How to Become a Christian

GOD'S LOVE REVEALED
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. John 3:16

God loves you and all of mankind. He wants to bless your life and make it 
full and complete. He offers you not only an abundant life here and now, 
but a life which is eternal with Him.

MAN IS SINFUL
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:32

The saying, Well, we are just human - nobody is perfect, is Biblically sound. 
When we acknowledge this truth, we can see our separation from God, for He is holy.

SIN HAS A PENALTY
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God 
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

To continue in sin will result in spiritual death, which is separation from 
God forever. The alternative is to personally receive God's free 
gift, which is pardon for sin and provision of life everlasting.

CHRIST PAID THE PENALTY
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, 
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

You may think you must lead a good life and do charitable acts before God 
will love you. This is not so. God loves you even in your sin. He sent 
Christ to die in you place and to pay the penalty for your sin so that 
you can be reconciled to Him.

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT
For by grace you have been saved through faith, 
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest 
any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8,9

Grace means undeserved favor. God graciously offers to you what you could never 
do for yourself. God's gift to you is free. You do not, and cannot, work 
for a gift. All you need to do is receive it. Believe with all you heart 
that Jesus Christ died for you to provide deliverance form your sins.

WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST
But as many as received (Christ), to them 
He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe 
in His name. John 1:12

When you receive Christ - when you accept what He has done for you - you become 
a child of God. Picture, if you will Jesus Christ standing at the door 
of your life. Invite Him in. He is waiting to be received into your life.

RECEIVE CHRIST RIGHT NOW!
You can invite Jesus Christ into your life right 
now by praying to God something like the following: Dear Lord, I know 
that I am a sinner and that I need Your forgiveness. I believe that Christ 
died in my place to pay the penalty for my sin and that He rose from the 
dead. I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my life as my Lord and Savior. 
Thank you for forgiving me and giving me eternal life. Fill me with Your 
Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name, Amen.
