1. Believe

“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”  Acts 16:31 (NIV)

To become a Christian you must believe that Jesus and His death for you on the cross provides the only possible way to be forgiven of your sin and be accepted by a perfectly holy God. You must believe Jesus is the only way to receive eternal life in heaven. 

Do you agree that believing in the person and work of Jesus is the only way to be saved? YES □ NO □

2. Repent

“I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds.” Acts 26:20b (NIV)

In coming to Christ, we must repent, which means to rethink or change our minds. If we have no desire to turn from sin, this shows that there might not have been a change of heart, therefore we may not truly be saved. If we humbly come to Christ and ask for Him to change us, we will have the desire to obey Him. We cannot do this on our own, and this is the difference between true Christianity and merely observing religion. As we believe God and yield to His will, He empowers us to do what is right because we are brand new people with Jesus living in us.

Do you desire to change the direction of your life and follow Jesus completely? YES □ NO □

“...If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we declare with our mouths that we believe, and so we are saved.”  Romans 10:9-10 (NCV)

A Christian must be willing to make Jesus the leader of his/her life along with sharing Him publicly with others. 

Do you desire to allow Jesus to be the Leader of your whole life?  YES □ NO □

4. Receive Jesus into Your Life

“But to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God!” John 1:12 (NIV)

If you have decided to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are now ‘born again.’ Here are a few things that will help you to grow as a Christian:

First Steps: 4 Keys to Spiritual Growth

PRAY—Prayer is like a telephone line that goes directly to God. It’s important to spend time talking to Him and listening to Him every day; the more the better (Philippians 4:6).

READ THE BIBLE—The Bible is like a love letter from God. The more you read it, the more you’ll get to know Him and fall in love with Him (1 Peter 2:2).

FELLOWSHIP—You need to have friends who share your beliefs and who can encourage you. This is why it’s so important to find a good, Bible-believing church where you can meet other Christians (Hebrews 10:24-25).

WITNESS TO OTHERS—Share your faith in Jesus Christ with others. Pray that the Lord will reveal how you should witness and when (Mark 16:15).
