HOW DO I BECOME A CHRISTIAN?
​
A Christian is an individual who has made a personal decision to believe in Christ, received His plan for living, and has committed to following Jesus. Here are some basic facts that are key to helping you make this decision:
​
1.  God's Design - God made each of us with a purpose - to worship Him and to walk with Him.
"The gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23)

2.  Sin - Life doesn't work when we ignore God and His original design for our lives.
"For all have sinned" (Romans 3:23) and "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). This means your sin is excluding you from God's gift of eternal life.

3.  Brokenness - Sin leads to a place of brokenness. We see this all around us and in our own lives as well.
"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator." (Romans 1:25)

4.  The Gospel - Because of God's love for us, He did not leave us in our brokenness. Jesus, God in human flesh, came to us and lived perfectly according to God's design. Jesus came to rescue us - to do for us what we could not do for ourselves. He took our sin and shame to the cross, paying the penalty of our sin by His death. Jesus was then raised from the dead - to provide the only way for us to be rescued and restored to a relationship with God.
"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) and was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead" (Romans 1:4). 

5.  Repent and Believe - Simply hearing this Good News is not enough. We must admit our sinful brokenness and we must ask God to forgive us. We must turn from trusting ourselves to trusting only in Jesus.
"Repent and believe in the good news." (Mark 1:15)

6.  Recover and Pursue - When God restores our relationship to Him, we begin to discover meaning and purpose in a broken world. Now we can pursue God's design in all areas of our lives.
"For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work His good purpose." (Philippians 2:13)
