How to Become a Christian

Many people think that to be a Christian all you have to do is go to church, be good person, or believe in God. As good as it is to do these things, these things alone will not make you a Christian.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast. (NKJV)

To be saved from your sins is the same as to be a Christian. And how is it that we become a Christian? “BY GRACE”. The Bible clearly defines the way to become a Christian. We like to call it, “The ABC’s of Salvation”.

a

  • “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” I John 1:8 (NKJV)

b

  • “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV )

c

  • “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV)

Now that you know the “The ABC’s for Salvation” I would like for you to pray a simple prayer. If you pray this prayer, and believe it, you become a Christian.

Pray This: Dear Heavenly Father I come to you in the name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus died and rose again and I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Jesus I confess you as Lord of my Life Thank you for saving me.I love you, Jesus. Amen

Here is a list of scriptures on the subject of salvation from our sins.

Romans 3:10 As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one; (NKJV)

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (NKJV)

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (NKJV)

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NKJV)

Matthew 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (In some Bibles The words Of Jesus appear in red.) (NKJV)

Matthew 10:32-33 Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. (NKJV)

John 3:2-6 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (NKJV)

(To be born again is the same as to be saved from your sins)

Acts 4:10-12 Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (NKJV)

I Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (NKJV)
