| How to Become a Christian |
| Everyone is a sinner...
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (I John 1:8) God loves us and paid the sin debt for us... But God commendeth (demonstrated) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, (to die on the cross for our sins) that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, (spend an eternity in Hell) but have everlasting life (with God in Heaven). (John 3:16) God does not want anyone to go to hell... The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9) How does a person repent and receive forgiveness?... If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I John 1:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9, 10) The choice is ours; I hope you make the right one... For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) PLease Pray... Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again on the third day. Jesus please forgive me of all my sins, take my life, and guide me in the way I should live. Lord, I want to live for you. Thank you Lord for saving me. In Jesus� name I pray, Amen. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) |
