How to Become a Christian

Becoming a Christian is about God’s Creation (you/us) accepting God’s gift of love and life… and experiencing His forgiveness because of our sins. To do this we/you must…

1. ...believe that God created you and loves you.
2. …recognize you do things that hinder you from experiencing God’s love and you must seek His forgiveness.
3. …have faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He alone has overcome everything that can separate you from God’s love.
4. ...invite Jesus into your life through prayer to be your Lord and Savior and turn away from sin.
5. …trust God’s Spirit to give you power to live a life pleasing to God and to make you more like Jesus’ day by day as you grow in God’s grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
