The ABCs of Becoming a Christian

"A" stands for Admit. You must admit to God that You are a sinner. You must be sorry for your sin and turn away from sinning.  Turning away doesn't mean you wouldn't sin again and again; what it means is that you desire not to sin again.  Verses that support this step are Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Acts 3:19; and 1 John 1:9.

​

"B" stands for Believe.  You must believe that Jesus is God's Son and that God sent Jesus to pay the penalty for sin.  He paid this penalty by His death on the cross.  You don't have to understand all the "why's and how's;" but, just that God did it for you.  Verses about believing include John 3:16, John 14:6, and Romans 5:8

​

"C" stands for Confess. You must confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Confess means to tell God and tell at least one other person that you have accepted Christ. Read Romans 10:9-10, 13.

​

After you admit to God that you are a sinner, repent and turn from your sin, believe that Jesus is God's Son sent to die to pay for the sins of the world, and confess that faith in Jesus, then you are a Christian and knows Jesus as her Savior.
