Perhaps you have never asked Christ to be your Lord and saviour, if so
you need his forgiveness and his salvation, why not ask him to save
your soul and to give you life eternal:
Pray something after this manner...
‘Heavenly Father; I confess that I am a sinner and ask for your
forgiveness. I believe that Jesus, your Son, died on the cross to pay
the consequences, the penalty for all my sins. Dear Lord Jesus, I
believe that God raised you from the dead so please come into my
life be my Saviour and Lord and help me to become the person you
want me to be and to live always for you.
Holy Spirit please come and fill me with the knowledge of Christ and
the assurance that I am forgiven eternally
Thank you Lord for your forgiveness and for your assurance that I will
spend eternity with you in heaven forever’.... Amen
