how to become a Christian
A Christian is someone who has made a personal decision to follow Christ and make Him the Lord of his/her life
Jesus gave His life for us so that we might have salvation and a personal relationship with God.
We can't be half-hearted in our faith > every person needs to make a decision.
We have all sinned and therefore we are not perfect > we cannot come to God unless we are perfect like Him.
So it's impossible to come to God...right??
Wrong! Jesus died on a cross so that you could be free from your sin, breaking down the barrier between you and God.
But you need to ask Him to be your own personal Saviour > you need to believe that He is God and that He died to give you eternal life through Him.
How can you become a Christian?
You can pray humbly to God today, in your own words:
A admit that you are a sinner and that you need a Saviour
all have sinned and are not good enough for God's glory (Romans//3:23)
B believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord
God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only
Son so that whoever believes in Him may not be lost, but have
eternal life (John//3:16)
C confess your sins and commit your life to Him
if we confess our sins, He will forgive our sins (1John//1:9)
D don't wait until tomorrow
following Jesus is not the easiest life but it's the best life!
make sure you tell another Christian if you make this decision > go along to a Christian church to find out more about the Christian faith
