How to become a Christian1. Admit to God that you have done
things that oppose His desires for you.“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
2. Acknowledge Jesus Christ as God’s only solution to your condition.“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:63. Ask God to forgive your sins and
invite Jesus into your life. “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
