Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.

Do you ever wonder where you stand with God or what it really means to be a Christian? God created us with a desire to know Him. We see His handiwork in creation, in our relationships, and in the stirrings of our conscience—but the Bible reminds us that we haveall sinned and fallen short of His glory. On our own, we cannot erase the debt of our sin or earn our way to heaven.

The good news is that Jesus Christ died and rose again to pay for our sins and open the way to a real relationship with God. Becoming a Christian isn’t about rituals, but trusting Jesus and letting Him transform your life. If you’re ready to explore this, we’re here to encourage you.

Romans 10:9 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.

What Does It Really Mean to Be a Christian?

What It Takes to Become a Christian?

This is the best part. Because of His love for us, God has made it exceedingly simple to become a Christian. All you have to do is receive Jesus as your Savior, fully accepting His death as the sufficient sacrifice for your sins (John 3:16), fully trusting Him alone as your Savior (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

Becoming a Christian is not all about rituals, going to church, or doing certain things while refraining from other things. Becoming a Christian is all about having a personal relationship with God. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ, through faith, is what makes a person a Christian.

A Common Question About Becoming a Christian?

Jesus Christ declared that He “did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). The question then arises – why did we need to be ransomed? The idea of a ransom is a payment made in exchange for the release of a person. The idea of a ransom is most frequently used in instances of kidnapping, when someone is kidnapped and held prisoner until a ransom is paid for the person’s release.

How Does Jesus Open the Way to God?

Jesus paid our ransom to free us from bondage! Bondage from what? Bondage to sin and its consequences, physical death, followed by eternal separation from God. Why did Jesus need to pay this ransom? Because we are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23) and are therefore worthy of judgment from God (Romans 6:23). How did Jesus pay our ransom? By dying on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21). How could Jesus’ death sufficiently pay for all of our sins? Jesus was God in human form, God come to earth to become one of us so He could identify with us and die for our sins (John 1:1,14). As God, Jesus’ death was of infinite value, sufficient to pay for the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2). His resurrection after His death demonstrated that His death was an adequate sacrifice and that He had truly conquered sin and death.

Are You Ready To Become A Christian?

If you are ready to become a Christian by receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, all you have to do is believe. Do you understand and think that you have sinned and are worthy of judgment from God? Do you know and believe that Jesus took your punishment upon Himself, dying in your place? Do you understand and believe that His death was a sufficient sacrifice to pay for your sins? If your answers to these three questions are yes, then place your trust in Jesus as your Savior. Receive Him, by faith, fully trusting in Him alone. That is all it takes to become a Christian!

Now That I Have Placed My Faith In Jesus, Now What?

What Has God Done For Us?

God has planted in our conscience the knowledge of what is good and what is evil. We need to realize the weight of our sins and that only God, through Jesus’ death on the cross, could erase the debt of our sins. Many people try to go through life in their own strength, only to discover that in the end, they struggle and fall without anyone to help them up, and they do not make it into heaven.

To explain briefly why anyone would want to be a Christian: God has put a desire to know Him in all our consciences when He created the world. We see the sunrise and sunset, we hear the birds in the trees, we experience thoughts and feelings, and God gives us family and many people in our lives because He created us as relational beings. Yet we must realize that we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

I encourage you to get to know God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit on our website. Becoming a Christian is not a magic wand that takes away our trials here on earth, because life will still have its struggles as a Christian, but at least we have God to run to for His help, and ultimately to be with Him in heaven for eternity, with no more tears, pain, or sickness.
