BECOMING A CHRISTIAN:
Most people think Christianity is about church attendance, rituals, or trying to be “good enough.”
It isn’t.
The word Christian first appeared in Antioch (Acts 11:26).
It meant “little Christ.”
Not a title you earn.
A relationship you enter.
Jesus said He came “to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
A ransom means someone is trapped.
Held. Unable to free themselves.
Scripture says that’s us.
Sin isn’t just what we do, it’s a condition we’re born into (Romans 3:23).
And the consequence is real (Romans 6:23).
So Jesus stepped in.
He took our place (1 Corinthians 15:3).
He became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21).
He died with our guilt on His shoulders, and rose to prove the payment was accepted.
Only God could do that.
And Jesus is God in human form (John 1:1,14).
SO HOW DO YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN?
Not by trying harder.
Not by cleaning yourself up.
Not by joining a church.
You become a Christian by trusting Jesus Christ, fully, personally, and completely.
Believe He died for your sins
Believe His sacrifice is enough
Receive Him as your Savior (John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 4:12)
That’s it.
Faith, not performance, is what saves.
ARE YOU READY FOR THAT STEP?
Ask yourself:
1. Do I believe I’ve sinned and deserve judgment?
2. Do I believe Jesus took my punishment?
3. Do I believe His death fully paid for my sins?
If yes, then trust Him.
Right now.
Where you are.
He meets you the moment you believe.
Salvation is the beginning, not the end.
