How to Become a Christian

What Is a Christian

Being a Christian means you recognize you are a sinner in need of a Savior, who takes your place, and pays the penalty for your sins, restoring you to God the Creator and eternal life.

A Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ the Savior, the only begotten Son of God, and follows His teachings recorded in the Bible.

Christians live with faith in God, and in their faith, they trust in God with all their heart. They live as the Bible teaches through the empowering and enabling strength of Jesus Christ, the Savior, Deliverer, and Redeemer.

Why Be A Christian

God created our universe, He made our world, and formed human beings. In the beginning we were perfect; but that all changed when sin entered our world, which brought disease, death, and eternal loss.

The first earthly pair brought sin into our world through rebellion against God; and their rebellion, which is sin, brought death.

Sin is rebellion against God and His government, against His law, and against His will. God is life, He is the Life-giver. Sin separates us from God and brings death. When we are separated from our life source death ensues; it is the natural consequence of sin.

Although Eve and Adam are responsible for bringing sin into our world, every human being has participated in sin ever since. The Bible says we have all have sinned (Romans3:23).

Because we all sin, because sin brings death, both temporal and eternal, we need a solution, we need to be reconciled to our Creator. Our rebellion against God, which is sin, necessitates our redemption. We need to be brought back to God from whom we have separated ourselves.

Our Need For God

Look around our world and examine your own life. What you will notice is continual problems and trouble. We do damage; we destroy, we do wrong, we harm and cause pain, all because we prefer our will, and our way.

The truth is, only God knows the right way; and this is very evident in our world, and in our lives. The fact of the matter is, we are in a state of unrest; our world is unstable and turbulent. This planet is in turmoil and so are we; and we have no lasting solution. We need to come back to God, to be reconciled to our Creator.

God Loves You

Because we cannot live without our life source, although we act as if we can, we need a way back to God, the Life-giver. God never intended for us to die. Death entered our world because of sin.

Although we rebelled against our Creator and separated ourselves from Him, He loves us, and does not want us to be lost in sin and death. God wants us to come back to Him, to be reconciled with Him.

Just as a rebellious child runs away, and the parents so love the child that they do not want him or her wayward, they want the child back, so it is with God, our heavenly Father.

Because God loves us so much, because He cares so deeply for us, He made a way of escape, a way out of sin and death. His Son Jesus came to take our place. Jesus took our place and paid the penalty for our sins, so we do not have to be lost eternally, so we do not have to live in sin all our earthly days.

Prayer for Salvation

Dear Heavenly Father, I realize I am a sinner in need of Your Son Jesus. Forgive me for all my sins. Please Lord God. Please forgive me for hurting You, for hurting others, and for hurting myself. I need You, and I want You in my life.

Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for me. Please come into my heart, and into my life. Please be my Lord and Savior. I need You, and I want You in my life. I commit my life to You Lord Jesus. Please be with me all the days of my life, and help me live as You would have me live. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and teach me how to live as I should, every day.

Thank You Lord God. With all my heart, I thank You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Living A Christian Life

Becoming and living as a Christian is the most important, most excellent, and best thing anyone can ever do. Being a Christian means living a quality, wholesome life by living in the will and ways of God. It means turning away from the things that are sinful and turning to Jesus who is sinless, every day.

Jesus holds all the power you need to be the best version of you. Jesus will take away your sins, and He will help you live a life of growth in uprightness. Daily, as you walk with Him, He will strengthen you for the challenges you face in overcoming sin, self, and satan.

Jesus came to save us from our sins, and from eternal death. He shows us how to live a godly life, and He helps us to live that life every day. Trust Jesus to help you. Believe Him. Keep Him in your heart, and fix your eyes on His ways. "My child, give Me your heart, and let your eyes observe My ways." Proverbs23:26.

Read the Bible every day; morning is best. Begin and end each day in prayer with God. When you pray, let it be in humble adoration to God, with respect and thankfulness to Him.

Trust God. Read. Pray.

Trust God for the answers you need. Share your concerns and joys with the Lord. Believe He hears you, and know He will answer. Pray throughout the day.

Read the Bible every day to learn about God, to learn what He wants and expects, and to learn what you can expect from Him. Start at the beginning of the Bible and read to the end. Read at least a chapter a day. Pray before you read asking God for His understanding.

Remember this, you are loved by God, deeply and dearly! He cares about you and about your life. Trust in Him completely for all the answers and help you need. Jesus died for You. He loves you!
