Becoming a Christian
No one on earth today is perfect, including you. Have you messed up in life? You are not alone. Everyone has messed up and has sinned in their life. Because we have sinned, we fall short of the glory of God, which is a life of separation from God. But….
God loves us anyway!!
A perfect sacrifice was given to us as a gift. It pardons us completely of our sin, and becomes a bridge between God and ourselves. The sacrifice was Jesus Christ, the Perfect Son of God. It is a gift that is offered. We choose to accept it or not accept it.
The Bible says:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and not of your own doing, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord; and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
So…what does all this mean?
If you believe these things, that Jesus Christ was sent to earth to die for our sins as a sacrifice, not only did he die but rose from death, you are ready to become a Christian, a follower of Christ.
Please pray this prayer:
Heavenly Father, I know that I have sinned and fall short of your glory. I accept the gift of Jesus and invite him into my heart, I ask you to save me from my sins and fill me with your grace. Thank you for saving me and allowing me to become a child of yours. Amen.

So…what does all this mean?
- All have sinned and are not worthy of God
- All sinners die, but those with God’s gift, Jesus Christ, experience the wonders of Heaven
- We can not save ourselves, only through Jesus
- Accepting Christ as Savior and believing he conquered death
