How to
Become a Christian
God has given
everyone a FREE gift of salvation--all you have to do is accept it!
Becoming a Christian
is the most important decision anyone can ever make.
What does the Bible
say about becoming a Christian?
God loves you.
"This is love: Not that we loved God, but that he loved us."
1 John 4:10
Sin separates you from God.
Sin is not doing what God wants you to do. You sin when you disobey
God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
God sent Jesus so you would not
have to die for your sin. Jesus died on the cross, He was buried and He
rose from the dead.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
So...How do I become a Christian?
IT'S AS EASY AS A-B-C
A—ADMIT
Admit to God that you are a sinner (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23). Repent,
turning away from your sin (Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9)
B---BELIEVE
Believe that Jesus is God’s Son and accept God’s gift of forgiveness
from sin (Romans 5:8; Acts 4:12; John 3:16; John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9;
John 1:11-13).
C---CONFESS
Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9-10,
13).
Is it time for you to become a
Christian?
God’s Holy Spirit will help you know if you are ready to become a
Christian. If it is not time for you to become a Christian, put this away
until later. If it is time for you to become a Christian, pray a prayer
such as the one below.
Dear God:
I know I have sinned and that my sin separated me from you. I am sorry
for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sin can be
forgiven. I believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive. God, please
forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior and Lord.
I will obey you and live for you the rest of my life.
Thank you.
Amen
