How can I become a Christian?


Jesus bridged the gap.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He is the source of real peace: the peace of God. This peace comes from knowing that your sins are forgiven and you will go to paradise. It is a peace that sustains you through the difficulties and frustrations of life. The Bible says that you must be at peace with God through the death and resurrection of Jesus, before you can know the peace of God. When Jesus died on the cross, He reconciled sinners to God. He took the wrath of God against our sin upon Himself, so that those who believe in Him will escape judgment.

 

The most important thing in life is to make sure that you are at peace with God. This cannot happen by performing good works or trying to live a good religious life. No! The Holy Word of God tells us that it is only possible through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. If you look to Him, you will receive the forgiveness of your sins and everlasting life in paradise with God.

 

How can I receive Jesus?

 

You can receive Jesus into your life, now, by talking to Him sincerely in prayer. Open your heart to Him, acknowledge and confess your sins. Ask God to wash you from your sins by the blood that Jesus spilt on the cross. God forgives those who humble themselves before Him in this way. He is perfectly aware of all that is in your heart, so it is useless trying to hide anything. God is waiting for you to turn to Him.

I encourage you to take God’s Holy Word (the Bible) very seriously. Don’t let anything stop you putting right your relationship with God. 

 

- Acknowledge that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God;

- Admit that you have done many things which are against His will.  

   Tell Him that you are a sinner and turn away from all the bad  

   things you have done. Ask the Lord Jesus to forgive your sins. 

- Open your heart to Jesus as your Saviour and Lord. Acknowledge                                        

   His right to reign in your life, by submitting to the commandments

   in His Word, the Bible. And ask Him to make you into the person  

   He wants you to be.

 

The Lord is ready to adopt you as His child and to welcome you into His family. He is ready to transform your life. The Bible promises, “as many as received Him (Jesus Christ), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (Injil, John 1:12).


If you want to invite Him in pray this prayer or something like it:

Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner. I realize that I cannot be the kind of person you want me to be on my own.   I am willing to turn from my sin and give myself to You.  Please forgive me and come into my heart and direct my life. Help me in this new walk. Thank you, Jesus. Amen

If you just prayed that prayer, we would like to know. Click here to email us with your good news or if you need more information.


Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is just the beginning of an exciting relationship with Him and the start of a new life.  It is important that you next:


1) Share this good news about your decision with someone,
2) Be baptized, it is act of obedience to and a witness for your new Saviour, 
3) Become a member of a fellowship of Christians (church) who accept the Bible as the only true Word of God and Jesus as the ONLY way to heaven,
4) Begin to read the scriptures, for it tells us who Jesus is and what He wants for us.  If you are new to the study of the Bible, start with the gospel of John.  You will find that God will speak to you as you read and seek Him.
