Salvation is God’s free gift to us.
It simply means deliverance from sin and its consequences. It is acceptance into the family of God and empowerment to live life wholly and fully with the purpose of reflecting God to our world. To be made whole, or to be saved, is to submit to God and His plan, purpose and hope for our lives. It’s a beautiful exchange: We give Him our past, our sins, our old ways, and He gives us freedom, forgiveness and a new life in Him.
Romans 10:9 says:
If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
If you are not sure whether you are right with God, or you know in fact that you need Jesus in your life, you can choose to follow Him right now by praying a prayer of surrender to Jesus.
Dear Jesus,
I’m praying this prayer because I know that I have done wrong by living without You. I am sorry and I trust that You will forgive me. I accept Your love and grace for me and ask that You would be my Lord. Help me believe in You and love You every day, and help me to show the world what You are like and how great Your love is. I am now saved and set free. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Congratulations!
To pray these words with a surrendered heart to Jesus is the beginning of the most important journey you will ever embark on: the journey to follow Jesus.
Let us know you prayed this prayer and receive a FREE GIFT!
