John 3:16-17 says that God so loved the world he sent His only son, Jesus Christ, so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. God sent Jesus Christ not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Romans 10:9-10 says that “if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

If you are not sure what to say, the prayer below can help you communicate with God that you repent of your sin, receive His forgiveness, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Dear Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for me and rose from the dead. I trust you as my Lord and Savior and pray that you guide my life and help me to do your will.

In your Holy name, Amen
