Inviting Jesus into Your Heart

(A Sinner's Prayer)

Dear God,
I have heard about your Righteous Son, Jesus, and now I want to know Him as my Savior - the One who can save me from the penalty sin, which is eternal death. I believe that Jesus suffered and died on the cross to save me from an eternity of separation from You, and to restore a right relationship with You; and that He physically rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death, and proving Your acceptance of His Sacrifice.
I want to be redeemed from the curse of sin, through the Blood Jesus shed on the cross. I repent of all my sins, and ask you to help me to lead a life pleasing to you for the remainder of my life here on earth - and afterwards, to spend eternity with You in Heaven. Jesus said,

"Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John_3:3

Therefore, I am asking you to bring me into Your Kingdom by this spiritual rebirth of which the Bible speaks. Lord Jesus, I do believe.
Come into my heart and wash me clean of all sin. Bring me into a personal relationship with Thee, And accept me into thy wonderful Kingdom, Write my name in the Book of Life. Make me thine own child, a child of the King! And keep me in the Palm of thy Hand forever. By faith, I believe that I have just now been born again! I believe that I have passed from eternal death into Life Eternal, based on these words of Jesus:
Help me to become a good and brave soldier of Christ, ready to give my all to You and for You, who have given Your All for me. May I never hurt You again with sin, but may I never forget your Mercy, should I fail You along my journey Home. Nurture me in my walk of Faith, and cause me to be like the good soil that produces much fruit. (Mat._13:23) Keep me always safe in Your Loving Arms.
Father in Heaven, thank you for creating me, for giving Jesus to save me, and for sending Your Own Spirit to live within my heart. Make me a faithful witness for You as long as I have breath.
In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John_5:24)

To "seal" your commitment to Christ,
...you could print out this prayer and then keep a copy in your Bible:
I surrender my life... heart, soul, strength, and mind, to You, my God, from this moment on.
Take me and mold me according to Thy Will, to do from this day on all that You command. And if I should fall, as all people do from time to time, I pray that You will lift me up quickly and point me to Your Cross, that I may never fall into dispair or hopelessness.
I rebuke the devil and renouce all affiliation I may ever have had with him or his kingdom; and I commit myself wholly to You God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.

1 John 1:7-10 KJV: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. {8} If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. {9} If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. {10} If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
1 John 2:1 KJV: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
I and my Father are one.
John 10:27-30

Just As I Am

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. The Good Shepherd

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Jut as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come!

Charlotte Elliott, 1835

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. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 10:9-11
