How May I Become a Christian ?
Receiving Jesus Christ as your
Savior and confessing Him as the Lord of your life are the most important acts
you or anyone else will ever do.
First, the bad news.
"All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "If we
say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (I John
1:8).
Sin separates us from God.
"Your sins have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have
hid his face from you" (Isaiah 59:2).
Now, the good news.
GOD LOVES YOU! "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that
whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
God did for us what we could
never do for ourselves. "For by grace you have been saved through
faith; and this is not your own doing. It is the gift of God - not because
of works lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
God sent Jesus to save us from
our sins by his death and resurrection. "God shows his love for us in
that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "He died
for our sins and rose again to make us right with God" (Romans 4:25).
You can accept Jesus as your
Lord and Savior by believing in him, repenting of your sins, and being baptized
in his name. "If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"
(Romans 10:9, 10). "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name
of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven. And you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).
We would like the joy of assisting
you in this eternally important matter. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions that you may have.
