Biblical Association between Salvation and Prayer:
The Biblical foundation of salvation is based on faith in Jesus and trusting in Him alone. Heartfelt prayer to the Lord acts together with trust alone in the saving act of Jesus.
John 3:16 (NKJV) says; “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Salvation is gained by faith as Ephesians 2: 8 – 9 (NKJV) says; 9For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Romans 10: 9 -10 (NKJV) says; 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10: 12 -13 (NKJV) says; 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Heartfelt Prayer: Lord, forgive my sins and save me. Help me to break old habits and follow Your will. I believe in Jesus and ask Him to be my Lord and Savior. Cleanse me with your blood and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
When you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, give thanks, and offer praise to God for His love, sacrifice, and free gift of salvation. Faithfully read the bible daily, as well as pray, forming a relationship with the Lord. Find a Bible-believing church to fellowship with others and learn how to live righteously in Christ Jesus by obeying God’s Word.
