Start Your Journey with Jesus

How Do I Become a Christian?

Jesus Invites You

Christianity is not about becoming religious or trying harder to be a good person. It is about beginning a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us that God loves us and created us to know Him. Yet all of us have gone our own way and fallen short of God's good purpose for our lives. This is what the Bible calls sin.

The good news is that God did not leave us separated from Him. Jesus came into the world, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again so that we could be forgiven and have new life.

How Can I Respond?

Becoming a Christian involves three simple steps:

1. Turn to God

Recognise your need for God's forgiveness and choose to turn away from sin and towards Him.

2. Trust in Jesus

Believe that Jesus died for you and rose again, and place your trust in Him rather than in your own efforts.

3. Follow Him

Invite Jesus to be Lord of your life and begin learning to follow Him every day.

A Simple Prayer

There is no special prayer that makes someone a Christian, but you might like to pray something like this:

Lord Jesus,

Thank You that You love me.

I am sorry for my sin and for living life my own way.

Thank You for dying on the cross for me and rising again.

Please forgive me, come into my life, and help me to follow You.

Amen.
