Becoming a Christian
In Your Personal Opinion….
What do you think it takes for a person to go to Heaven?
Consider how the Bible Answers this question. It is a matter of faith.
F is for forgiveness.
We cannot have Eternal Life and Heaven without God’s forgiveness. Read Ephesians 1:7a
A is for Available.
Forgiveness is available for all. - Read John 3:16
But it is not automatic. - Read Matthew 7:21a
I is for impossible.
It is impossible for God to allow sin into Heaven because of who He is: God is loving and just. His judgment is against sin. - Read Romans 6:23
Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner - Read Romans 3:23
But how can a sinful person enter Heaven where God allows no sin?
T is for Turn.
Turn, in the Bible, means repent. Turn from something - sin and self. - Read Luke 13:3b
Turn to Someone; Trust Christ only. - Read Romans 10:9
H is for Heaven.
Heaven is Eternal Life.
Here - Read John 10:10b
Hereafter - Read John 14:3
How?
How can a person have God’s forgiveness, Heaven and Eternal Life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? — By trusting Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. Take the step of Faith described by another meaning of FAITH: Forsaking All, I Trust Him.
If you want to receive this forgiveness, Heaven and Eternal Life, and Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord, pray this simple prayer:
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe that You died for my sin and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.
After you have received Christ, tell a Christian friend about the important decision you have made. Follow Christ in Believer’s Baptism and Church Membership.
