HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN 1. RECOGNIZE that you are not a Christian because you are good, for God's Word de- clares, "There is none that doeth good, no, not one" (Rom. 3:12). 2. RECOGNIZE that you are not a Christian because you are doing the best you can, for God's Word declares, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). 3. RECOGNIZE that you are not necessarily a Christian because you are a member of some church, for again God's Word de- clares that many have "a form of godli- ness, but deny the power thereof; from such turn away" (II Tim. 3:5). 4. CONFESS that you are a guilty sinner in God's sight, for you have broken His com- mandments, and all the world has become guilty before Him (Rom. 3:19). 5. CONFESS that you cannot save yourself, for "by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2:8). 6. CONFESS that you are hopelessly lost and under condemnation without Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour (Luke 19:10). 7. BELIEVE the good news that Christ died for the ungodly (Rom. 5:8). He therefore died for you and settled your sin debt on Calvary's cross.
