How to become a Christian ?

The central theme of the Bible is God's love for you and for all people. This love was revealed when Jesus Christ, the son of God, came into the world as a human being lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead. Because Christ died, your sins can be forgiven, and because He conquered death you can have eternal life. You can know for sure what will become of you after you die. You have probably heard the story of God's love referred to as the "Gospel." The word Gospel simply means "Good News." The Gospel is the good news that, because of what Christ has done, we can be forgiven and can live for ever. But this gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be yours unless you willingly accept it. God requires an individual response from you. The following verses from the Bible shows God's part and in this process.

GOD'S LOVE REVEALED IN THE BIBLE

"For God so loved the world, that he give his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."-John 3:16(kjv).
God's loves you. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete.
And He wants to give you life which well last for ever, even after you experience physical death.
WE ARE SINFUL For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of Gold."Rom.3:23.(kjv).
You may have heard someone Say's, "I'm only human-no body's perfect."
This Bible verse says the same thing: We are all sinners. We all do things that we know are wrong. And that's why we fell estranged from God- because God is holy and good, and we are not.


SIN HAS A FINAL TY

"For the wages of sin is death."-Rom.6:23.(kjv)."
Just as criminals must pay the penalty for their crimes, sinners must pay the penalty for their sins. If you continue to sin, you will pay the penalty of spiritual death: You will not only die physically; You will be also separated from our holy God for all eternity. The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will spend eternity in a place called hell.


CHRIST HAS PAID OUR PENALTY!

" But God commendeth his love to ward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."Rom.5:8,(kjv)."
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, has paid the penalty for all your sins. You may think you have to lead a good life and do good deeds before God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you, even when you were rebelling against Him
