Becoming A Christian
- To become a Christian a person must first realize that he or she is "lost" totally estranged from God, seperated from God by a sinful nature. Get a Bible, the history of God's relationship with humankind, and read Roman 3:23 "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." (NIV)
|
- A person alone can not reconcile the lost relationship bewteen himself or herself and God. To provide a remedy, God sent his one and only Son, Jesus, to live the perfect life God demands. Roman 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
|
- Although humanity through sin has seperated itself from God, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross bridged that gap. Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this; While we were still sinners Christ died for us."
|
- All that God asks is that a man or woman repent of his or her sins, turn from them and accept the sacrafice Christ made on the cross for those sins. Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in you heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
|
- God promises in the Bible that anyone who accepts Christ as Savior shall be saved. Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." A person who accepts Christ as Savior should follow him in believer's baptism by immersion in water and join the fellowship of a church of like minded believers. Matthew 28:19 "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
