HOW CAN I BECOME A CHRISTIAN?

How can I become a Christian?

Because of His love for us, God has made it exceedingly simple to become a Christian.

All you have to do is receive Jesus as your Saviour, fully accepting His death as the full and sufficient sacrifice for your sins (John 3:16), fully trusting Him alone as your Saviour (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

Becoming a Christian is not all about rituals, going to church, or doing certain things while refraining from other things.

Becoming a Christian is all about having a personal friendship with Jesus Christ, and this always results in repentance. Repentance and faith can be understood as “two sides of the same coin.”

It is impossible to place your faith in Jesus Christ as the Saviour without first changing your mind about who He is and what He has done. This is what Biblical repentance means, it is changing your mind about Jesus Christ and turning to God in faith for salvation (Acts 3:19).

Whether it is repentance from willful rejection or repentance from ignorance or disinterest, it is always

a change of mind.

But the truth is that no-one can repent and come to God unless God first pulls that person to Himself (John 6:44).

So, all of salvation, including repentance and faith, is a result of God drawing us, opening our eyes, and changing our hearts.

Are you ready to become a Christian?

If you are ready to become a Christian by receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you must believe.
Do you understand and believe that you have sinned and are worthy of judgment from God?
Do you understand and believe that Jesus took your punishment upon Himself, dying in your place?
Do you understand and believe that His death was the sufficient sacrifice to pay for your sins?

If your answers to these three questions are yes, then simply place your trust in Jesus as your Saviour. Receive Him, by faith, trusting fully in Him alone. Turn from what you were, and turn to Jesus in repentance, and that is all it takes to become a Christian!
