Admit your need (I am a sinner).
Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.
Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior). If you pray from your heart, Christ will come into your life right now, as He promised.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. Take control of my life by the power of the Holy Spirit. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Amen.
