How do I become a Christian?
JOHN
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
ROMANS
10:9 If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED!
Jesus asked
Peter. ‘But who do you say that I am?’
Peter replied: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
So I ask you who do you think Jesus is?
What is your reply?
If you have come to the same conclusion as Peter, you are a few steps away from
having a personal relationship with our loving God. It is our sincere hope and
prayer that each of you reach this conclusion, for we know that true happiness,
joy and peace only come when we recognize our purpose for existing and yield our
wills to our Creator. As you will see, Christianity is not based on a religious
building, formula or ritual, it’s simply a matter of what you truly believe in
your heart.

Become a Christian: Step through the Gospel
First, you can be sure that God loves you unconditionally and desires to have a
personal relationship with you.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John
3:16).
Second, you need to admit your sinful nature to God, because this is what
separates all of us from Him.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
Third, you should stop trying to please God through your own efforts, and
realize that salvation through Jesus Christ is a free gift that none of us
deserves.
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Finally, you just need to step in and accept God’s free gift -- His Son, Jesus
Christ. His Loving Grace.
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children
of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
So, now you know the basic steps to become a Christian. As a result, if you
desire God’s free gift of eternal life and fellowship with Him, you are a
simple and sincere prayer away.
Jesus
said,
“I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me”
(John 14:6).
Jesus also said,
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and
opens the door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Jesus is a matter of asking Him to come into your life, to forgive
your sins, and asking him to become your Lord and Savior. It’s not merely an
intellectual undertaking, but rather, an act of faith and heart-felt will.
If you want to receive Jesus now, and accept His free gift of salvation,
here’s a basic prayer for you.
“God, I ask You to forgive me of my sins. I believe in Jesus Christ and in
His death on the cross for my sins. I ask You to enter my life right now, and
provide me strength as I commit my life to You this day. Thank You for loving me
before I even knew You. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Did you
become a Christian? Congratulations!
If you decided to pray that prayer and become a Christian, welcome to God’s
family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, we encourage you to simply follow
up on your commitment as follows:
Matthew 10:32, Jesus said Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
