Becoming a Christian: ...

If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way to salvation, and you are ready to make the decision to follow Christ, this simple explanation will walk you down the road to salvation:

A Christian is someone who has received the Lord Jesus as Savior (John 1:12), trusts Him alone for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 4:12), has put no trust in his own efforts (Isaiah 64:6) to please God, and repented from his/her sins (Mark 1:15).

The Lord made it so simple..."only believe" Please, Jesus waits...

The gospel is that Jesus died for sinners on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). His death was a sacrifice that turns away the wrath of God (1 John 2:2). This is the only way to be saved!

Jesus is the one who died for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). He is the only way to God the Father (John 1:6). He alone reveals God (Matthew 11:27). He has all authority in heaven and earth (Matthew 28:18). It is only through Him that you can be saved from God's wrath (Ephesians 2:3). He can forgive you of your sin (Luke 5:20; Matthew 9:2). He can remove the guilt that is upon your soul. Jesus can set you free from the bondage of sin that blinds your eyes, weakens your soul, and brings you to despair. He can do this because He bore sin in His body on the cross (1 Peter. 2:24), that those who trust in Him would be saved.

If you are not a Christian, and want to be delivered from the righteous judgment of God upon you, due to your sin against Him, then come to the One who died for the sins of the world. Come to the One who died for sinners (Matthew 11:28). Turn from your sins. Believe and trust in Jesus. Receive Jesus, who is God in flesh, who died and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) as your Lord and Savior. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins. Receive Christ (John 1:12). Only He can wash you clean from your sins and only Jesus can deliver you from the righteous judgment of a holy and infinite God. Pray to Jesus. Seek Him. Ask Him to save you. He will.

Here is a sample prayer you can offer to Jesus. It does not have to be exact, but you will get the idea.

Lord Jesus, I know that I have sinned against you. I know that I am not perfect and that I cannot please you through my own efforts. I know that I deserve to be judged according to my sins. And, I know that I have nothing to offer you. Lord Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Please cleanse me and make me right before you. I trust in what you have done on the cross. I do not rely on myself, but only on you and I receive you as Lord of my life and as Savior of my soul. Lord Jesus, save me. I look to you alone. Amen.
