Becoming A Christian

Becoming a Christian is a process beginning with an awareness of something missing, something wrong in ourself. We may not know it yet, but this is the beginning of our understanding of sin. This awakening is a work of the Spirit of God through events in our life and through hearing the good news of Christ. The process of conversion continues with the following elements:

• Listening to the good news in the message and life of Christ.
• Trusting God with your life; committing yourself to following Christ and obeying the Word of God.
• These three actions are dimensions of faith.
• Changing your mind about what you believe is true and right; acknowledging sin in your life.
• Public affirmation of Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
• Baptism into Christ and His Church.
• Following Christ in doing the will of God by the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

These are biblical steps you can take to receive the gift of life which God offers through Jesus. It is important to remember that life is a gift from God; we did not earn it when we were born into this world, we cannot earn it when we are born into the kingdom of God. We want to talk with you about where you are on your way in faith.
