Let’s break down the steps of the Sinner’s Prayer as outlined possibly by the FCPO :

1. Acknowledge Your Transgression:

   • This step emphasizes recognizing the reality of our wrongdoing. It’s based on Romans 4:23, which states, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

   • As officers, acknowledging our imperfections and transgressions is essential. We recognize that we are not exempt from making mistakes or falling short.

2. Trust in Jesus’ Sacrifice:

   • Trusting that Jesus, the Heavenly Father’s Son, paid the price for our sins is crucial. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

   • Just as we trust our fellow officers in critical situations, we place our trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for our spiritual well-being.

3. Admit Jesus as Lord:

   • Romans 10:9-13 explains this step: “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.”

   • As officers, we understand the significance of authority. Acknowledging Jesus as the ultimate authority in our lives aligns with our commitment to serve and protect.

4. Read the Sinner’s Prayer:

   • The Sinner’s Prayer is a heartfelt communication with God. It’s based on John 3:15-17, which speaks of God’s love and salvation through Jesus.

   • The prayer you’ve shared is a beautiful expression of repentance, faith, and surrender. It acknowledges Jesus’ sacrifice, resurrection, and lordship.

Sinner’s Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to you in prayer, intentionally and voluntarily changing my feelings and attitude regarding all my offenses and transgressions. I confess with my mouth and believe with my heart that Jesus is your Son. He died on the Cross at Calvary so that I might be forgiven and have Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I accept as true that your Son came back to life and was raised to heaven. With that same power of resurrection, I ask that you come into me to be my one and only God and Redeemer. I feel sorry for all my transgressions and will exalt you for the rest of my existence. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
