How do I Become a Christian?

To become a Christian is a free gift from God, and the most important thing you'll ever do. It is about being made right with God, being a follower of Jesus Christ and having a relationship with him.

Some verses from the bible to help you- 

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins. For God presented Jesus as a sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.

Romans 3: 22-25

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9

God saved you by grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 

Ephesians 2:8

If you are ready to take the  step of becoming a Christian and joining God's family, you may wish to pray a prayer like the prayer below. The exact words don't matter - God looks at the heart.

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Saviour.

Amen.
