Frequently Asked Questions
Fact Four:
The way to become a Christian is by living by two key truths.
These key truths are that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He rose from the
dead.
The first says that He is boss of your life, of your family, and even of
the government. Jesus Christ is the "ultimate authority"; He must
be obeyed. So when you read the Bible and see a commandment of Jesus, you
must do it.
Once you become a Christian you are like a soldier under the command of
Jesus Christ.
However His commands are not petty or small-minded. His commands are life-giving,
true and the way to salvation and a fulfilling life. Jesus says "My
yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Being a Christian is not meant to be an impossible struggle but a joyful
celebtarion of life.
The second thing we have to live by is that Jesus Christ rose from the
dead.
This means that we accept that He lived (how else did He die?), that He
died (how else did he rise from the dead?), and that God raised Him from
the dead on the third day.
This means that we too will be raised from the dead to have a life that
both lasts for eternity and shares the joy of heaven.
The Bible states why we have to believe these things as follows:
-
Romans 10:9-13 (NKJV): ...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.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put
to shame."
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord
over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on
the name of the LORD shall be saved."
If you know in your heart that this is the truth,
Pray this prayer with all you heart:
Dear Lord Jesus, I now realise that I am a sinner, I now know that
I need You to be my Lord and Savior. I believe that You died on the
cross for me. I believe that You rose again. I confess and turn away
from my sins. I open my heart to You and ask You to take full control
of my life. Help me to be the kind of Christian You want me to be.
AMEN.
