How Can I Become a Christian?

SOMETHING TO ADMIT
Admit that you have sinned in the sight of God.
Own up to Him the many things in your life that you have said, thought, and done that you know deep down were wrong.
Be truly sorry for the times you have ignored His love and gone your own way.
Be willing to turn from every thought, work, action, and habit that you know to be wrong.

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE
Believe in Jesus Christ as the one who died on the cross bearing all the guilt and penalty of your sin.
We all deserve to be punished for the wrong we have done in God's sight.
Believe that Jesus took on Himself the punishment that you deserved.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
Consider that Jesus never promised that it would be easy to follow Him.
People will misunderstand you, laugh at you, and oppose you, just as they did Jesus himself.
Becoming a Christian means accepting Jesus as your Lord and Master.
This means that every part of your life - your work, your friendships, your time, your money - all must come under His control.

SOMETHING TO DO
Accept Jesus Christ into your life to be your Savior to rescue you, your Lord to control you, and your friend to be with you.
Think of Jesus knocking now, waiting to enter your life.
You have heard His voice and want with all your heart to know Him personally.

You might find this prayer helpful if you want to open your life to Jesus and invite Him in.
Pray it phrase by phrase, quietly, thoughtfully, thinking carefully about what you're saying and doing.

Lord Jesus Christ,
I know I have sinned against you in my thoughts, words, and actions.
There are so many good things I have not done.
Please forgive me.
I am sorry for my sins, and turn from everything I know to be wrong.
You gave your life upon the cross for me.
Gratefully I give my life back to you.
Now I ask you to come into my life.
Come in as my Savior to rescue me.
Come in as my Lord to control me.
Come in as my friend to be with me.
Thank you for hearing and answering me.
Amen.

If you have said this prayer and meant every word, you have asked Jesus Christ into your life and He has come.
He now lives in you by His Holy Spirit.

"If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in." (Revelation 3:30)

Jesus is God - when He makes a promise, He always keeps it.
Don't rely on your feelings. Trust His promise.
You are now a child of God, a real Christian.
You have been re-born.
