How to receive Christ

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). 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.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). 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.

“But God showed His great love for us, by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8). Although humanity through sin has separated itself from God, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross bridged that gap.

“For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). 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.

“For anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13). God promises in the Bible that anyone who accepts Christ as Savior, shall be saved. The Bible teaches that a person who accepts Christ as Savior, should also follow Him in believer’s baptism and join the fellowship of a Bible-believing church.
