Dear Lord, I know that I have broken Your law and I am guilty of sin.
I repent of that sin, and want to turn from it,
and I ask for Your forgiveness.

And, right now, the best way I know how,
by faith I am asking You to come into my heart
and be my Personal Savior.
And take me to Heaven when I die.
Thank You Lord for saving my soul today.
Please take my life and make it what You want it to be.

“Larry with our heads still bowed, I want you to pretend for just a moment that I have left the room, and Jesus has come in and taken my place. Now, Larry, if you meant business and were sincere when you said that prayer I would like you to reach out and take my hand as if it were the hand of Jesus.”
Step #11
“Thank You Lord for saving Larry’s soul today. That his sins are forgiven and Heaven is his home.

Why (are you a saved person)?
When did you do that, Larry?
Where were you when you did that?
Where do saved people go when they die?
Then if you died right now, where would you go?
If you died tomorrow, where would you go?
