The Sinner’s Prayer.

Pray this prayer, or something very similar, in your heart. 

Jesus loves you so much that He died for you, so that you could go to Heaven, and not to Hell, when you die. 

Sincerely, and slowly, pray the following to God the Father, Who loves you. Jesus looked up to Heaven when He prayed, so you do not have to shut your eyes! 

You will hear God the Holy Spirit speak to you, using your conscience, twice as you pray this prayer.

1. Loving Father, I want to be sure that when I die I do not go to Hell. I want to go to Heaven, to live with you forever.

2. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for me personally, and that He rose again from the dead after 3 days.

3. I need to be born again, just like Jesus Christ taught in the Bible (see John 3:3 and John 3:7).

4. Please forgive me for all the sins I have ever committed. Please show them to me now, using my conscience.

5. Pause and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, which sounds exactly like your conscience.

6. I ask forgiveness for all of them.

7. I repent of those sins. I will stop doing them. Please help me to stop doing them.

8. I need to forgive. Please show me, using my conscience, the names, or the faces, of those people I need to forgive.

9. Pause and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, which sounds exactly like your conscience.

10. I forgive everyone who has sinned against me, especially (name those people who the Holy Spirit revealed to you).

11. Please forgive me because Jesus Christ, Your Son, died on the Cross for me. According to 1 John 1:7, the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all of my sin. (The Bible says, "If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin," 1 John 1:7)

12. I thank You that I am now forgiven, according to the Holy Bible.

13. Please now send the Holy Spirit to live in me.

14. I receive the Holy Spirit. Thank you I am born again by the Holy Spirit.

15. I believe that Jesus Christ is my Personal Saviour.

16. Thank you that I have changed kingdoms from the kingdom of Satan, to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

17. Thank You that You are now my Father. I belong to you, and I now have an eternal home in Heaven, with You.

18. I commit the rest of my life to Jesus Christ.

19. Please show me how You want me to spend the rest of my life.

20. Please show me how I should live, and help me to understand the Bible.

21. Please put me in touch with other genuine born again Christians.

God Loves Us, And Wants Us To Go To Heaven.

The Bible states: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life," John 3:16.

God loved us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross. If we believe this, repent of our sins, forgive others, accept God's forgiveness, and follow Jesus Christ, then we are assured of eternal life in Heaven.

In 2 Peter 3:9, we read, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance". 

God does not want anyone to go to Hell, but sadly, according to Jesus Christ, multitudes do, simply by failing to take from God the free offer of eternal life in Heaven, on God's terms.

In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus said, "Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to Hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it" TLB.

How To Be Born Again.

How can I be "born again" so that I go to Heaven when I die?

To be born again, we all must pray a simple prayer. In this prayer there are various simple things you must do, without leaving anything out.

- Acknowledge to God that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for you personally, and rose from the dead.

- Ask God's forgiveness for all of the sins that you have ever committed.

- Turn away from and stop any known sin. This is known as Repentance.

- Forgive anyone who has ever sinned against you, or any member of your family.

- Ask God's forgiveness because the Blood of Jesus Christ cleans you personally from sin.

- Ask God to send the Holy Spirit to come to live in you.

- Acknowledge to God that Jesus Christ is your Personal Saviour. 

Is there anything else I need to know before praying this prayer? 

Yes. It is essential to be aware of some Biblical concepts before this prayer is prayed. These are explained below. The Sinner's Prayer is in a following chapter.

What is Repentance? 

The Bible says we are all sinful. The Bible states: "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God', Romans 3:23. We must stop anything sinful, and ask forgiveness from God Who is Holy, and will not allow sin in His presence. There are TWO parts to repentance! One part is to ask forgiveness for the sin, the other is to stop doing it. Half the job doesn't count! It is essential to repent properly, which means spending some time thinking about your life.

What in practical simple terms does this mean for each one of us?

In simple terms this means that we should obey the Ten Commandments. Here is a shortened version of the Ten Commandments:

Exodus 20:3 -17 (shortened, from The Living Bible)

1. You may worship no other god than Me.

2. You shall not make yourselves any idols, and you must never bow or worship idols in any way.

3. You shall not use the name of Jehovah your God irreverently.

4. Remember to observe the Sabbath as a holy day.

5. Honour your father and mother.

6. You must not murder.

7. You must not commit adultery.

8. You must not steal.

9. You must not lie.

10. You must not be envious of your neighbour's house, or anything else he has.



The first commandment is that we must only worship the God of the Bible. We must all remove any false idols in our lives, such our money, our careers, our homes, our appearance, alcohol, drugs, any addictions, or anything else that is more important to us than God Himself. We must stop completely any form of sin such as swearing, murder, any form of sexual immorality, theft, lying, and lust. We all have a conscience, which is God's voice within us (see below). God uses our conscience to show each one of us what He does not approve of.

Who is Jesus Christ?

The Bible is perfectly clear the Jesus Christ is God. According to John Chapter 1, Jesus was present right at the beginning of Creation, and He made everything. Life is in Him. To those who receive Him, Jesus gives the right to become a child of God. This is explained in the opening verses of the Gospel of John.

'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to his own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believed in His name.' (John 1:1-4, 10-12.)

Believe that Jesus is the Christ

The Bible is perfectly clear that Jesus Christ, and He alone, is the Messiah. We must acknowledge this to God the Father in prayer. Jesus clarified that He is the Messiah in the following text: 'The high priest asked him, saying unto Him, 'Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?' Jesus said, 'I am.' (Mark 14:61-62.)

True faith in Jesus Christ will give us eternal life in Him in Heaven, as stated in the following famous verse: 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.' (John 3:16.)

The Greek word used here implies having faith in Jesus Christ. It is more than an intellectual acknowledgement that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Many people vaguely believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. However, true faith in Jesus Christ is much more than this. It is a true faith in Jesus Christ, which can only come after a true conversion experience, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

We need to know and believe further facts about Jesus Christ, discussed in the next chapter.
