4 steps of sinners prayer
Step one: "Have you received Jesus as your personal lord and savior?"
- Step two: "Do you want to be saved today?" To be saved is to accept Jesus as your lord and savior, live
for him and be saved from sin, ourselves (ways and proclivities counteractive to Gods will) and hell.
- Step three: Romans 10:9 declares If you confess with your mouth that Jesus, is lord. And believe in your
heart God raised him from the dead. Thou shall be saved.
- Step four: Repeat after me. Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive me for my sins. I confess with my mouth
, that Jesus is lord, I believe that you died for my sins so that I could be forgiven and were risen from the
dead. I receive You as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for coming into my life. Amen.
