How to Become A
Christian?
You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He
wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. There is just one
thing that separates you from God. That one thing is sin.
People tend to divide themselves into groups - good
people and bad people. But God says that every person that has ever
lived is a sinner, and any sin separates us from God. That
includes you and me.
"For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
According to man's rules,
people should be punished or rewarded according to how good they are,
and it might be hard for you to understand how Jesus could love you when
other people don't seem to. But I have great news for you! Jesus DOES
love you! More than you can ever imagine! And there's nothing you can do
to make him stop!
Are you thinking that you should make things right in
your life before you come to Jesus? Many people feel that way, but
that's not what God says!
"God demonstrates
His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died
for us." Romans 5:8
For you to come to God you
have to get rid of your sin problem. But God says that you can't make
yourself right with God by being a better person. God wants to save you
JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He saved
us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His
mercy." Titus 3:5
It's God's grace that allows you to come to Him - not
your efforts to "clean up your life" or work your way to Heaven. You
can't earn it. It's a free gift.
"For it is by
grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to come to God, your sin must be paid for. God's
gift to you is His son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.
"For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our
Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine
by giving His life on Calvary's cross. God brought Jesus back from the
dead and paved the way for you to have a personal relationship with Him
through Jesus.
All that's
left for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding out for
you right now.
"If you confess
with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you
confess and are saved." Romans 10:9-10
God says that if you believe in His son, Jesus, you can
live forever with Him in glory.
"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
Are you ready to accept the
gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right now? If it is your
sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your personal
Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart:
Here's a Suggested Prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not
deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to
purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take
control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now placing my
trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free gift of
eternal life."
