Become a Christian

Becoming a Christian is the most important decision anyone can ever make. What does the Bible say about becoming a Christian?

God loves you.

“Herein is love, not that we loved God,

but that he loved us.” 1 John 4:10

Sin separates you from God. Sin is choosing my way instead of God’s way. Sin separates people from God.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

God sent Jesus so you would not have to die for your sin. Jesus died on the cross, He was buried, and He rose from the dead.

“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.”

John 3:16
