Life is full of questions, but the most important one we will ever answer is this: Where will I spend eternity? The good news is that God loves you so much that He made a way for you to spend eternity with Him. No matter who you are or what you’ve done, His grace is enough to cover it all. Salvation isn’t about earning your way to God; it’s about accepting the free gift of His love through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Whether you are coming to Jesus for the first time or rededicating your life to Him after walking away, His arms are open wide to receive you. The Bible tells us in 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” When you pray this prayer, you’re making a decision to surrender your life—or surrender it again—to Jesus, declaring Him as your Savior and Lord. Romans 10:9-10 assures us that when we believe and confess, we are saved. This is your moment to step into the freedom and joy that only a relationship with Christ can bring.

A Prayer for Salvation and Rededication

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today, acknowledging that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. Your Word says in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” I confess my sins to You and repent, turning away from my old ways. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead so that I could have eternal life. As it says in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Thank You, Lord, for loving me and making a way for me to be saved.

For those rededicating their lives: Father, I return to You today, acknowledging that I have strayed from Your path. Your Word promises in Joel 2:13, “Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.” I repent of my sins and renew my commitment to follow You. I ask for Your forgiveness and for the strength to walk in Your ways.

I declare with my mouth as I pray this prayer of salvation, that Jesus is Lord, and I invite Him into my heart as my Savior and King. As I make this confession, I stand on the promise of Romans 10:13, which says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” I ask You to forgive my sins, cleanse me, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to live for You from this day forward, trusting in Your guidance and walking in Your truth. Thank You, Father, for the gift of salvation, for Your mercy that restores, and for the new life I have in Jesus. In His mighty name, I pray.

Amen.
