BECOMING A CHRISTIAN

Have you asked yourself...

“How can I become a Christian”? or “How can I get to heaven?” or “What must I do to be saved?”

​

In the Bible, a jail-keeper once asked the same question, “What must I do to be saved?” The answer given to him and the answer given to you is the same: “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved!” (Acts 16:30, 31)

​

Each one of us has broken God’s law and sinned against God and others. We justly deserve God’s judgment and condemnation. The Good News of the Holy Scriptures is that Jesus took the penalty for all sins and paid the price through his death and suffering on the cross. His resurrection from the dead proves that His sacrifice was accepted. As you TRUST Jesus for your forgiveness, and as you trust Jesus as your Savior from sin and death, you become a Christian. You receive the FREE GIFT of forgiveness and eternal life.

​

This promise is described in John 3:16: “God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

​

As a Christian, you will want to nourish and strengthen your faith. Reading God’s Word, Baptism, The Lord’s Supper, prayer and worship in a Christ-centered church, are essential elements for keeping and growing in faith.

 

Ask God for help:

Dear Heavenly Father,
I have sinned against you and I am sincerely sorry for my sins. I believe that Jesus died to take away my sins and that you have forgiven me all my sins. I thank you for giving me the assurance that when I die, a heavenly home awaits me. Please help me grow in faith. Help me to amend my sinful ways. I ask this in the wonderful name of my Savior, Jesus. Amen.

​
