  • 1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
  • 2 saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God, and didn't respect man.
  • 3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'
  • 4 He wouldn't for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,
  • 5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
  • 6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
  • 7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
  • 8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
  • 9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
  • 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

What is the Sinner's Prayer for Salvation?

The sinners prayer is a common Christian term for a prayer that is said when someone wants to repent of their sin, ask God for forgiveness, and verbally state their belief in the life, death, and saving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

"For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their Profession of faith and so find salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Christ's death on the cross paid in full the debt of our sin. Action must be taken to take hold of the gift.

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and there is nothing that I can do to save myself. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin or to work my way to heaven through any good works. At this moment I trust Christ alone and receive by faith all Grace purchased by Jesus as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. I believe that He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in your holy presence. I thank you that Christ was raised from the dead as a guarantee of my own resurrection. As best as I can, I now transfer my trust to Him and by my faith take hold of His grace and love for me. I am grateful that He has promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Thank you for your word that will guide me as to how I should live my remaining days. Please grant me the wisdom to discern correctly and motivation to grow my faith, obedience, understanding, appreciation, and love for you. Thank you for your Grace and mercy that I do not deserve. Thank you that my salvation is not based on my level of performance in my short life but in my receiving what your victory on the cross did pay for. Thank you that I can receive by my faith alone, your glorious gift of salvation. Thank you for hearing this prayer and for saving me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
