The A B C's of becoming a Christian

A.  Admit that you are a sinner

• To become a  Christian a person must first realize that he or she is “lost” totally  estranged from God, separated from God by a sinful nature. Get a Bible, the  history of God’s relationship with humankind, and read from the chapter titled  Romans. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God".
• A person alone cannot reconcile the lost relationship between himself or herself and God.  To provide a remedy, God sent His only Son, Jesus, to live the perfect life God demands. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of  God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".

B. Believe that Christ died for you.

• Although humanity has separated itself from God through sin, the sacrifice of Jesus on  the cross bridged that gap. Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His love  toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us".
   
• What must I do to be saved? Acts 16:30-31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you  shall be saved".

C. Confess that He is Lord

• All that God asks is that a man or woman repent of his or her sins, turn from them and  accept the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for those sins. Romans 10:9 "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved".
   
• God promises in  the Bible that anyone who accepts Christ as Savior shall be saved. Romans 10:13 "for whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved".
