Becoming a Christian is as easy as "A-B-C". A: Admit that you are a sinner and have sinned against God. Sin is what separates us from having a right relationship with God. God hates sin but loves all and desires a relationship with you! You need to be forgiven of your sin. The bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. No sin is too great to be forgiven. It doesn't matter how bad you think you are or what you have done. In God's eyes, telling a lie and murder are the same. Sin is sin and God forgives all sins if you accept that forgiveness that he freely offers everyone. So what is stopping you? B: Believe that Jesus is God in the flesh, walked the earth, died on the cross, and on the third day, He was raised from the dead. Jesus is the only one who can bridge the gap between us and God. Accepting Jesus as your savior is what allows us to have a right relationship with God. There is no other way! The bible says that no one comes to the father except through the son. Jesus is God's son and took God's wrath for your sin. That is love in the highest form. The bible also says that no man has greater love than this, that one lays down his life for his friends. Jesus willingly gave his life so you could have life eternally with Him in Heaven. When was the last time anyone loved you that much? C: Confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Give your life to Christ and live for Him, afterall, He died for you. The bible says that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, you will be forgiven of your sins. Be careful on this step though, it is life changing. If you like the rut that you are in, then this isn't for you. Giving your life to Jesus is the most important decision that you will ever make. Do you feel like something is missing in your life? Are you living with joy? or do you struggle through every day? Jesus is the answer to all of your problems. Your life will never be perfect, but living for Christ makes everything easier to handle because God understands you. Give all your problems, even your hopes and dreams, to God. God is in control and He has a plan for your life. God has a purpose for you. What are you waiting for? So what do you need to do? Follow the "A-B-C"s of becoming a Christian and pray to ask Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior. Here is an example of a prayer that will begin your journey as a Christian. Dear Lord, I admit that I am a sinner and have sinned against you. Please forgive me of my sins. I will turn away from my sin and do my best to live my life in obedience to you. I believe with all my heart that Jesus is your son and died on the cross for my sins. Jesus, I ask that you come into my heart and I confess you as my Lord and Savior. I give my life to you and will serve you. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen. That's it! You are forgiven of your sins, all your sins. That means past, present, and future. That doesn't mean that you are off of the hook though. This is just the beginning of your new life in Christ as a Christian. Now you should look for a good, bible-believing church to grow in your new life. Read the bible, pray, and seek to figure out God's purpose for your life. Also share with others what God has done for you. Remember that God desires a relationship. It is not about religion and we are all equal in God's eyes. God loves you. We pray that God blesses you beyond your wildest dreams! Feel free to contact us with questions and please share with us your decision to accept Christ as your Savior. |
