HOW DOES ONE BECOME A CHRISTIAN?

Jesus said; "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."             (John 3:3)

God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.

Scripture references:

• God's love (John 3:16)
• God's plan (John 10:10)

Man is sinful and separated from God.  Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.

Scripture references:

• Sinfulness of man. (Romans 3:32)
• Separation from God. (Romans 6:23)

Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.  Through Him, you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

Scripture references:

• Who did Christ die for? (Romans 5:8)
• What does the Bible call us?
• Why does God love us?

We must individually respond to God's calling and receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord so that we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

Scripture references:

• John 1:12
• Ephesians 2-8:9
• Revelation 3:20

HOW DO YOU GROW IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE?

Once we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior we become God's child.  As a follower of Christ we now call ourselves Christian.  Out of obedience we seek to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and to allow Him to help is every step of the way.

Spend time with God daily in prayer.

Seek to grow by reading God's Word daily.

Develop the ability to obey God's Word and Will.

Participate in Worship and Small Groups.

Witness for Christ by sharing your faith with others.

Depend on the Holy Spirit to control and empower your daily life in order to make your witness effective.

Make time for fellowship.
