Please note: the sinner's prayer below isn't any "official prayer"
but rather a sample prayer to follow when asking Jesus into your heart. You can pray to God in your own words.
Regarding the location of sinner's prayer in the Bible? Well, there
isn't one mentioned; it is only implied. The basis of the sinner's prayer comes from Romans 10:9-10. "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."
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge
to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood
on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our
God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe
that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His
Word, right now I am saved.
Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins.
I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform
my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.
Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.
Amen.
