as you pray it. Otherwise, it's no use at all. Meaningless.)
Lord Jesus Christ:
I finally understand that I am not going to get to heaven the way I am right now: I get it.
My actions, my activities, my whole life up until now have not been what you want, and I know there’s just no way that I can ever be good enough to make it to heaven on my own. I cannot save myself, and I know it.
I desperately and sincerely want to change that, right now.
I really want to turn away from all the bad stuff in my life, all those unpleasant things I've been doing: I choose to leave all of that behind, to get away from it completely. I want to turn my life around completely, and start on a new path. From now on I want to do only what you want me to do.
I ask that you forgive me for all those things I have done.
I understand that the only way I can be acceptable to God and get my name written in the Book of Life, is to accept the gift that only you, Jesus, can offer me: salvation. I realize that you sacrificed your own life on the cross, for me. You died so that I wouldn't have to. You gave your perfect life as the only acceptable sacrifice for my miserable life.
I don't understand why you would do that for me, but I know that is what you did, and I humbly accept that amazing gift, recognizing that you are the only one that can give it.
I also realize that the only reason I can be raised from the dead to eternal life in heaven after I die, is because you were resurrected first and have promised to do the same for me when I die one day, if I truly repent and sincerely follow you from now on.
I ask you to cleanse me, to help me turn my life around, to change me to be how you want me to be.
I promise to follow you from now on, to trust you completely, with all my heart and mind, and to learn everything I can about you, by reading the Bible and praying, so that I can become a little more like you, every day.
I hand over to you my entire life, right now, and I ask you to take full control.
Jesus, I ask all this in your holy name, as I humbly bow before you as my king, my savior, and my God.
Amen.
