How to Become A Christian

Jesus Christ was with God the Father before the world was created. He became human and lived among humanity as Jesus of Nazareth. He came to show us what God the Father is like.He lived a sinless life, showing us how to live; and He died upon a cross to pay for our sins.God raised Him from the dead.

Jesus is the source of eternal life, and He wants to be the doorway to new life for you. In the Bible, He is called the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29). In the Old Testament, sacrifices were made for the sins of the people.Jesus became the sacrificial lamb offered for your sin.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" ( John 14:6). He is waiting for you now.

A - Admit
Admit to God that you are a sinner.Repent, turning away from your sin. (Romans 3:23, Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9)

B - Believe
Believe that Jesus is God's Son and accept God's gift of forgiveness from sin.(Acts 16:31;Acts 4:12; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-9)

C - Confess
Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. (Romans 10:9-10,13)

You may pray a prayer similar to this as you call on God to save you:
"Dear God, I know that you love me. I confess my sin and need salvation. I turn away from sin and place my faith In Jesus as my Savior and Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, amen."
