Step One: Acknowledge your past.

    “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Agree with God (“confess” means to agree with) that your life of rebellion, against His will and His Word, is sin. “Repent” means to be sorry enough to quit sinning and turn to a new life.

 
Step Two: Invite the Lord Jesus Christ into your life.

   “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12) Invite Him to be the Master of your life. Just as we have a chronological birthday, we can have a spiritual birthday. We can be “born again” by trusting Christ to come into our lives.

 
Step Three: Trust God’s promise of forgiveness.

    “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (I John 1:9) Stand on the promise of the Bible. God cannot lie. If He says that your past is forgiven—IT IS!

 
Step Four: Tell someone!

    Openly share your new relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. “Whosoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32) Tell someone else about your decision.

 
Step Five: Join the family.

   “Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are MEMBERS of God’s very own FAMILY, and you BELONG in God’s HOUSEHOLD with every other Christian. (Ephesians 2:19) The community talks about “that church,” the crowd talks about “this church,” but the congregation talks about “our church.”

 
Step Six: Grow by reading God’s Word.

  “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow...” (I Peter 2:2)


If you have started a new life with Christ, let us know! We are always glad to hear what's going on in your life.
