To become a Christian means a person must become a follower of Jesus Christ. You must start a one-on-one relationship with Jesus and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
His Forgiveness Is A Free Gift!
Anyone who thinks they can get to Heaven in any way but the way God says in His Word is deceived. Friend, I hope you will stop being deceived. You don’t have to stay deceived.
Will You Receive It?
In order to know Jesus, you need your sins forgiven, which will also bring you peace inside now and legally help you avoid hell when you die.
You must recognize who Jesus is and accept His payment for your sin debt for those things to happen.
We must attain redemption through the shed blood of Jesus. Colossians 1:14
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;. Romans 3:23
God says that all human beings are sinners and we all deserve His divine wrath, which He calls hell. There are ultimately only two kinds of human beings:
Forgiven and unforgiven.
It Is Simple If You Aren’t Self-Righteous.
This is a pretty simple but thorough list of facts given by God that every true Christian believes. There is a little overlap for emphasis and your understanding.
1. Recognize that Jesus was and is the God-man, perfect and sinless; He shed His blood for you and gave Himself to die on the cross because He loves you. (John 3:16), (Rev. 1:5)
2. Acknowledge your sin. Romans 3:23 and that you have rebelled against God. Daniel 9:9
3. Understand that Jesus paid for your sins on the cross—past, present, and future sins—by sacrificing Himself on your behalf and that He proved He was God by rising from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15: 3-4), (Romans 10:9-10)
4. Tell Jesus you believe Him and His Word, out loud or in quiet prayer, that you accept His payment for your sins and receive Him as Lord and Savior. (Romans 10:9-10), (John 1:12)
5. Then Understand that your trust in Jesus alone is sufficient, not of any good works you could ever do. Faith in Him alone is the only way to make you acceptable before God the Father(who is also Holy) to enjoy heaven forever. (Galatians 2:16) (Galatians 3:11) (Titus 3:5)
Trusting Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is the answer. He is Lord. His sinless life, His death, and resurrection are payment and proof He is God the Son.
Do you believe those facts? Do you know you have eternal life?
Make it official if you have any doubts about your soul and salvation.
Tell God what He asked you to confess. Pray a prayer similar to the one below:
This below is often referred to as the sinner’s prayer. It is a collection of scriptural facts from the Bible, like some of the ones I listed above, condensed into a prayer.
Please make peace with God today.
The words in the prayer alone won’t save you. It is ONLY BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU ARE PRAYING that saves you because you are confessing faith in Jesus Christ and His payment for your sins on the cross!
“God, I admit to you that I am a sinner, and I know I cannot do anything to earn my way into your kingdom. I truly believe that Your Son Jesus died on the cross for me, was buried, and rose from the grave. I put my faith in His sacrifice to pay for my sin debt in full.”
In Jesus Name, Amen!
