| How
to Become A Christian
You're
not here by accident. Jesus
loves you, and He wants you
to have a personal
relationship with Him. There
is just one thing that
separates you from God. That
one thing is sin.
People
tend to divide themselves
into groups - good people
and bad people. But God says
that every person that has
ever lived is a sinner, and any
sin separates us from God.
That includes you and me.
"For
all have sinned and come
short of the glory of
God." Romans 3:23
According
to man's rules, people
should be punished or
rewarded according to how
good they are, and it might
be hard for you to
understand how Jesus could
love you when other people
don't seem to. But I have
great news for you! Jesus
DOES love you! More than you
can ever imagine! And
there's nothing you can do
to make him stop!
Are
you thinking that you should
make things right in your
life before you come to
Jesus? Many people feel that
way, but that's not what God
says!
"God
demonstrates His own love
for us in this: While we
were still sinners, Christ
died for us." Romans
5:8
For
you to come to God you have
to get rid of your sin
problem. But God says that
you can't make yourself
right with God by being a
better person. God wants to
save you JUST BECAUSE HE
LOVES YOU!
"He
saved us, not because of
righteous things we had
done, but because of His
mercy." Titus 3:5
It's
God's grace that allows you
to come to Him - not your
efforts to "clean up
your life" or work your
way to Heaven. You can't
earn it. It's a free gift.
"For
it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith - and
this not from yourselves, it
is the gift of God - not by
works, so that no one can
boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For
you to come to God, your sin
must be paid for. God's gift
to you is His son, Jesus,
who paid the debt for you.
"For
the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is
eternal life in Jesus Christ
our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus
paid the price for your sin
and mine by giving His life
on Calvary's cross. God
brought Jesus back from the
dead and paved the way for
you to have a personal
relationship with Him
through Jesus.
All that's left for you
to do is to accept the gift
that Jesus is holding out
for you right now.
"If
you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord,"
and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. For
it is with your heart that
you believe and are
justified, and it is with
your mouth that you confess
and are saved." Romans
10:9-10
God
says that if you believe in
His son, Jesus, you can live
forever with Him in glory.
"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."
John 3:16
Are
you ready to accept the gift
of eternal life that Jesus
is offering you right now?
If it is your sincere desire
to ask Jesus to come into
your heart as your personal
Lord and Savior, then talk
to God from your heart:
Here's
a Suggested Prayer:
"Lord
Jesus, I know that I am a
sinner and I do not deserve
eternal life. But, I believe
You died and rose from the
grave to purchase a place in
Heaven for me. Jesus, come
into my life, take control
of my life, forgive my sins
and save me. I am now
placing my trust in You
alone for my salvation and I
accept your free gift of
eternal life."
If
you have trusted Jesus as
your Lord and Savior, please
let us know. We want to
rejoice in what God has done
in your life and help you to
grow spiritually.
