Saved - How To become a Christian

how to be saved

A Christian is someone who believes the following

3. You can be saved, and you are saved by Faith in Jesus Christ. You cannot be saved by your good works, because they are not "good enough". But God’s good work of sending Jesus Christ to save us, and our response of believing - of having faith - in Jesus Christ, that is what saves each of us.

4.God did not wait for us to become perfect in order to accept or unconditionally love us. He sent Jesus Christ to save us, even though we are sinners. So Jesus Christ died to save us from our sins, and to save us from eternal separation from God. Romans 5:8 states

1. Read Psalm 23 (in the middle of the Old Testament - the 1st half of the Bible)

2. Read Psalm 91

3. Read the Books in the New Testament (in the Bible) of John, Romans & I John

4. Tell someone of your prayer and your seeking God. Share that with someone close to you.

5. Obtain some of the books on the list of books, and begin to read them, so that you can understand more about God and how He works.

6. Pray, that is - just talk to and with God, thank Him for saving you, and tell him your

fears and concerns, and ask him for help and guidance.

7. email or tell someone about the great decision you have made today !!!

Does the "being saved" process only work for those who believe ?

For the person who is not yet saved, their understanding of

1) their state of sin and 2) God’s personal love and care for them, and His desire and ability to save them....is what enables anyone to become saved.

So yes, the "being saved" process works only for those who believe in Jesus Christ and Him only, and place their faith in Him and in His work done on the Cross.

...and if so , then how does believing save a person?

Believing saves a person because of what it allows God to do in the Heart and Soul of that person. But it is not simply the fact of a "belief". The issue is not having "belief" but rather what we have a belief about.

IF a person believes in Salvation by Faith Alone in Jesus Christ (ask us at xofcbooks2@yahoo.com if this is not clear), then That belief saves them. Why ? because they are magical ?

No, because of the sovereignty of God, because of what God does to them, when they ask him into their heart & life.  When a person decides to place their faith in Jesus Christ and ask Him to forgive them of their sins and invite Jesus Christ into their life & heart, this is what saves them – because of what God does for them at that moment in time.

At that moment in time when they sincerely believe and ask God to save them (as described above), God takes the life of that person, and in accordance with the will of that human, having requested God to save them from their sins through Jesus Christ – God takes that person’s life and sins [all sins past, present and future], and allocates them to the category: of "one of those people who Accepted the Free Gift of Eternal Salvation that God offers".

From that point forward, their sins are no longer counted against them, because that is an account that is paid by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. And there is no person that could ever sin so much, that God’s love would not be good enough for them, or that would somehow not be able to be covered by the penalty of death that Jesus Christ paid the price for. (otherwise, sin would be more powerful than Jesus Christ – which is not true).

Sometimes, People have trouble believing in Jesus Christ because of two extremes:

First the extreme that they are not sinners (usually, this means that a person has not committed a "serious" sin, such as "murder", but God says that all sins separates us from God, even supposedly-small sins. We – as humans – tend to evaluate sin into more serious and less serious categories, because we do not understand just how serious "small" sin is). Since we are all sinners, we all have a need for God, in order to have eternal salvation.

Second the extreme that they are not good enough for Jesus Christ to save them. This is basically done by those who reject the Free offer of Salvation by Christ Jesus because those people are -literally – unwilling to believe. After death, they will believe, but they can only chose Eternal Life BEFORE they die. 

The fact is that all of us, are not good enough for Jesus Christ to save them. That is why Paul wrote in the Bible " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Thankfully, that is not the end of the story, because he also wrote " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."(Romans 6: 23)

That Free offer of salvation is clarified in the following passage:

John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Prayer Requests - What to ask God for

Go to section for Newbies (New Christians)

Pray this prayer, sincerely to God, and He will hear you and save you  - Dear God, I am talking to you because I want to know you better, and I want to have Eternal Life. God, I pray today that you would forgive me of all of my sins in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask you Lord for your help to get through this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ...I pray that you would cleanse me of all of my sins and of everything that I have done wrong, and that you would give me Eternal life. Lord God, I believe in your Son Jesus Christ, and I believe that He died for my sins on the Cross and that He was resurrected thanks to your power and glory. Today, right now, I put my faith in Jesus Christ alone and in His sacrifice for me through his death and resurrection on the cross, and in nothing else. I thank you Lord for helping me today and for finding me and for reaching out to me. I thank you that I know that from now on, I can come and pray and talk with you anytime, and that you will hear my prayers. I thank you and give you praise and glory for saving me. I pray that you would give me the courage and strength to learn more about you. I pray that you would send people into my life that would help me grow very strong spiritually. I pray that you would grant me great spiritual discernment (undertanding) and that you would prepare me and my heart for the days and the events that we are now experiencing.  I pray that you would help me to love you more and to love your Word, the Bible and to start reading it regularly. Thank you for all that you have done for me through the blood of Jesus Christ,  I ask all of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Books about the occult

Fear not dear friend! For we walk by FAITH, and not by our changeable "feelings" which are unreliable. Focus on the truth of His Word and you will thank the Lord for every hardship that comes your way. Difficult times serve to purify our hearts as the fire purifies the silver, making us more like Jesus and more precious to the Father. Thank God that He loves us enough to mold us and to shape us for His glory! To the natural man it may look as though we are lost and abandoned, but in reality we triumph!

If we have made a difference in your life, we would love to know about it. We will not disclose what you share with us to anyone (and you do not have to tell us). But we would pray for you and answer any questions you may have. We want your best as much as you do. We look forward to hearing from you.
