ACCEPTING JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE

To become a Christian, all you need to do is follow Christ. The first step is to acknowledge that we’ve all fallen short of God’s standard (Romans 3:23) and the Bible acknowledges that “the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). When Jesus died on the cross, He paid the price for our sins. His resurrection proves that God accepted Jesus’ death as the payment for our sins (Romans 5:8).

To accept the gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord, the process is “confessing with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Because Jesus died for us, all we have to do is believe in Him and we will be saved!

When we give our whole life to Christ, we can’t be separated from His love.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate you from the love of God that is Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:38-39. This gives us absolute assurance of our salvation. Jesus’ work on the cross, His life, and His resurrection point to eternity with Him.

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1
