How to Become a Christian
God created you and everything in this world. God loves HIs creation. He loves his creation so much that He sent His only Son to earth to provide eternal life.
"....I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10.10
God Provides Eternal Life
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3.16
Ask yourself:
What prevents me from having Eternal life?
1. Sin
"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." Eccles. 7:20
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3.23
"But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you..." Isaiah 59.2
Ask yourself:
What do I deserve because I am a sinner?
2. Hell
"For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6.23
The bible tells us that we deserve death (spiritually) for our sin.
The Bible also tells us that our good deeds will not save us.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done.." Titus 3:5
Ask yourself:
Who can save me?
3. Jesus Christ
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19.10
Jesus died on the cross that we may be saved.
Ask yourself:
How can I be saved today?
4. Faith in Jesus
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10.9
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10.13
Faith is more than believing that Jesus died and rose. It's trust Him and Him alone for eternal life.
Would you like to be saved today?
You can pray a simple prayer as follows: (You can use the prayer below, but you must pray it to God yourself and mean it with all of your heart.)
Dear God,
I know that I am a sinner and on my way to Hell. I understand that I can't save myself and that I deserve Hell. I know that Jesus came and died for me and rose from the grave three days later. Forgive me of my sin and save me. Thank you for saving me God. AMEN.
If you trusted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, Congratulations! You are promised eternal life with Him in Heaven!
In your new life as a Christian you need to be obedient in the following areas:
1. Be baptized- this is obedience, not salvation. (Acts 8:35-40)
2. Join a local Bible believing Church. (Hebrews 10:25)
3. Study the Bible to grow as a new Christian. (2 Timothy 2:15)
4. Tell others about Jesus. (Matthew 28:19)
5. Pray to God often. Silently while working etc... (1 Thess. 5:17)
