“Changing
Lives Around the World ... Through the WORD of GOD”
Do
You Know Jesus?
Prayer of Salvation
Do you know Jesus? We’re not asking if
you know about Jesus, we want to know if you know
Him! There’s a difference!
If you’ve come here and you’re
looking for a change, we want you to know that God is ready and willing
to help you - right now, wherever you are. It doesn’t matter
what you’ve done in your life - it’s
forgivable. It’s even forgettable.
God loves you and He made a plan to
absolve you of all guilt and shame - to wash away your sins and give
you a life worth living.
God knows about everything that has brought you to
this very moment, and He loves you. He understands your feelings and
wants to help you to live a better life, but He isn’t pushy.
He won’t force Himself upon you. God is waiting for you to be
at the place where you are willing to recognize His plan, call out to
Him and invite Him into your life.
What is His plan? God’s plan was to
redeem mankind from sin through the sacrificial life and death of His
only Son, Jesus. John 3:16 says, “For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever shall
believe on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
God loved us so much, He wanted to give us His best and
that’s why He sent Jesus. Jesus died on the cross for the
sins of the world. There was no greater sacrifice to the Father God
than to give up His only Son, Jesus. It was hard for Him, but it was
also right in His sight. Through Jesus’ sacrificial death on
the cross and resurrection from the grave, mankind was given an
opportunity to be redeemed from sin.
God tells us in His Word that sin must be paid
for, and the only payment acceptable in God’s eyes is the
blood of His only Son, Jesus Christ. When we accept Jesus, we are
accepting God’s plan and God can then start working with us.
Our simple faith in His plan opens the door for our heart to change,
and then our life can start changing too.
God gave His best when He gave us Jesus Christ,
and now there is nothing else we can do to earn His grace. Jesus earned
it for us. He took our blame and our sins. He died and rose again so
that we might be free and clear in God’s sight. Now, all we
have to do is realize our need for God and accept that Jesus
Christ’s death and resurrection is His plan for our
redemption – and go to Him in prayer.
Romans 10:9-10 tells us, “That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Sometimes people make this difficult, but God has made it very simple.
All He asks is that you believe that Jesus took your sins in your heart
and confess it with your mouth. Together, these things bring about
redemption. Together, they open the doorway so that you can be redeemed.
Are
you ready to
pray to God right now? If so, take a moment to talk to
God from your heart. Let him know that you want Him to be a part of
your life and you believe that Jesus came to die for your sins too.
Just be sincere, and you will receive salvation. If you need help, here
is a simple prayer that you can use as a guide:
“Lord Jesus, I know that
I need You. I’ve done things my own way up until now, and I
realize that I need your love and forgiveness in my life. I believe
that You died for my sins on the cross, and I ask you to forgive me of
my sins. I don’t want to live the way I have been living. I
want to turn away from this old life and live right before You.
I am trusting You and I am making
a decision to follow You, Jesus. So, I ask You to come into my life and
make a change in my heart right now. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for
dying for me and for being there, right now, for me. I accept You as my
Lord and Savior! I accept that your Word is true and I will begin to
follow you from this moment forward! Thank you for coming into my life.
Thank you for receiving me into your family, God! In Jesus’
name I pray, Amen.”
If you just prayed this prayer with your heart and
confessed it with your mouth, you’ve done what the Bible says
and you have been redeemed. You’re saved. You’ve
been adopted into the family of God and you can be confident that you
will live eternally with God. Starting from this very moment, you have
changed. You may not feel anything, but that doesn’t change
the fact that God has accepted you because you’ve accepted
His Son.
Salvation is not a matter of feeling;
it’s a matter of faith. If you’ve made the decision
to serve Christ, now you can be assured that no matter what
you’ve done in your life your sin has been completely washed
away. You’ve got a clean slate now. Ephesians 2:8-9 puts it
this way, “For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of
works, lest anyone should boast.” That
scripture proves that your salvation doesn’t depend on your
strength or ability. It depends on the grace of God and your faith in
Jesus’ work! And His blood is more than able to take care of
your salvation! Never doubt the gift God has given to you.
If you’ve made this commitment to God
today, please call, write or e-mail our ministry at

let us know about your salvation. We care about you and know that
God has great plans ahead for you. He is able to change you from the
inside out, and turn circumstances around for good. So, keep talking to
Him. Again, write us so that we can bless you with more information!
Thank you for letting us share salvation with you,
and welcome to the family of God! If you are in or around the greater
Atlanta area and you are with out a spiritual covering or church home,
