HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN:
Christianity is not a religion. It is a personal relationship with God and you can know Him for yourself.
“For now we are all children of God through faith in Jesus Christ…” —Galatians 3:26
Becoming a Christian means discovering your purpose in life.
“Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be His through our union with Christ ..because of His love…. This was His pleasure and purpose.” —Ephesians 1:4-5
There are tremendous benefits to a relationship with God.
Joy, Self-control, Patience, Peace (Galatians 5:2)
A clear conscience (Romans 8:1)
God’s help when I’m weak (Romans 8:26)
Confidence (Romans 8:31)
Eternal life (John 3:15-17)
Why is it most people don’t experience this? We all have a natural desire to be in control.
“All have sinned and fall short of God’s glorious ideal.” —Romans 3:23 (LB)
When we have problems, we often try different coping strategies before turning to God.
“There is a way that seems right to man, but they end in death.” —Proverbs 16:25
So what IS the solution? God Himself came to earth as a human being to bring us back to Himself. The way to God is a person:
Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” —John 14:6
“God is on one side and all the people are on the other side, and Christ Jesus is between them to bring them together, by giving His life for all mankind.” —1 Timothy 2:5
God has already done everything necessary for us to experience:
Freedom from guilt through forgiveness
Eternal life
A personal relationship with Him
An abundant life!
If you’d like to become a Christian and begin a new life with God, you can do it right now if you’ll pray this prayer:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I’m a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins.I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
If you’ve made this commitment to Christ, please be sure to let us know. We want to share in your new life with Jesus Christ!
Knowing your sins are forgiven and you are ready for heaven is as simple as the following steps:
A. Admit you have sinned…..
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8).
B. Believe in Jesus…..
“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).
C. Confess and leave your sin…..
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
You might want to use the following prayer as a guide:
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I’m a sinner, and I’m sorry for my sin. Thank You for dying on the Cross for me. Please forgive me of my sin, and accept me as Your child. I desire to live for You, Jesus. Amen.
Congratulations on becoming a part of God’s forever family. Obviously this is only a first step. Should you like to know more about your decision please contact us.
