HOW CAN I BECOME A CHRISTIAN?
Receiving Christ Jesus as your personal Savior is the most important act you or anyone else will ever do. There are various reasons why many people believe they are "Christians:"

1. I was born in a religious home.
2. I try to keep the Ten Commandments.
3. I am a church member.
4. I go to church regularly.
5. I do the best I can and live a pretty good life.
6. I believe the Bible.
7. I believe in God and Jesus.

ALL of these things may be true, but the Bible teaches that you still may not be a Christian. You can become a Christian by taking the following steps:
First, acknowledge that you-along with all people-have sinned and fallen short of God's standard (Romans 3:23; Matthew 5:48; Isaiah 53:6; 59:2). According to the Bible, sin is a failure to be what God wants us to be and failure to do what God wants us to do.
Second, recognize that God loves you very much! His son, Jesus Christ died on a cross (to take away your sin) and rose from the dead (to give you eternal life). See Romans 5:8; 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
Third, turn to God by personally inviting Jesus Christ into your life and trust Him to forgive your sins (John 1:12; 14:6; Romans 5:1; 10:9).

Wouldn't you like to trust Jesus Christ to forgive your sins right now? You may want to use this prayer to express your decision: "Dear Father, I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me. I trust Jesus Christ to forgive my sins right now. Let
me start a new and meaningful life with you today. Amen."

If you took the above steps and really meant it- you are now a Christian! (1 John 5:11-13)
