The Sinner's Prayer THAT SAYS IT ALL

[This prayer alone can be an evangelistic tool if explained properly]

Lord Jesus,

Thank you for your personal invitation for me to enter your Kingdom where I will be your loyal subject having no will of my own but yours, having no life of my own but yours. I renounce myself and offer my body to you including all that I have (property, preoccupations) present and future at your disposal. Thank you for your offer to deliver me from slavery to my sinful nature and the promise of restoring my fallen nature back into the Image of God and Christlikeness. I will now submit myself to water baptism so I can be united with your body, crucified with you in your death and burial so as to become a new creation in Christ, experiencing the power of your resurrection and becoming a partaker of your divine nature as I receive the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands. I will now be a faithful participant in your body, the church and follow you in newness of life.

AMEN
