Becoming A Christian

 

Why Are We Here?

Simply put, we are here to walk in a daily relationship with our heavenly father. There is only ONE way to him, Jesus. The decision to follow Jesus Christ is the most important one you will ever make. It’s not just about embracing a belief system; it’s about entering into a life-transforming relationship with the Creator of the universe. Here are some compelling reasons why you should choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and actionable steps to guide you on this journey:

Why Choose Jesus?

  • He Offers Eternal Life Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). By choosing Him, you receive the gift of eternal life and a place in heaven.
  • He Brings True Peace In a world full of chaos, Jesus provides peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). He calms the storms of life and offers rest for your soul.
  • He Loves You Unconditionally Jesus demonstrated His love by dying on the cross for your sins (Romans 5:8). His love is perfect, unfailing, and unchanging.
  • He Gives Purpose and Hope Life without Christ can feel empty and directionless. Jesus gives you a purpose to live for and hope for a future filled with His promises (Jeremiah 29:11).
  • He Forgives All Sins No matter what you’ve done, Jesus is ready to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Through Him, you can experience true freedom.


    How to Be Saved in Jesus' Name

    Acknowledge Your Need for a Savior

    Recognize that you are a sinner and need Jesus to save you. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

    Believe in Jesus Christ Believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again. “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” (Romans 10:9).

    Repent of Your Sins Turn away from sin and turn toward God. Repentance is a change of heart and mind that leads to a transformed life (Acts 3:19).

    Confess Your Faith Confess your belief in Jesus publicly. Let others know that He is your Lord and Savior (Matthew 10:32).

    Invite Jesus into Your Heart Pray and invite Jesus into your life. A simple prayer of salvation can be:

     

     

    “Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again. I repent of my sins and invite You into my heart. Be my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You all the days of my life. In Your name, I pray. Amen.” 

    Get Baptized Baptism is a public declaration of your faith and a symbol of dying to your old life and being raised to new life in Christ (Acts 2:38)
