How does a person become a Christian? How do you answer this
question? Some say that a moral life makes one a Christian. Others declare that
joining a church or being baptized makes a person a Christian. Still others call
for a person to "make a decision" or "pray the prayer" or
"ask Jesus into your heart". While opinions may be important, the one
vital think when speaking of one becoming a Christian is what does God say in
His Word.
God has given His Word--the Bible--to reveal Himself, His
purpose for man, and the way to know Him personally. Everything a person needs
to know about becoming a Christian can be found in God's Word. As God gives a
person understanding of the gospel (the good news of how God, in Christ, has
provided salvation), then that person can come to genuine faith in Jesus Christ
and, consequently, become a Christian.
The Way of Faith can help you on the journey to
understanding the Christian faith. Each section ends with questions for personal
study or group discussions.
