How Can You Become A Christian?

Receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior is the most important decision you will ever make. If you want to experience the joy of being a Christian, please allow us to share with you these basic steps to peace with God.

1. Believe that God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Read about God's feeling for You.
   
   John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
   Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

   ---

2. Acknowledge that you are sinful and separated from God. See what God sees. He sees below the surface.
   
   Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
   John 3:3 - "In reply Jesus declared, 'I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.'"

   ---

3. Recognize that Jesus Christ is God's provision for man's sin.
   
   John 10:10-11 - "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

   ---

4. Trust Jesus Christ and receive Him by faith through God's promise.
   
   John 1:12-13 - "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."
   Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

5. If you agree with these principles and want to receive Christ, you can by praying this:
   
   "God, I don't fully understand Your ways, but I know I'm not perfect. Because of Jesus You say You want to wash away all my failures and selfishness that has created an emptiness in my heart. Wash those sins away, come into my heart, and make me the kind of person You want me to be. All because of Jesus Christ. Amen.
