Salvation: Having a relationship with God on His Terms

This prayer is a guide and biblically based. All a person needs to do is cry out to God in their own words. If you are not sure how to pray, please use this as a guide.

To have a relationship with God versus religion, pray this prayer sincerely and in your own words. 

Dear Heavenly Father, (Matt. 6:9) I want a relationship with You...not a religion. I come to You and open my heart. (John 3:16) I will be honest and sincere with You. (John 4) I am running my life and need Your help. (Matt. 6:10) I am made in Your image (Gen 1:26, 27), and I won't be happy until I am in a relationship with you. (Gen. 3) Most of my behavior does not please You. (Romans 3:23) I know I am a sinner, so please forgive my sins because of Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who came to die for my sins. (John 3:16) His death on the cross is the punishment I should receive, but You were gracious to die in my place through Christ. By faith, I place all of my past, present, and future sins on Christ. I believe Jesus Christ is my Savior, and salvation is a gift! I know I cannot earn my way to heaven by being good through good works. (Eph. 2:8) You did this so I can be in a relationship with You on earth and for all eternity. (Romans 10:9-13) And I will forgive those who have sinned or hurt me because you have forgiven me. Take away any bitterness or resentment I carry toward You or other people. (Matt. 6:13-14) Please show and teach me how to live a praiseworthy life on earth to You starting today. (Matt. 6:33, Acts 9 and 10) I ask you to be in my heart, as Paul said in Ephesians 3:17. I know that You love me, Father, and I want to love You and that you have a purpose and plan for my life. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Lord, because You gave me breath in my lungs and Savior, because you paid my sin debt. Please teach me to pray. (Matt. 6:9) Thank You, Jesus, for saving me to Yourself (Ex. 19:1-8) and making me a new person! (2 Cor. 5:17) In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen!

Israel Trip Part 2: Galilee Region, Jerusalem, Biblical Teaching at Sites and our Thoughts

We explore the area where Jesus had His ministry in the northern areas of Israel. But we head down to Jerusalem and explore biblical sites. We explore David's tomb, the valleys around Jerusalem and Dr. Baruch's teaching. We realize that the Bible is real history and God has an agenda which He will share with us if we are interested. We saw David's tomb, the pool of Bethesda, and the actual place where Pontius Pilate rendered judgment on Christ. There was not a dry eye in the place. Very moving emotionally. He died a criminal’s death because we are criminals before God because this world is His Creation and we are His creation and we break His law. We are made to serve Him. We sin, and He saves us! Dr. Baruch showed various places in Jerusalem where the Gospel stories happened and the lessons they have to teach us. Will we learn? Join us for Podcast for Pewsitters! See full post & comments
