Home / Plan of Salvation

The Most Important Decision You'll Ever Make

Do you know Jesus?

God loves you and has a plan for your life. No matter where you are, no matter what you've done, salvation is available to you right now — and it starts with just three steps.

The ABCs of Salvation

Simple. Clear. Life-changing.

The Bible tells us that every person can be saved — forgiven, restored, and made new — through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Here's how:

A Admit

Admit that you are a sinner and that sin separates you from God. We have all fallen short — no one is perfect — and the consequence of sin is spiritual death. The first step to salvation is being honest with God about who you are.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23
B Believe

Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sin, and that God raised Him from the dead. Salvation is not earned — it is received by faith. Trust that what Jesus did on the cross is enough.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8
C Confess

Confess Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. This is not just agreeing that Jesus existed — it means surrendering your life to Him and declaring with your mouth that He is Lord. When you confess, God hears you and salvation is yours.

“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
— Romans 10:9 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
— Romans 10:13
Pray Right Now

A prayer of salvation

If you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can pray this prayer from your heart right now. God hears every sincere prayer.

Pray this from your heart:

Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner.

I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died on the cross for my sins, and that God raised You from the dead.

I confess You as my Lord and Savior.

I turn away from my sin and I invite You into my life.

Thank You for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you just prayed this prayer and meant it — welcome to the family of God. The Bible promises that you are saved, forgiven, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. What happened in your heart today is real.
