The decision to become a Christian is not something to take lightly. Becoming a Christian is
as serious as getting married. When you become a Christian, you are entrusted to live as Jesus Christ commanded. He gave two chief commandments:
"Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord. And you shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second commandment is like it, namely this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (see Mark 12:29-31). He also said, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). Count the cost: you are giving your life to Christ.
The Holy Spirit will dwell within you and empower you to live the way Christ wants you to
live.
Now here is how to become a Christian:
BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
REPENT of rebelling against God.
CONFESS your belief, surrendering your life to Him, stating that He is your Lord.
BE BAPTIZED for the forgiveness of sins, formally entering the family of God.
