Key truths about Christ include:
- His Divinity: Jesus is God in human form (John 1:1, John 1:14), part of the Holy Trinity
(Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). - His Mission: He came to save sinners (Matthew 1:21), demonstrate God’s love (John
3:16), and restore humanity’s relationship with God. - His Sacrifice: Through His death on the cross, Jesus paid the penalty for sin (1 Peter
2:24). - His Resurrection: He rose from the dead, proving His power over sin and death
(Romans 6:9), offering eternal life to those who believe in Him. - His Role Today: Jesus intercedes for believers (Hebrews 7:25) and offers a personal
relationship with God (Revelation 3:20).
Steps to Be Born Again
To be “born again” is to experience spiritual transformation and a new life in Christ. It involves
turning from sin and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. Follow these steps:
- Acknowledge Your Need for Salvation
o Recognize that all have sinned and need forgiveness (Romans 3:23).
o Understand that sin separates you from God (Isaiah 59:2). - Repent of Your Sins
o Repentance means turning away from sin and turning toward God (Acts 3:19).
o Be sincere in asking God for forgiveness. - Believe in Jesus Christ
o Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again (Romans 10:9-10).
o Trust in Him alone for salvation. - Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior
o Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and surrender your life to Him
(Romans 10:9-10). - Receive Him into Your Heart
o Accept Jesus by faith and invite Him to be Lord of your life (John 1:12).
o Pray a simple prayer of surrender, such as:
“Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe
You died for my sins and rose again. I invite You into my heart as my Lord
and Savior. Forgive me, cleanse me, and help me live for You. Amen.”
- Walk in Faith and Obedience
o Commit to growing in your relationship with God through prayer, reading the
Bible, and fellowship with other believers (2 Peter 3:18).
o Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to live a life that glorifies God (Galatians
5:16-25).
