How to Become a Christian
Admit You are a Sinner Romans 3:10, 23 - "...There is none righteous, no, not one...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
We have all sinned and fall short of God's standards. We sin when we disobey God's standards of holiness revealed to us in God's Word (the Bible). Besides this, the Bible teaches that we are born as sinners. Romans 5:12 says, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned." 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 says, "For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die..." We inherit our sin nature from the first man, Adam. Because of Adam's original sin, we all are born sinners.

Realize There is a Penalty for Sin Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death..."
The Bible teaches that we are dead in and in bondage to sin. Because God is holy, sin cannot enter His presence. Sin seperates us from God. Isaiah 59:2 says, "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear." We are hopelessly lost with no hope and enslaved to sin (John 8:34). Because of our sin, there is a penalty that must be paid. That penalty is physical and spiritual death. We all die physically due because of our sin. In addition, we die spiritually in that we are eternally separated from God and destined to spend eternity in a place called Hell.

Believe Jesus Christ is God's Son & He Died on the Cross for You Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
The Bible says God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to earth to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus' sacrifice made it possible for us to be redeemed (bought back) from the bondage and penalty of sin. Jesus paid the ransom for our sin so we can be set free from sin's penalty and reconciled (restored to good standing) with God. The Son of God bore the sins of the entire world...past, present and future on Himself on the cross (Isaiah 53:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Repent from Your Sins and Receive Jesus Christ as Savior & Lord Romans 10:9-10 - "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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
In John 14:6 Jesus says, "...I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." The Bible says that Jesus is the only way to salvation and forgiveness. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Salvation is a free gift that we must receive by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). We must repent (turn away) from our sins and turn to Jesus Christ for salvation. We must receive Him by faith as our Savior and commit our lives to follow Him as Lord (Matthew 16:24).

1 John 1:9 -"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." No matter how far you think you have gone, you can never go too far from God's love and forgiveness. If you confess your sins, turn away from your sin and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, He will forgive you. God loves you and demonstrated His love for you through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. He wants to have a personal, saving relationship with you. However, the choice is yours. You must choose to receive His free gift of salvation.
