How Do I Become A Christian?
There is only one way to have everlasting life. There is only one way to live forever
and be assured that you will always be with the Lord. There is only one way to the
kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. There is only one way to the Father and
that one way is Jesus Christ.
God loved you so much that He sent Jesus to earth to pay the price for your sins
and make a way for you to live forever with Him. He paid the price you could not
pay. He made a way of escape from the bondage of sin and death.
Receiving the gift of salvation is simple. You need only understand that man is
born with a sin nature. This is because by being born of man and woman we are all
children of Adam. As such all men (and women) are sinners. It is in the blood that
runs through our bodies. It is only by acknowledging the blood Christ shed on the
cross for us that our sin can be cleansed. Why only the blood of Jesus? Because
Jesus was not born of man and woman, but a virgin woman only and therefore does
not have the blood of man (Adam). By not having the blood of Adam, Jesus was able
to be born without the sin nature, and His blood was pure. The blood of His sacrifice
at Calvary is able to cleanse away our sin when we follow the steps listed
below:
Step #1 You Must Believe in Jesus Christ.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send
His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might
be saved." (John 3:16-17)
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
(Acts 16:31)
Step #2 You Must Confess Your Sin. You must acknowledge that you are a sinner
and you want Jesus to wash your sins away.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1
John 1:9)
Step #3 You Must Repent (Turn away from your sins).
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans
6:23) "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent
and believe in the gospel." (Mark 1:15)
Step #4 You Must Confess Jesus.
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one
believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
(Romans 10:9-10)
Step #5 You Must Accept the Gift of Salvation.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God." (Ephesians
2:8)
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children
of God, to those who believe in His name." (John
1:12)
"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
(2 Corinthians 6:2)
