How to become a disciple of Christ

“IF YOU HAD DIED THE MINUTE YOU STARTED TO READ THIS, DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU WOULD BE IN HEAVEN?”

The Bible says there are four things a person must know to go to Heaven:

    1. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. This means we have all sinned and we fall short of Jesus, God’s glory.
    2. “For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23(a). Our sin has earned a wage. That wage is death or separation from God in Hell.
    3. “But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23(b). God offers us the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We must receive God’s Son, Jesus Christ, to receive His gift of eternal life.
    4. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him.” Revelation 3:20. Jesus stands at the door of your heart waiting for you to invite Him in as Savior.

So taking Him as your Savior is the next step. How? Simple; Talk to Him. Simply ask God to save you. Pray this prayer now from your heart: “Dear Jesus, forgive me of all my sins and save my soul. I repent of all my sins and ask you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. Take control of my life, for I give myself to Thee. Thank you for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.

Now that you have received Jesus Christ you can know that you are saved because God has given you His Word. “And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” (I John 5:11-13)
