How To Become A Christian |
(Matthew 7:7 NKJV)"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will
find; knock, and it will be opened to you." This is the basic secret of
becoming a Christian - you have to want to follow Jesus. I can't make
you follow Jesus, no-one can. Its between you and God. In your seeking
there are a few facts that make the journey a whole lot easier and
quicker. We call this set of facts "the good news of Jesus Christ" or
"the gospel" for short. This article is about the gospel and attempts to
give you a few facts to help you believe.
Fact 1. Everyone, absolutely everyone has fallen short of God's glorious
holy
standards for their lives. You might not have murdered but you probably
have lied.
You may not have slept with someone else's wife or husband - but you
probably
have hated someone or been unjust or cruel. Sin is not just sexual sin
or murder, it
includes being greedy, jealous, and envious. It includes our thought
life too! All that
we think in our imaginations is known to God. That is why Paul the
apostle can
write: (Romans 3:23 NKJV) "for all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of
God". All includes me and it also includes you.
Fact Two: God is holy and just therefore He punishes sin. The Bible says:
(Romans 6:23 NKJV) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Sin carries the death penalty. There are
two kinds of
death referred to in the Bible - physical death and eternal spiritual
death. Eternal
spiritual death means going into torment in Hell forever and ever, it means
separation from God, from goodness, from truth, from sanity, from
happiness and
light. It is eternal torment and disintegration. When we refuse to
follow God and
obey Him we are rebelling against our Creator and the Source of Life. If
we rebel
against the Creator it is us who lose. It is God who sustains us, not
the other way
around! When we tell the Source of Life to stay away from our life and
not to interfere we are
actually saying "don't supply me with life". To sin, to disobey God, is
to attack ourselves in the long
run. Its like speeding - fun until you have to stand before the
Judge.Unfortunately the sentence for a
life of sin is not a speeding ticket - it is eternal death.
Fact Three: Jesus took our punishment for sin when He died upon the
Cross. God prepared a way for sin could be dealt with - through special
sacrifices. In the Jewish sacrificial system this was a perfect animal
without spot or blemish. Jesus was sinless and was the perfect sacrifice
for all the sins of all people for all time. The Bible tells us that God
saw that everyone had sinned and was in danger of Hell. He decided to
rescue them by sending Jesus to die instead of them. Jesus died on the
cross went down into the world of the dead, took our punishment fully
and was raised from the dead three days later. Our sins were "nailed to
the cross" and dealt with when Jesus died. (Romans 5:8 NKJV) But God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.Anyone who believes in Him can now have
their sins forgiven because Jesus' sacrifice has provided forgiveness
for everyone who wants it. Some people are too proud to want God's
forgiveness. They think they can get to Heaven without the help of
Jesus. But as we saw before they can't- because they, like you and I,
are guilty before God. And the thing about guilt is that it takes only
one crime to make you guilty and deserving of punishment. A thief cannot
say "but I did not kill" and a murderer cannot say "I did not steal" -
their one crime makes them guilty. So it only takes one sin to make us
guilty before God and no-one can say they are good enough for heaven. We
all need to accept what Jesus did for us and say thank you to God for it
if we are to become true Christians.
Fact Four: The way to become a Christian is by living by two key truths.
These
key truths are that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He rose from the dead.
The first
says that He is boss of your life, of your family, and even of the
government.
Jesus Christ is the "ultimate authority" ; He must be obeyed. So when
you read the
Bible and see a commandment of Jesus you must do it. Once you become a
Christian you are like a soldier under the command of Jesus Christ.
However His
commands are not petty or small-minded. His commands are life-giving,
true and
the way to salvation and a fulfilling life. Jesus says "My yoke is easy
and my burden is light." Being a Christian is not meant to be an
impossible struggle but a joyful celebration of life. The second thing
we have to live by is that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. This means
that we accept that He lived (how else did He die?), that He died (how
else did he rise from the dead?), and that God raised Him from the dead
on the third day. This means that we too will be raised from the dead to
have a life that both lasts for eternity and shares the joy of heaven.
The Bible states why we have to believe these things as follows: (Romans
10:9-13 NKJV) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved. {10} For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation. {11} For the Scripture
says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." {12} For there
is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is
rich to all who call upon Him. {13} For "whoever calls on the name of
the LORD shall be saved."
A Prayer For Those Who Would Like To Become Christians
If you would like to become a Christian then please pray the following
prayer:
"Dear God, I would like to become a Christian. I know that I have not
lived as you
want me to. I know I need you to forgive me for all the sins I have
done. I ask
that you will please forgive me because of what Jesus did on the cross.
I believe
He died on that cross to take my sins and that You raised Him from the
dead. I
want to have eternal life from God so that I can follow Jesus and obey Him
forever as my Lord. Please make me a Christian now. Amen."

Jesus says "My yoke is easy

Why do you imagine you know what Jesus said? It's not really _Jesus'_
words you're repeating, is it? You're really quoting words written
decades later by someone:
-- who doesn't give his name,
-- who never claims to have met Jesus and
-- who never claims to have been a witness to the events.
You're quoting legend.
Can I ask, besides Jesus', are there other "quotations" recorded
decades later by anonymous writers who never claim to have met the
speaker and who never claim to have been within ten miles of the
actual events, are there other "quotations" like that that you believe
are accurate? Can you list a few please?

You might not have murdered but you probably have lied.
Like the way the missonaries lie in "miracle cure" shows - "deaf

Fact Three: Jesus took our punishment for sin when He died upon the

Why not he keep doing it ? Anyway he has come back to life.
Fact Four: The way to become a Christian is by living by two key truths.
Truth 1 : Tell as many lies as possible in the name of God. Commit
frauds such as "miracle healing" and cheat the innocent and
illiterates
Truth 2: Try to be as irrational as possible, away from science and
logic

Practically ( the term all the Malayalee christians like pretty much )
you just need to grab a bible, get a bunch of unsuspecting people willing
to give 10% of their income, and you are all set. Creating contacts with
the almighty dollar is a plus, and it is likely to take you to the heaven
on earth.
Could somebody out there define the saint of 21st century ? ( be practical!!)

Contempt of Congress meter reading-offscale.
Vote for Bush. Why vote for the lesser of two evils?
No matter the candidates the superstition industry wins.
'Jesus' is a sock-puppet Christians utilize to add 'authority' to
whatever action they intend on taking. -Stoney

Fact 1 - "Gospel" is a pretty good name for yourself -- you, like the 4
books at the front of the NT, are vacuous, superstitious, and useless.

want me to. I know I need you to forgive me for all the sins I have

dead. I
want to have eternal life from God so that I can follow Jesus and obey Him
forever as my Lord. Please make me a Christian now. Amen."
