Why Should I Become A Christian?
To follow Jesus, the ONLY WAY to God (John 14:6 & Acts 4:12)
To receive FORGIVENESS of sin and pardon from its penalty
(Romans 5:6-11)
To live an abundant LIFE that is filled with God’s Blessings (John 10:10)
To receive the DIRECTION and wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit
(John 14:16-17; 16:13)
To prepare for an ETERNITY in Heaven and assurance of eternal life
(John 14:1-3)
How Do I Become A Christian?
To receive God’s free gift of eternal life you must:
ADMIT your sinful ways and desire to turn from them and be delivered
from the judgment they bring (Romans 3:10, 23; Acts 3:19)
ACKNOWLEDGE what Christ did on the cross by virtue of His
resurrection (Romans 5:8; John 11:25)
RECEIVE Him as the only means of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12;
6:40)
FOLLOW Him as Lord of your life (Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:10-11)
How Do I Learn More About Summit Woods?
