Salvation-How to Become a Christian

Becoming a Christian (or a believer in Jesus Christ) involves a heart decision and a prayer to God. It’s a simple, but profound heart decision. If your faith is real—if your heart is seeking Christ and believing on Him—the decision is easy enough to understand.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. And no one comes to the Father except by me. So Jesus has provided salvation for us. He died on the cross. He rose again, and He invites us to know Him. He said, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in.

 

Three Steps to Become a Christian:

A—Admit that I am a sinner ( Romans 3:23 , Romans 6:23 ).

B—Believe that Jesus is God’s Son, that He died for me, and that His death can save my soul ( John 3:16 , Romans 5:8-10 ).

C—Confess that He is my Lord and Savior ( Romans 10:9-13 ).

 

Please understand that prayer is merely a conversation between you and God. Express yourself and your thoughts and fears to God however you want. He will hear you and respond to you because He loves you ( Psalm 116:1 ). Here is a simple example for you to follow, but you can personalize it however you want:

 

Dear God, I understand that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, so I could be in a relationship with You and go to heaven. I’m sorry for living a life without You at the center. Please forgive me for all my sins. I want to follow You for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 

The salvation decision is the most important prayer you will ever say. It will define your entire life; you will never be the same. You will have a purpose for living and a Person to live for. You will experience new life on this earth and new life for eternity.
