Every follower of Jesus at some point asks “how do I become a Christian?” It’s a great question! It’s actually pretty straightforward and it’s all about choosing to follow Jesus.
Starting off is simple because there’s two key things: Romans 10:9 says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Doesn’t get any easier than that.
- Believe in Jesus: Trust that Jesus is who he says he is – the Son of God. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and that he came back to life. This belief is the foundation of being a Christian.
- Confess Your Faith: It’s about saying it out loud, acknowledging that Jesus is Lord. This confession is a way of accepting Jesus into your life and starting your journey as a Christian.
And that’s it! Becoming a Christian is about believing in Jesus and confessing your faith in Him. It’s a decision that starts a lifelong journey of faith, growth, and discovering more about God’s love for you and becoming increasingly more like him.
The next step is baptism, it’s an important symbol of having joined God’s people. If you haven’t been baptized, join us for “Christforming 101” to learn about water baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
