Your First Prayer: A Guide to the Born-Again (Sinner’s) Prayer

This guide explains the born-again, or sinner’s, prayer. It is a promise of faith in Christ’s death and resurrection. It invites you to confess sin and receive forgiveness. Here is a sample prayer: "Dear God, I believe Jesus Christ is your Son. I confess I have sinned and ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen." Key steps of this prayer are acknowledging need, believing in Jesus’ sacrifice, repenting of sin, and inviting Christ to lead your life. What happens next is reading the Bible, praying regularly, and joining a community of believers.
