The Bible teaches that if you pray a prayer like the one that follows, and mean it in your heart, you’ll be with God in heaven someday. Read it. Think about it. Believe it. Then pray it and mean it. And, we’ll see you in heaven someday.
Dear God, I desire to be at peace with You and to become Your child. I’m sorry for all of my past deeds which were not pleasing to You. I now want to live with Your help as You want me to live. I acknowledge that You sent Your Son Jesus Christ into this world, and that He died for the complete forgiveness of my sins. I believe that after He was buried, He was raised from the dead and is now seated at Your right hand. I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I believe that the death of Jesus Christ alone makes me right with You. Thank You for accepting me as Your child because of what Jesus Christ did for me.
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You welcome me to Yourself and that You won’t cast me out no matter how much I have sinned before. I now want to live as You want me to live. I place my entire life into Your hands. I believe that You give me eternal life. You are able to keep me forever. No one is able to take me out of Your hands. You now acknowledge openly before God in heaven that I belong to You because I acknowledge openly before man on earth that You are my Lord.
I believe in my heart what I have said with my mouth, and so I have become God’s adopted child. Now God truly is my heavenly Father. Therefore, I’m going to be with God in heaven someday.
