How Do I Become A BORN AGAIN Christian?

Jesus said to Nicodemus “unless one is born again he/she cannot see the Kingdom of God” John 3:5. Yes if you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior then you are not entitled to his Kingdom.

Again Jesu said “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. John 14:6. So this tells us that only through him can we see God’s Kingdom.

Steps to being born again

1.    Accept that you are a sinner.

The scripture say “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24”. After the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Sin entered the world, and when we are born we are born with the natural sin of our forefathers.

2.    Confess your sins

The scripture says, “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13

If you would like to know Christ, all you have to do is receive the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ by saying a prayer of salvation.

Pray this aloud: “Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and surrender my life. Wash me clean. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my Victory, I believe that in my heart and make confession with my mouth, that Jesus is my Savior and Lord. I receive eternal life, in Jesus name, Amen.”

3.    Find a Church

We believe that if you prayed that important prayer, you have been born again. You are starting with a clean slate, and you have entered into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Keep God first place in your life. Learn to pray; prayer is simply talking to God like you would talk to a friend. Mark today’s date, write it down in your Bible – this is the day of new beginnings in your life!

Now find a Church or any gathering where they preach about God and Jesus Christ! Hebrews 10:24-27

What is Salvation?

ARE YOU SAVED?

Salvation is defined as preservation or deliverance from harm.

Theologically it is defined as deliverance from sin and its consequences, to be brought about by faith in Christ. Also means redemption, deliverance, saving etc

How can I be delivered from sin when I have not sinned?

Most of us think that sin is the only violation of the Ten Commandments, even then we tend to think of murder and adultery as the major sins compared with lying, cursing, adultery etc,

But the truth is that sin is to miss the mark the mark in this case is the standard of perfection established by God and evidenced by Jesus. Romans 5:19.

For all have Sinned… Romans 3:23.

In this context the bible tells us that even those who have never murdered, committed adultery or have done anything wrong against God, have sinned by the virtual of being bone to a sinful nature.

Therefore we must resist the temptation to act as if we are righteous, especially by depending on our good works.1 john 1:8

So now we all know that we are all sinners either by our being born in sin or by evil deeds that we have done in our lives and our destiny is death in hell with the devil and his demons. Romans 6:23.

What shall we do?

We need to turn to Jesus Christ so that he can save us. For salvation is not because of our good deeds but a gift from God, because of his mercies and grace towards us. Titus 3:5

Because of our sins God sent his son to die for us so that we can be saved. 1 peter 1:3

God wants us to inherit his kingdom but it is up to us to take a step towards salvation and we can only do that when we accept that we are sinners then confess and repent our sins. Romans 10:9, Romans 10:10

Acknowledge our Sins and Confess.

If we confess and repent from our sins we spiritually die and rise with Jesus Christ and sin or death has no dominion over us. Romans 5:8

Pray a prayer of Confession.

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10: “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian—a child of Almighty God! I am saved! You also said in Your Word, “If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” (Luke 11:13). I’m also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4). In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ

We believe in the second coming of Christ. His return from heaven will be personal, visible and glorious, a blessed hope for which we should constantly watch and pray. Zechariah 14:4; Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13; Revelation 1:7

Before He establishes His kingdom on earth, Jesus will come for His Church, an event commonly referred to as the “Rapture.” At that time the dead in Christ will be raised and living Christians will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him forever. 1 Corinthians 15:51-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:14. In this resurrection, those who have died in Christ will have their redeemed souls and spirits united with a body similar to Christ’s glorified body. Christians living at the time of this event will not die, but will be changed to be like Christ. 1 John 3:2. This expectation is a motivation for holy living, as well as a source of comfort. 1 John 2:28; 1 Thessalonians 4:18.  No man knows the day or the hour when this will take place. Matthew 24:36; John 6:39

After the Rapture of the Church, Christians will be brought before the judgment seat of Christ. He will reward them on the basis of the works they have accomplished. Romans 14:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10. This is not a judgment to determine their salvation but a reward for labor on Christ’s behalf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-15. The Rapture will also inaugurate a period that the Bible characterizes as the “great day of His wrath,” “the great tribulation” and the “time of Jacob’s trouble. Revelation 6:17; Revelation 7:14; Jeremiah 30:7. ”This time of unprecedented difficulty will affect Israel and all nations. Its purpose will be to prepare Israel for her Messiah. Zechariah 12:2; Zechariah 12:3; Zechariah 14:1-3

At the end of the Tribulation, Jesus Christ will return with the hosts of heaven as well as the Church to establish the Messianic Kingdom on earth. Revelation 19:7-9; Revelation 19:14; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; Zechariah 14:9; Revelation 19:15; Revelation 19:16. His Kingdom will last for a thousand years. Revelation 20:2; Revelation 20:4-6.  At this Second Coming, the Antichrist will be cast into the Lake of Fire and Satan will be bound for a thousand years. Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:1-3. The nations and their representatives will be judged. Joel 3; Matthew 25.  Israel will be restored to her land, never more to be removed. Amos 9:15; Ezekiel 34:28. Christ will reign with firmness and equity. Psalm 2:9; Isaiah 11:4. His kingdom will be marked by material and spiritual blessing, since the curse upon the earth will be removed. Romans 8:19-21.

The Messianic Kingdom will close with apostasy and rebellion.Revelation 20:7-9. God will crush this uprising in the last battle of the ages and Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:10.  All those who rejected the Word of God will be resurrected. Revelation 20:11-13 They will be judged by Christ and cast into the lake of fire, the place where they will suffer final and everlasting punishment. Revelation 20:14; Revelation 20:15; Mark 9:48.

After this judgment there will be a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness is the norm. 2 Peter 3:13. There will be a new Jerusalem and the everlasting presence of God among all the redeemed.   Revelation 21:2; Revelation 21:3; Revelation 2:3-5.
