Admit
The Bible tells us the first step in becoming a Christian is to admit we are sinners. "For all
have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
Believe
The next step in becoming a Christian is to believe that Jesus died for our sins. "...if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
Confess
In order to become a Christian we must agree with God about our sin and our need of a
Savior. Because the penalty of sin is spiritual death, that is, separation from God, the death
of Jesus on our behalf provides the only solution to our sin problem. Here's what Jesus
Himself had to say:
"Therefore whoever confesses me before men, him will I also confess before My Father who
is in Heaven. But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who
is in Heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33)
If you would like to become a Christian, here is a prayer that will help guide you in this
important decision:
"Dear Jesus, I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and that you arose from the
grave. I now ask you to forgive me of my sins and save my soul. In your name I pray, amen."
