Salvation Prayer

If you are ready to receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, why do you not ask Him right now? A simple but heart felt prayer could be like this: -
Congratulations if you just said that prayer, welcome to the family of God, the angels are now rejoicing over one sinner who has come home. Do you realize, that now that you have received Jesus Christ into your heart, you are now a child of God? You are now promised eternal life and will live with Him forever in an exquisitely beautiful place called heaven, where the streets are made of pure gold (John 1:12; 3:15-16; 5:24; 10:28; Gal. 3:26; I John 5:11-13). Here is an amazing promise God gives to us…

4 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away… 18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city [itself was of] pure gold, clear and transparent like glass. Rev. 21:4, 18.

You are now “Born Again,” (John 3:3, 6) and you have become a new creation, the old has past and the new has come (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15). Not because of how you feel, but because God in His Word has promised it, and He is not a man that He should lie (Num. 23:19). Your spirit has been made new and alive to God, but your mind and body have not changed. So now you will need to renew your mind and thinking in accordance with God’s Word (Rom. 12:2; II Cor. 3:18) by reading the Word of God the Bible. Start in the New Testament with the Gospel of John and then Romans, and use an easy translation. This is your spiritual food which is needed for you to grow. The word of God is powerful and will sustain and strengthen you as you begin to learn how to apply it to your life (Matt. 4:4; John 6:27, 57-58; I Pet. 2:2; Heb. 4:12).

Also begin to pray every morning before you do anything else. Talk to God as you would talk to your father (with respect and thanksgiving), prayer comes by practise and descipline. The more time you spend in His presence the closer you will get to Him. Also remember Jesus said, "you have not because you ask not," things do not happen on their own we need to ask God for help and guidance in every situation. Join other believers, if you can, and be apart of a church, a home group or Bible study, this will also encourage you!

Remember never give up (II Cor. 4:16-18; Gal. 6:9)! Salvation is only promised to those who do not give up, who overcome and endure to the end. A runner or athlete who quits just before the finish line, is automatically disqualified from the race! There are many rewards awaiting those who do finish their race (Rev. 2:7, 10; 21:7; Matt. 10:22; 24:13). You have an enemy, Satan and he will try his best to get you off track, deceive you and distract you. But the Lord has promised never to leave you or forsake you, He is with you always to help you through every difficult circumstance and He will never let you go (Heb. 13:5; Matt. 28:20; Isa. 41:10; 43:1-2; 49:15).
