How to become a Christian!
If you are on this page, then we assume that you want to know more about making Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. Congratulations for hearing God's voice and responding. Trusting Jesus with your eternal future is the single MOST IMPORTANT decision that you will ever make. Jesus loves you and he came to die for YOU! If YOU had been the ONLY person alive, he STILL would have died for just YOU! Isn't it amazing that God loves each of us individually. He loves us ALL equally, yes even those who it seem like would not be worthy of his love. He still loves the sinner, he just despises the sin. The angels rejoice in heaven whenever someone makes the decision to join the family of Jesus Christ. I hope that you will consider the following and make the committment to Jesus. Not only will the angels rejoice, but we will rejoice with you also. God's Purpose: Peace and Life God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life - abundant and eternal. This is taken from Billy Grahams booklet on: "Steps to Peace With God." The Bible says . . . ". . . we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 ". . . I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10b Since God planned for us to have peace and the abundant life right now, why are most people not having this experience? Our problem: Separation God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him, but gave us a will and a freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God. The Bible Says: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 Our choice results in separation from God. Our Attempts Through the ages, individuals have tried in many ways to bridge this gap . . . without success . . . The Bible Says . . . "There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death." Proverbs 14:12 "But your iniquities have separated you from God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear." Isaiah 59:2 There is only one remedy for this problem of separation. People (Sinful) God (Holy) God's Remedy: The Cross

Our problem: Separation
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him, but gave us a will and a freedom of choice.
We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God.
The Bible Says:
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
Our choice results in separation from God.

There is only one remedy for this problem of separation.
People (Sinful)
God (Holy)
God's Remedy: The Cross
Jesus Christ is the only answer to this problem. He died on the Cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sin and bridging the gap between God and the people.
" . . .God is on one side and all the people on the other side, and Christ Jesus, Himself man, is between them to bring them together . . . 1 Timothy 2:5 "For Christ also has suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God . . ." 1 Peter 3:18a "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 God has provided the ONLY way . . . WE must make the choice . . . People (Sinful) God (Holy) Christ (The Bridge)

Our response: RECEIVE CHRIST We must trust Jesus Christ and receive Him by personal invitation!
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20 "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." John 1:12 ". . . if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dad, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 Are you here . . . Or here?

Is there any good reason why you cannot receive Jesus Christ right now?
How to Receive Christ:
1. Admit your need ( I am a sinner). 2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent). 3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave. 4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.) What to pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen God's Assurance: His Word If you prayed this prayer, The Bible Says . . . "For 'whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Romans 10:13 Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? Where is He right now? What has he given you? "For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9 The Bible Says. . . "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God, does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know wtht you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:12-13, NKJV Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. . . this is called regeneration or the "new birth." This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should: 1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better. 2. Talk to God in prayer every day. 3. Tell others about Christ. 4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached. 5. As Christ's representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others. God Bless You as You Do!

If you said the above prayer, please e-mail us with your good news. We would love to REJOICE with you!
Isn't it nice to be forgiven. So many people think that Christians are a bunch of hypocrits because Christians do not always lead "perfect lives." We will never be perfect as long as we live on this earth. All we are as Christians is FORGIVEN. That is for past and future sins. The blood of Jesus Christ was sufficient to wash ALL of our sins away. Praise the Lord! Thank you for your Grace! Thank you for Jesus! Once you become a Christian, your life will never be the same. You are on an adventure now which will someday culminate in seeing Jesus Christ face to face. If you said the above prayer, you will meetJesus as your Savior, if not, you will meet him as your judge. If you need more information about Jesus before making this eternal decision, please visit our page on prophecy. You may be amazed to discover the "historical and factual" evidence surrounding the birth, life, death and ressurrection of Jesus Christ. You do not have to accept Jesus Christ on "Blind Faith." There is AMPLE evidence surrounding his life. Please explore for yourself and I feel sure you will return to this page to surrender to the ONE AND ONLY GOD! There is ONLY ONE way to heaven and life everlasting. The only way is Jesus Christ! Thanks for coming by our page of salvation. Please check out our other pages while you are here.
