How to Accept The Invitation


Becoming a Christian, is easy, First & Final Step...all you need to do is to Believe and Confess.  This is why and how.

Christ's resurrected is the gospel. Our resurrection is our blessed hope. To receive the resurrection of an incorruptible body for eternity is easy. Believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, who paid for our sins. We must repent, which is admitting that we are sinners and accepting Jesus AS OUR SAVIOR. Moreover, we must confess from our mouths that Jesus is the Lord



To become a Christian is to accept Jesus as Christ.  Christ means the Anointed One (Messiah), and messiah means the Promised One.  The Promised One is the One that God had to send so that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. (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.  


Why should we believe in His Son Jesus?  Because He is the one that took away the penalty of sins in our place, that function is one of a redeemer, (Gal 3:13).  A redeemer is a relative of the family that has the right to buy back a property that a family member has lost, (Romans 5:19).  Adam has lost ownership of the dominion on earth.  He lost it to Satan.  He lost it by disobeying God.  Adam disobeyed by eating the fruit that God had forbidden to eat.  The human race has since suffered the consequences of Adam's disobedience
.
The consequences of his disobedience also included a change of mastership.  We are no longer sons of God but sons of disobedience, (Ephesians 2:2).  Satan is now our master.  In addition, since Satan's destiny is to be separated from God for eternity in the lake of fire, the sons of disobedience have the same destiny.  Jesus loved us so much and in as much as God does, that He would take our death sentence in exchange for His life.  Therefore, whoever believes in Him is reinstated in the family of God.  

Jesus lived a sinless life, death could not keep Him prisoner, (Acts 2:24).  




Jesus' blood did not only pay the penalty of our sins but resurrected us with Him, therefore, He reinstated us in the family of God.  Not only are we reinstated, but He also appointed us to reign with Him, (2 Timothy 2:12).  He is sharing His inheritance with us, (Ephesians 1:11).  There is only one catch…we are to accept Him, we are to believe that He is the One that paid for our sins, our disobedience.  That simple.  Just Believe, (John 6:29).  All sins from the beginning of time to the end of time had been forgiven, paid for everybody from Adam to the last born human.


Satan knows that his time is short.  His destiny in eternal fire is at hand.  With fury and vengeance, he wants to bring as many victims with him. Deceiving by lying is his greatest weapon, (Eph6:12).  THEY MUST NOT BELIEVE…is his motto.


Jesus is God, (John 1:1-5).  Jesus came out of God to take the form of a man.  Jesus will keep that form forever.  He will never be like God the Father is.  Jesus still bears the scars on His hands, side, back, and forehead.  These scares will be with Him for eternity to remind us of the price He paid to redeem us.

Take it or leave it, if not saved, Satan is your master; your destiny is to be with him for eternity in the lake of fire.  You cannot be sitting on the fence, (Matthew 6:24).  It is your choice.  Choose eternal life with Jesus…it is that simple.  BELIEVE.  Jesus did all the work. 


"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved," (Romans 10:9) NKJ


Pray this simple prayer:

Romans 10:9




If you had prayed this simple prayer, find someone you trust in the Christian community.  Share with him/her that you have accepted Jesus.  They will guide you in your new life with Our Lord.


Jesus loves you





The Gift of God - well explained


Are you saved?  Are you going to hell or heaven? Find out ...  Take the test.



I believe.... therefore, I will live for eternity... no matter what...  "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand," (John 10:29).

"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord," (Romans 8:38-39).



Isaiah 53 - CEB

  1. Who can believe what we have heard, and for whose sake has the Lord’s arm been revealed?
  2. He grew up like a young plant before us, like a root from dry ground. He possessed no splendid form for us to see, no desirable appearance.
  3. He was despised and avoided by others; a man who suffered, who knew sickness well. Like someone from whom people hid their faces, he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.
  4. It was certainly our sickness that he carried, and our sufferings that he bore, but we thought him afflicted, struck down by God and tormented.
  5. He was pierced because of our rebellions and crushed because of our crimes. He bore the punishment that made us whole; by his wounds, we are healed.
  6. Like sheep we had all wandered away, each going its own way, but the Lord let fall on him all our crimes.
  7. He was oppressed and tormented but didn’t open his mouth. Like a lamb being brought to slaughter, like a ewe silent before her shearers, he didn’t open his mouth.
  8. Due to an unjust ruling, he was taken away, and his fate—who will think about it? He was eliminated from the land of the living and struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.
  9. His grave was among the wicked, his tomb with evildoers, though he had done no violence, and had spoken nothing false.
  10. But the Lord wanted to crush him and to make him suffer. If his life is offered[d] as restitution, he will see his offspring; he will enjoy a long life. The Lord’s plans will come to fruition through him.
  11. After his deep anguish he will see light,[e] and he will be satisfied. Through his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous and will bear their guilt.
  12. Therefore, I will give him a share with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong, in return for exposing his life to death and being numbered with rebels, though he carried the sin of many and pleaded on behalf of those who rebelled.

Welcome to The Family of God
To Become a Christian is easy, The First and Final Step
...all you need to do is to Believe.  This is why and how.



Listen to Jesus

To become a Christian, it is not about which church or denomination we ought to attend. It is not about which day we are to go to church. It is not about the do and doesn’t.   It is about salvation and redemption; it is about being saved from a horrible destiny.

To become a Christian is to accept Jesus as Christ.  Christ means the Anointed One (the Messiah), and The Messiah means the Promised deliverer.  The Promise deliverer is the One that God has to send so that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish (from a horrible destiny), but have everlasting life.

Why should we believe in His Son Jesus?  Because He is the one that took away the penalty of our sins in our place, that function is one of a redeemer, (Gal 3:13).  A redeemer is a relative of the family that has the right to buy back a property that a family member has lost, (Romans 5:19).  Adam has lost the ownership of the dominion on earth.  He lost it to Satan.  He lost it by disobeying God.  Adam disobeyed by eating the fruit that God had forbidden to eat.  The human race has since suffered the consequences of Adam's disobedience.

The consequences of his disobedience also included a change of mastership.  We are no longer sons of God but sons of disobedience, (Ephesians 2:2).  Satan is now our master of the unbelievers.  In addition, since Satan's destiny is to be separated from God for eternity in the lake of fire, the sons of disobedience have the same destiny.  

"And anyone not found written in the Book of Life
was cast into the lake of fire," Rev 20:15


Jesus loved us so much and in as much as God does, that He would take our death sentence in exchange for His life.  In return, whoever believes in Him is reinstated in the family of God.  Jesus lived a sinless life.  







Since Jesus lived a sinless life, death could not keep Him prisoner, (Acts 2:24).   Jesus' blood not only paid the penalty of our sins but also resurrected us with Him - by the new baptism of the Spirit, therefore, reinstated us in the family of God.  Not only are we reinstated, but He also appointed us to reign with Him, (2 Timothy 2:12).  He is sharing His inheritance with us, (Ephesians 1:11).  







There is only one catch…we are to decide to believe that He is the One that paid for our sins, for our disobedience and to trust in Him only.  He did all the work. That simple.  Just Believe, (John 6:29).  All sins from the beginning of time to the end of time had been forgiven, nailed to the cross, and paid for everybody from Adam to the last born human.


Satan knows that his time is short.  His destiny in everlasting fire is at hand.  With fury and vengeance, he wants to bring as many victims with him. Deceiving by lying is his greatest weapon, (Eph 6:12).  


"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus 
and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved," Romans 10:9




THEY MUST NOT BELIEVE…is his motto.



Jesus is God, (John 1:1-5).  who took the form of a man.  Jesus will keep that form forever. Jesus still bears the scars on His hands, side, back, and forehead.  These scares will be with Him for eternity to remind us of the price He paid to redeem us.

Take it or leave it, if not saved, Satan is your master; your destiny is to be with him forever in the lake of fire.  You cannot be sitting on the fence, (Matthew 6:24).  It is your choice.  Choose eternal life with Jesus…it is that simple.  BELIEVE and Truth In JESUS.  Jesus did all the work. 

Pray this simple prayer: Jesus I believe that you are the One that God had sent to pay for my sins.  Please forgive my disobedience. I accept you as my Redeemer, my Savior, my Master, and my Lord.   Amen




If you have prayed this simple prayer, find someone you trust in the Christian community.  Look for a Bible-Christian Church denomination.   They will guide you in your new life with Our Lord.



Jesus loves you

Do you agree that you are a sinner?  Do you feel hopelessly lost without a saviour?  Do you believe God sent His Son to die for your sins? Do you accept His death as payment in full for your sins?  If you answer yes to these questions…tell it to Jesus… ask for His forgiveness and God will send His Holy Spirit… His seal is in you for eternity.  You are now a son of God and at one with Him, (John 17:20-21).  Son of God is a title given to all men and women believers.
