How to become a Christian...
An Open Invitation To Christianity
Overflowing Life is only possible when you are connected on a personal level, to Jesus Christ the Source of Life.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
This possibility is a gift from God, not a result of a person's good behaviour or good works.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8 & 9)
God had to help us, because on our own we can not:
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. (Romans 3:23-25)
This is because God loves you so much
Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Therefore, you can also connect to Jesus Christ at any time and place:

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:9-13)

If you are willing to commit your life to Jesus now, please read the words (prayer) like you are talking to Jesus, with all your heart and you will be saved:

Lord Jesus, I thank you for dying for me at the cross. I believe that you are the Lord and Saviour. Today I open my heart and invite you in my life. Come and save me, forgive me of my sins and make me a new person. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. From today, I choose to live for you. Teach me your ways, Lord. By faith I am saved, according to your word. I thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen.

If you have prayed this prayer for the first time or you are re-committing your life to Jesus, please send e-mail and let us know. We will be happy to help you grow in your new faith by praying for you and sending you useful material to read.  Meanwhile, click here to understand the assurance of your salvation.
