PRAYER TO BECOME A
CHILD OF GOD
How do we become a child of God? First and foremost it has nothing to do with you, but what was done for you by Jesus Christ. He gave His royal life, in perfect innocence, for you to be brought back to your Creator, God the Father. His death on the cross is the only price able to purchase for you eternal life.
No matter your social class, race, background, religion, or anything else favorable or unfavorable in the eyes of men, you are eligible to become a child of God. He desires and longs for you to come into His family. This occurs by simply renouncing your sin of living independently of H im and committing your life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ; once you do, you'll literally be reborn. You're no longer a slave to darkness; you're born-again as a brand new son or daughter of God. Scripture declares,
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)
So if you believe Jesus Christ died for you and you're willing to give Him your life — no longer to live for yourself — confess this prayer from a sincere heart, and you will become a child of God:
God in Heaven, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and have fallen short of Your righteous standard. I deserve to be judged for eterniy for my sin. Thank You for not leaving me in this state, for I believe You sent Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, who was born of the virgin Mary, to die for me and carry my judgment on the Cross. I believe He was raised again from the grave on the third day and is now seated at Your right hand as my Lord and Savior. So on this day of _________, 2025. I give my life entirely to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Jesus, I confess you as my Lord, Savior, and King: Come into my life through Your Spirit and change me into a child of God. I renounce the things of darkness which I once held on to and from this day forward I will no longer live for myself but for You who gave Yourself for me that I may live forever.
Thank You Lord; my life is now completely in Your hands, and according to Your Word I shall never be ashamed.
Now, you`re saved; you're a child of God. All heaven is rejoicing with you at
this very moment! Welcome to the family! I'd like to suggest three beneficial
steps to immediately take:
1. Share what you've done with someone who is already a believer.
Scripture informs us one of the ways we defeat darkness is by our testimony (see Revelation 12:11). I invite you to contact our ministry. We'd love to hear from you.
2. Join a good church that teaches the Word of God. Become a member and get involved. Parents do not put babies on the street the day they're born saying, "Survive." You are now a babe in Christ; God your Father has provided a spiritual family to help you grow. It's called the local New Testament Church.
3. Get water baptized. Though you are already a child of God, baptism is a public profession to both the spiritual world as well as the natural world that you have given your life to God through Jesus Christ, Ilt is also an act
