Accepting Christ as your Savior can be a life-changing experience. Once you've invited Him into your heart, your fellow Christians will see you as spiritually born again. Learn how to accept Christ as Savior and begin your life in Christianity.
Difficulty: Easy
Step One
Admit you're a sinner. In the Bible, the Book of Romans states "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Step Two
Acknowledge that Christ paid your sin debt in full when He died on the cross. Jesus didn't wait to pay for the sin of the world until the people became worthy. He did it while people were sinners. This is how God demonstrated His love for us--offering a perfect sacrifice in Jesus Christ to save an imperfect world.
Step Three
Abandon your efforts to earn heaven. The full price was paid by Christ on the cross.
Step Four
Verbally invite Jesus into your heart to reign over your life. Know that only through Him will you gain salvation.
Step Five
Find a Bible-centered church to attend. Visit a Sunday service to see if your beliefs are parallel to what the church teaches. You faith will grow with the support of fellow believers.
Step Six
Once you've accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, read the Gospels and the Book of Romans. Jesus' words and actions are recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Book of Romans offers the new Christian words of wisdom and guidance.
Step Seven
Learn more about the teachings of Christ through the Bible, the gospels and books that examine Christ as a historical figure. Christ championed the poor and the meek. He preached universal love for each other, spurned violence and inveighed against slander and hypocrisy. Apply these lessons to your life daily.
