In order to be saved and become a Christian, you have to believe the right things! Some of these things are:
  • I am a sinner, regardless of how good I am. I need a savior. My actions deserve death and eternal punishment in Hell, which is the ultimate death. (Romans 3:23, 6:23; Revelation 21:8)
  • God loves me so much that He sent His Son to die for me and pay my penalty that I might be saved. (John 3:16)
  • God raised Jesus back to life after being dead for three days. (Mark 16:1-7; Romans 10:9-10)
  • There is nothing I can do to earn my salvation but believe in Jesus. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
However, it is NOT ENOUGH just to believe the right things. You must also accept His salvation.
How do you accept His free gift of salvation? The Bible says that if you:
  • "Declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
  • You can do this today by simply praying to Jesus right where you are. Ask Him these three things in your own words:
  • Ask for His forgiveness
  • Ask for His leadership
  • Ask for Him to help you in this journey
It's simple! If you make Jesus the leader of your life and believe in Him, you will be saved. He will erase all of your sin free of charge! The Bible says that when we do this, we BECOME children of God.
This is the best part! You then start a relationship with God that changes who you are! Your likes and desires will begin to change and become more like His. You will begin to do things, not because you have to, but because you love God and want to please Him.

God has a plan for your life. If you have started this eternal relationship with God, there are some things that will help you stay on this path:
  • Tell as many people about your decision as possible!
  • Get a Bible and read it daily. It doesn't have to be the King James Version which can be hard to read. There are plenty of versions that are made in modern English.
  • Pray to God every day. This doesn't have to be formal on your knees; you can talk to God like you would talk to your best friend.
  • Attend a church regularly. This is the best way to stay accountable and be a part of a family that loves you. This family will encourage you in your life with God.
