What is the prayer to save me from hell?

 A Biblical Prayer for Salvation from Hell

      The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God, available to anyone who repents of their sins and puts their faith in Jesus Christ. There is no single "official" prayer to save a person from hell, but the Scriptures provide clear guidance on how one can be saved and have eternal life with God.

Understanding the Need for Salvation

      The Bible explains that all people are sinners and fall short of God’s perfect standard:

● Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

● Romans 6:23 – “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

      Because of sin, humanity is separated from God, and without His intervention, we are destined for eternal punishment. However, God, in His love and mercy, provided a way for us to be saved through Jesus Christ.

God’s Plan for Salvation

      God’s plan to rescue us from hell is centered on Jesus Christ:

● John 3:16 – “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.”

● Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

      Jesus’ death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins, and His resurrection proved His victory over sin and death. Those who believe in Him and surrender their lives to Him will be saved.

The Prayer of Salvation

      While the Bible does not prescribe a fixed prayer to be saved, many believers use a prayer that expresses repentance, faith, and a desire to follow Christ. A commonly used prayer follows these biblical principles:

Prayer of Salvation:

   "Heavenly Father, I come to You recognizing that I am a sinner in need of Your mercy. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that He rose from the dead. I repent of my sins and turn to You for forgiveness. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and I ask You to transform my heart. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to live a life that pleases You. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

What Happens After Salvation?

      When a person sincerely prays for salvation and places their faith in Christ, several things happen:

1. Forgiveness of Sins – God forgives all past sins. (1 John 1:9)

2. New Life in Christ – The believer becomes a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

3. Eternal Security – Those who belong to Jesus have eternal life. (John 10:28)

4. The Holy Spirit’s Guidance – God gives the Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen believers. (John 14:26)

The Importance of Faith and Repentance

      Simply saying a prayer does not save a person; true salvation requires faith and repentance:

● Romans 10:9 – “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.”

● Acts 2:38 – “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.”

      True repentance means turning away from sin and committing to follow Christ. Faith means trusting Jesus completely for salvation.

Living as a Saved Believer

      Once saved, a person should grow in their relationship with God by:

● Reading the Bible daily (Psalm 119:105)

● Praying regularly (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

● Attending a Bible-believing church (Hebrews 10:25)

● Sharing the gospel with others (Matthew 28:19-20)

      Salvation is God’s free gift, but it requires a personal response. Those who sincerely repent, believe in Jesus and commit their lives to Him are saved from hell and receive eternal life. The prayer of salvation is an expression of this faith, but the real change happens in the heart. If you have never surrendered your life to Christ, today is the day to do so.
