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 the chapter titled 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 remedy, God sent
His only Son Jesus to live the perfect life God demands. Romans 6:23, "For the wges of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

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 states, "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."

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 states, "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."
