True Christianity is a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Accepting Jesus as
your personal Savior means placing your own personal faith
and trust in Him. No one is saved by the faith of others.
The only way to be saved is to personally accept Jesus as
your Savior, trusting His death as the payment for your
sins, and His resurrection as your guarantee of eternal life
(John 3:16). Is Jesus personally your Savior?
To become a Christian, you need to know these
basic facts from the Bible: |
|
John 3:16
|
|
|
God loves you. God loved you so much that He sent His
son to die for your sins.
|
|
Romans 3:10
|
|
|
You are a sinner. Sin is choosing to do
your own thing as opposed to being obedient to God. All
persons are sinners in that they disobey God.
|
|
Romans 3:23
|
|
|
Sin separates you from God. God is Holy and sin forms
a barrier between you and God.
|
|
Romans 4:4-5
|
|
|
You can't save yourself. There's nothing
you can do in terms of deeds to bridge the gap between you
and God. You can't earn God's salvation. |
|
Romans 5:8
|
|
|
God sent His Son Jesus to remove the sin barrier.
Only Jesus Christ can bridge the gap between you and God. Jesus Christ, God's
only Son, died on the cross and removed the
sin barrier between you and God. Jesus died for your sins,
taking your punishment on Himself. God did for you in Jesus
Christ what you couldn't do for yourself.
|
|
John 14:6; Romans
10:9-10
|
|
|
You can receive Jesus Christ through faith. Faith is
trusting in what Jesus has done for you. Faith
also involves repentance, which is to willingly turn
away from sin.
|
|
|
|
Through prayer you can accept Jesus Christ. Admit
to God that you are a sinner. Ask God to help you turn away
from your sinfulness. Ask Him to forgive your sins. Invite
Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. Thank Him for
saving you and commit your life to Him.
Accepting Christ is only the beginning to a new life with
purpose and meaning. After accepting Him, be
obedient by following Christ in baptism by uniting with a church.
