HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS TEXT, I WANT TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN THE FIRST STEP TO BECOMING A CHRISTIAN. MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SOMEONE THAT "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL IF YOU DON'T CHANGE" BUT DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL HOW TO CHANGE. THERE ARE FOUR THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU CAN GO TO HEAVEN.

1. MAN'S NEED. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS 3:23, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD..." ALL OF US ARE SINNERS. NONE OF US ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO DESERVE HEAVEN. WE NEED TO REPENT OF OUR SINS.

2.SIN'S PENALTY. "FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD" (ROMANS 6:23) BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SINNERS WE DESERVE TO BE FOREVER SEPARATED FROM GOD WHEN WE DIE. BUT GOD GIVES US THE FREE GIFT OF HIS SON TO PAY FOR OUR SINS.

3. GOD'S PROVISION. AGAIN WE FIND IN ROMANS 5:8,"BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US." GOD PROVIDED A SINLESS SUBSTITUTE, JESUS THE CHRIST, FOR US BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT WE COULD NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET INTO HEAVEN.

4. MAN'S RESPONSE. THIS TIME THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS 10:9,"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." AND THEN WE FIND IN ROMANS 10:13, "FOR WHOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED"

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO REPENT, TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS, BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOU, AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD, YOU CAN BECOME A CHRISTIAN RIGHT NOW. PRAY THIS PRAYER: 

DEAR GOD, I KNOW THAT JESUS IS YOUR SON, AND HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. I KNOW I HAVE SINNED AND NEED FORGIVENESS, I AM WILLING TO TURN FROM MY SINS AND RECEIVE JESUS AS MY SAVIOR AND LORD. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME. IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.
