How do we
become a Christian? there is no secret in knowing the truth that will set you
free from sin. Understanding right and wrong is easy. What we need to
understand is making the choice to live Godly and holy for the Lord.
First let's
look into what makes us a non-Christian believer. And the answer is sin. What
is sin? It's the wrong that we do that the Lord Jesus Christ has reviled in the
word of God. What started the sin was disobedient to God in which caused us to
choose options to right and wrong. This created a direction for temptation to
do the oppose to right. This began sin. Satan deceived the very first humans in
the world called Adam & Eve. Adam & Eve only knew the right, because
God made them a living soul, and blessed them with the earth. What caused Adam
& Eve to fall into the temptation of sin?
The Forbidden Fruit that started the sin in this world
Genesis 2:15-17 And the LORD God took the
man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the
LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat: 17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Satan tempted Eve to eat of the
forbidden fruit.
The Serpent's Deception
Genesis 3:1-7
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the
field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman
said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath
said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of
them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they
sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
We all were born into this world as
sinner
Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in
iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
I Peter 1:23 Being born again, not
of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression.
I Timothy 2:14-15 And Adam was not
deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding
she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and
holiness with sobriety.
When Adam sinned, sin
entered the world. Adam's sin brought death,
so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
The lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is of the world
I John 2:16 For all that is
in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Keeping ourselves unspotted from
the world takes prayer, and always reading the bible.
We all were born into this world as sinner
Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in
iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
What is our first steps to becoming a Christian?
1. Believe that Jesus Christ is the
son of God.
John 3:16 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. 17 For God sent not
his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
2. Be sorry for all the sins that
you have done
Romans 10:9 For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
3. Leave your old past sin on the
cross after you've repent and return no more to your old ways.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to
this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
4. Go to a church that is preaching
the true word of God, and always read your bible and, pray every day, for you
and, others that you may know.
5. Always believe in faith through
Jesus Christ our Lord that all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With
men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
6. We must be saved in order for us
to enter into heaven
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves you
dearly
