Hello, there my friend, the greatest thing you can accomplish in your life is accepting God's free gift of salvation. All of us are made with an eternal soul that will live on after the grave. It will be a conscious existence and we will be in only one of two places Heaven or Hell. God is not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance. God made this world and universe a perfect paradise with no death or destruction and man had a perfect relationship with God. But when man brought sin into it by our own choice it we lost that walk and relation with God and "death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Hell was made for the Devil and his angels and not for us. God want's to restore us to him and offer a gift of eternal life.
He can justly give us that gift because he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to be born of a virgin and to live a perfect life. Then die on a cross to pay the price of all man kind's sin. He was buried for 3 days and nights then rose up from the dead and lives today. Because he paid the price and rose again he can offer you a paid pardon for your sin. And that comes with eternal life with him after your physical death. You can receive that gift by:
1. Accept the fact that you are a sinner.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
2. The payment for your sin is death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
3. The payment for your sins was paid in full.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
4. Believe in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection and trust Him to save you from sin's penalty.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
5. Call upon Him (in prayer) and God will answer.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believeth 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.
My friend this isn't a hope so or a maybe salvation. This is a know for salvation. 1John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." You cannot work your way into heave. You are only getting in through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 "for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
If you want to pray to be saved and not too sure what to say here is a prayer that you can follow. Understand that the prayer in of itself will not save you. You need to make it yours and put all of your trust and faith in what Christ has done and nothing else.
Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner going to hell. I know that I cannot save myself. I repent of my sins and put my faith in you alone to save my never dying soul and to take me to heaven when I die. Thank you for everything. In Jesus's name I pray, amem.
