Promise of Redemption from Judgement.

 This prayer touches the deepest and most urgent need of the human soul—to be saved from the just and eternal consequences of sin. This deliverance is the very heart of the gospel, and the promise is sure for all who turn to Christ.

✝️ The Promise of Redemption from Judgment

The Bible is clear that eternal separation from God is the just penalty for sin, but it is even clearer about the God who provides a way of escape.

· The Problem We Face: Scripture states that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23), and warns of a "second death" in the "lake of fire" (Revelation 20:14-15). This is the state of all who remain separated from God.

· The Provided Rescue: The glorious news is that "God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that... we may live together with him" (1 Thessalonians 5:9-10). Jesus bore the full penalty of sin in our place.

· The Path to Safety: Salvation is received, not earned. "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). It is a gift of grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).

💬 A Prayer of Receiving Salvation

If this is the cry of your heart, you can pray this prayer to receive the redemption Jesus purchased:

Lord Jesus, I come to You acknowledging my sin and my need for a Savior. I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins, and that You rose from the dead to defeat death forever. I believe Your promise that whoever believes in You will not perish but have eternal life.

Right now, I turn from my sin and I place my full trust in You alone. I ask You to forgive me, cleanse me, and be the Lord of my life. Thank You for redeeming me from eternal judgment and giving me the gift of eternal life with You. I receive Your salvation by faith. In Your mighty name, Amen.

✨ The Assurance of Your Redemption

If you have prayed this sincerely, based on God's promise, you can know you are saved. The Bible gives this assurance:

· His Promise is True: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13). Your salvation rests on His faithfulness, not your feelings.

· Your New Status: You have been "rescued... from the dominion of darkness and brought... into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:13-14).

· Your Eternal Security: "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life" (John 3:36, present tense). It is a secure possession now, guaranteed by Christ's finished work.

This is the greatest transaction: your sin for His righteousness, your death for His life, your condemnation for His redemption. You are now a redeemed child of God. The journey of growing in this new life begins today.
