The ABC's of Becoming A Christian
A - Admit you are a sinner
Romans
3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
We
have to agree with God that we have sinned, and we have to recognize that
this sin separates us from God.
We
need to repent from those sins.
B - Believe in Jesus as your
Savior
John
3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in
Him
shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Jesus
is God's one and only Son. He became a man, died on the cross, and
rose again.
You
deserve to be punsihed for your sins, but Jesus took that punishment for
you.
If
you ask Jesus to forgive you, He will. He wants to be the Savior
of your life.
C - Confess Jesus As Lord
Romand
10:9 says, "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe
in your heart that
God
raised him from the daed, you will be saved."
Once
you accept Jesus as your Savior, He wants you to tell others of your decision
If you are ready to accept Jesus as your Savior,
all you have to do is ask Him. The following is a sample prayer of
how to do that, but you can put it in your own words.
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need
forgiveness. I believe you died on the cross for me. I want
to turn from my sin. I invite you into my life to be Lord and Savior.
In Jesus' Name. Amen."
If you have invited Jesus into your heart, I would
love to hear from you. Please e-mail at jmnation@nationfamily.net and
tell me the good news!
