How
to Become a Christian
There is only one way to have
everlasting life. There is only one way to live forever and be
assured that you will always be with the Lord. There is only
one way to the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. There
is only one way to the Father and that one way is Jesus.
God loved you so much that He
sent Jesus to earth to pay the price for your sins and make a
way for you to live forever with Him. He paid the price you
could not pay. He made a way of escape from the bondage of sin
and death.
Receiving the gift of
salvation is simple. It basically involves 5 steps. Read these
steps and the scriptures. Then pray and accept the gift of
salvation.
Step #1
You Must Believe in Jesus
"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. For God did not send His Son into the world
to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
saved."
John
3:16-17
"Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your
household."
Acts
16:31
Step #2
You Must Confess Your Sins
You must acknowledge that you
are a sinner and you want Jesus to wash your sins away.
If
we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1
John 1:9
Step
#3 You Must Repent (Turn
away from your sins)
For
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans
6:23
The
time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent
and believe in the gospel.
Mark
1:15
Step #4
You Must Confess Jesus Before Men
If
you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe
in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
Romans
10:9-10
Step #5
You Must Accept the Gift of Salvation
For
by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Ephesians
2:8
But
as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, to those who believe in His name:
John
1:12
Behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation
2
Corinthians 6:2
Pray
this Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come in the Name of Jesus. I thank you for sending your Son,
Jesus, into this world to die and for raising Him from the
dead so that I can have everlasting life.
I recognize Jesus as my
Savior and as the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins and I
forgive those who have wronged me. I believe in my heart and I
will confess openly my belief in Jesus.
Thank you for forgiving me of
my sins and giving me eternal life.
I receive this gift by faith,
In Jesus' name, Amen
"I say to you that
likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who
repents that over ninety-nine just persons who need no
repentance." -Jesus
Now that you have made Jesus
the Lord of your life take a minute and send us a "Praise
Report" and let us know so that we may rejoice with
you. We at the Word of Faith Network will be praying for
you and we are here to help you in your spiritual growth.
