"What is the sinner's prayer?"
The sinner's prayer is a prayer a person prays to God when they understand that
they are a sinner and in need of a Savior. Saying a sinner's prayer will not
accomplish anything on its own. A sinner's prayer is only effective if it
genuinely represents what a person knows, understands, and believes about their
sinfulness and need for salvation.
The first aspect of a sinner's prayer is understanding that we are all sinners.
Romans 3:10 proclaims, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."
The Bible makes it clear that we have all sinned. We are all sinners in need of
mercy and forgiveness from God (Titus 3:5-7). Because of our sin, we deserve
eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46). The sinner's prayer is a plea for grace
instead of judgment. It is a request for mercy instead of wrath.
The second aspect of a sinner's prayer is knowing what God has done to remedy
our lost and sinful condition. God took on flesh and became a human being in the
Person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1,14). Jesus taught us the truth about God and
lived a perfectly righteous and sinless life (John 8:46; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus then died on the cross in our place, taking the punishment that we deserve
(Romans 5:8). Jesus rose from the dead to prove His victory over sin, death, and
hell (Colossians 2:15; 1 Corinthians chapter 15). Because of all of this, we can
have our sins forgiven and be promised an eternal home in Heaven - if we will
just place our faith in Jesus Christ. All we have to do is believe that He died
in our place and rose from the dead (Romans 10:9-10). We can be saved by grace
alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. Ephesians 2:8 declares, "For
it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God."
Saying the sinner's prayer is simply a way of declaring to God that you are
relying on Jesus Christ as your Savior. There are no "magical" words that result
in salvation. It is only faith in Jesus' death and resurrection that can save
us. If you understand that you are a sinner and in need of salvation through
Jesus Christ, here is a sinner's prayer you can pray to God:
"God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences
of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that
His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and
Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and
forgiving me! Amen!"

teaches? If you did and would like for someone to send you an email for more
references as a new believer, please send us an email. Thanks for visiting and
