ACCEPT SALVATION TODAY!

Before you read the prayer below, take a moment to reflect on the profound decision you are about to make. Becoming a Christian and affirming your identity as “born again” is a transformative step rooted in faith, repentance, and surrender to Jesus Christ. This prayer is not merely words—it is a heartfelt commitment to invite God into your life, acknowledge His grace, and begin a new journey of faith.

What This Prayer Represents

  1. Confession of Sin: You openly admit your imperfections and mistakes, trusting in God’s forgiveness (1 John 1:9).
  2. Repentance: You turn away from harmful choices and align your life with God’s will (Acts 3:19).
  3. Faith in Jesus: You declare belief in Christ’s death and resurrection as the foundation of your salvation (John 3:16).
  4. Confession of Faith: You publicly (or privately) declare Jesus as Lord, affirming your allegiance to Him (Romans 10:9-10).
  5. New Birth: You embrace the spiritual rebirth promised through the Holy Spirit, becoming a new creation in Christ (John 3:5-7; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

1. Confession

In Christianity, confession involves openly acknowledging one’s sins to God (and, in some traditions, to a spiritual leader). It is rooted in Scripture:

  • 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
  • Confession is both an act of humility and a step toward reconciliation with God. It requires honesty about wrongdoing and a willingness to turn away from it.

2. Turning Back to Jesus (Repentance)

Repentance means turning away from sin and turning toward God. It is a change of heart and mind:

  • Acts 3:19: “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.”
  • Repentance involves sorrow for sin, a decision to abandon it, and a commitment to follow Christ.

3. Becoming a Christian

To become a Christian, one must:

  • Believe: Trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (John 3:16).
  • Repent: Turn from sin and toward God’s ways (Acts 2:38).
  • Confess: Publicly declare faith in Jesus (Romans 10:9-10).
  • Receive the Holy Spirit: Experience spiritual rebirth (John 3:5-7).

Born-Again Experience

The term “born again” (John 3:3-7) refers to a spiritual rebirth through faith in Christ. It signifies a new identity in Christ, marked by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and a transformed life.

Confession Prayer for Affirming Being Born Again

Use this prayer as a heartfelt, personal declaration:

“Salvation Prayer”

Heavenly Father,

I come before You in humble confession. I admit that I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory (Romans 3:23). I am truly sorry for my wrongdoing and turn away from it completely (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Jesus Christ, I believe You are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). I confess You as my Lord and Savior, and I receive You into my heart (John 1:12).

By Your Holy Spirit, I am born again today—a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). I renounce my old ways and dedicate my life to honoring You. Fill me with Your power, guide me in Your truth, and help me live for You always.

Thank You for forgiving me and giving me eternal life. I am now Your child, redeemed and set free. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
