Why Become a Christian?

Become a Christian because you can be saved from your sin and its ultimate penalty: eternal separation from God in hell. As a Christian you can find, know, and love God.

The following are the essential points of Christian faith that God graciously gives us in the Bible:

You Have Offended a Perfect God

God created and owns everything, including you. (Genesis 1:1, Psalm 24:1)

God is perfectly holy and righteous. (Matthew 5:48)

God requires your perfect obedience to His standards. (James 2:10)

You have broken God’s standards. (Romans 3:10; 23)

You will pay the eternal penalty for your sin. (Romans 6:23)

Only Jesus Christ Can Save You from Your Sin

You cannot save yourself by being good enough or by doing good works. (Titus 3:5)

Jesus Christ came to earth as both God and sinless man. (Colossians 2:9)

Jesus Christ demonstrated His love by dying on the cross to pay sin’s penalty. (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

Jesus Christ rose from the grave and is alive today. (1 Corinthians 15:4)

Becoming a Christian

You must repent of all that dishonors God. (Isaiah 55:7; Luke 9:23)

You must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and live for Him. (Romans 10:9)
