- HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR -
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a "Sinners Prayer," is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don’t know what to pray, here’s a salvation prayer that you can follow:
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!

~ Problems: A Sign Of The Times - Past
Jesus was talking specifically about "the days before the flood" (verse 38). Something about how people were living in the days preceding the Flood would be a sign for the generation living in the days before Jesus’ return to earth. The obvious question is, how were people living in the days before the Flood?
Thankfully Jesus tells us: "They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark" (verse 38). We could be forgiven for asking Jesus, "Isn’t this what people do—eat, drink, marry, and get on with life? How is this a sign of anything?"
Let’s look more closely at the days before the Flood swept over the earth. This wasn’t a human population innocently multiplying and filling the earth as God had commanded (Genesis 1:28). Instead, "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5). In other words, humanity was ignoring God and living only for themselves. "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. . . . for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth" (Genesis 6:11-12).
So why did Jesus use such innocent sounding words to describe the days of Noah—eating, drinking, marrying? Because it’s a sign—an illustration of mankind’s total absorption in their own affairs, their own interests, their own pleasures. It’s an image of carnality as opposed to spirituality; it’s an image of self-centeredness instead of God-centeredness.
The sinfulness of that generation brought about God’s judgment—but the people in the days of Noah were blind. They were blind to their sin, to God’s righteousness, and to the way of escape God was providing: Noah was building an ark, but nobody took him seriously. It was not "until the flood came and took them all away" (Matthew 24:39) that their eyes were opened. And Jesus said, "So also will the coming of the Son of Man be" (verse 39).
