How to become a Christian

 

Jesus came to save the entire world from sin. This freedom from our sins is available to anyone who wants it. We need to accept that Jesus is the Son of God sent by God in his mercy to save a lost and dying world from it's sins. Jesus took the punishment for our sins on our behalf by dying on the cross. He then rose again by the power of God breaking the power of sin over us forever.

Like any gift the salvation from our sins through Jesus is free, we just have to accept it. If you would like to accept this gift then I have included a simple prayer to help you do this. If you have any Christian friends or acquaintances, ask them to pray it with you (it is still valid to pray this alone).

Dear Father God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.

I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His
precious blood on the cross and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.

You said in Your Holy Word, (Romans 10:9) that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.

Help me remain to faithful to You all the days of my life in order that I may receive a crown of righteousness and dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

In Jesus' precious name,


Amen.

After praying this prayer you need to start spending time with Christians who will help you grow in your knowledge and understanding of God. Christianity is about relationships, both with God and with fellow Christians. You should find a church to go to. If you have Christian friends or acquaintances they can probably help you with this. Otherwise mail us at info@destinyforum.org and we will be glad to put you in touch with some Christians in your area.
