If I ever wonder if I am really saved, I can open this little book and remember this

special day when Jesus came into my life to stay.

The Bible says, “As many as received

Him, to them He gave the right to become

children of God, even to those who believe

in His name.” John 1:12NASB®

Why do you need

to be baptized?

• To be obedient to God—the Bible tells you to be baptized.

• To show others that you have given your life to Jesus

• To encourage others to want to follow Jesus, too

“Go therefore and make disciples of all

the nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all that I commanded

you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the

end of the age.” Matthew 28:19–20NASB®

Do you know?

How do you become a Christian?

Is it the same as getting saved?

The Bible has all the answers.

What is a Christian?

?? ?

The Bible tells many important things about

God and about ourselves. First of all, the

Bible tells you that God loves you. “In this

is love, not that we loved God but that He

loved us...” 1 John 4:10NASB®

God wants you to be His child, but something separates you from God.

Do you know what it is?

YOU GOD

Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15NASB®

Some of His commands are:

• Be baptized.

• Read your Bible daily.

• Pray continually.

• Tell others what Jesus has done for you.

• Attend a Christ-centered church regularly.

?? ?

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and

righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse

us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John1:9NASB®

Jesus says, “I will never desert you, nor will

I ever forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5NASB®

What happens whenyou sin now?

Do you have to pray to get saved all over again?

NO!

When you ask Jesus to come into your life,

He comes in to stay forever. When you

sin—when you do something wrong—

remember to talk to God about it and ask

Him to forgive you.

Sin separates you from God. What is sin?

Sin is doing what you want to do instead of

what God wants you to do. We sin when

we disobey God.

Sin is choosing to do wrong.

The Bible says, “To one who knows the

right thing to do and does not do it, to him it

is sin.” James 4:17NASB®

The Bible says it is sin.

YOU GODSIN

Who has sinned?

You and I and everyone!

The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall

short of the glory of God.”

Romans 3:23NASB®

We cannot do anything to remove this sin.

We have a sin problem. Only God can

help us.

Who has sinned? Now you can be sure that...• Your sins are forgiven!

• You are a Christian. A Christian is a follower of Jesus.

• You are part of the family of God.

• You are a child of God. Jesus will always be with you.

• You will go to Heaven someday!

“Thanks be to God, who gives us the

victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Corinthians 15:57NASB®

?? ?“Dear God, I know that I have sinned and that my sin comes

between You and me. I am sorry for my sin. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me so that my sin will be forgiven. Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all the sins I have done and for all the sins I will do.

Come into my life. I want you to be my Lord and my Master. I will obey You and live for You for the rest of my life. Thank you, Jesus, for coming into my life. I know you’ll be with me

forever. Jesus, I love you. Amen.”

Would you like to pray and give your life to Jesus?

Jesus is the only way to God.

Jesus lived a perfect life. He died on the

cross to take the punishment for our sins. He

was buried and, three days later, rose from

the dead. He has prepared a place for us in

Heaven. Jesus offers Heaven as a free gift.

“For the wages (payment) of sin is death,

but the free gift of God is eternal life in

Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23NASB®

The Bible says, “For God so loved the

world, that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believes in Him shall not

perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16NASB®

?? ?WHAT DID GOD DO?

How do you receive

the gift of salvation?

ADMIT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER.Admit that you do things that are wrong. Sin separates you from God.

REPENT OF SIN. Repent means to be sorry for the wrong things you have done. It means that you want to stop doing things your way and want to live for Jesus.

BELIEVE IN JESUS. Believe that Jesus is God’s Son, who died on the cross to take the punishment for your sin. Trust Him to be able to do this for you, to take care of you now, and to take you to Heaven someday.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23NASB®

Jesus said, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32NASB®

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16NASB®

Receive Jesus into your life by praying and asking Him to be your Lord and your Master.

Prayer is talking to God. He’s always listening.

The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth

Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God

raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9NASB®

“Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved...”

Acts 16:31NASB®
