HOW TO BECOME
A CHRISTIAN 1.
- .
-
- 1. Admit your need - "I am a sinner". - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom. 3:23.
- .
- 2. Realize that the penalty for sin is death. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:23.
- .
- 3. Jesus paid our debt to God for OUR sin. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. Rom. 5:8. Why? For God so loved the world ( i.e. you) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
- .
- 4. Salvation is a free gift. For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not
of works, lest anyone should boast. Eph. 2:8-9.
- .
- 5. Jesus is our Savior and our Salvation. "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved," John.
10:9.
- .
- 6. We must repent and receive him. But 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.
- .
- 7. Through the following prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as
Lord and Savior.)
- .
- -Pray this prayer. "Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn
from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I will trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen"

- .
- 2. You have been "born again"... "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have
written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of
God." 1 John. 5:12-13.

- .
- 1. Tell another Christian about your decision.
