There are many truths about how to become a Christian including the missing parts the majority don't teach. If you don't read this you may be shocked in the coming day when Jesus returns. If you think you are a Christian and have seen most of this before, make sure you at least read part B. The first step to becoming a Christian, is to accept Jesus death in your place. Accept that he died for the forgiveness of your sins and ask him to save you. It simply involves asking Jesus into your life. God can't accept sin. If Christ didn't die on the cross, everybody would go to Hell. He died for the human race because he loves his chosen people, and so everyone has an opportunity to be saved. The only way man can be saved is through Christ choosing us and taking our sins in substitution so we can be sinless in God's sight. Jesus, who is the Son of God, is our bridge to the father. If we obey him and he chooses us, Jesus cleanses us from our sins by his blood. "Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." We need to seek and obey God to have a good chance of being chosen. We need to believe in Jesus to be saved. Believing means sincerely following and doing what God commands, or at least honestly trying and seeking to do it. Seeking and doing his will should be first priority. It is a life of self denial, where everything you do or receive should be for his purpose, and not for your own. If you are chosen and living for Jesus, the life to come will be Heaven. It will be Hell, a choice of eternal separation from God if you are not. You should not be part of the things that are highly esteemed among men in this world, such as keeping excess money for yourself to use on your pleasures. There is a glorious future in Heaven but no happy future on Earth. Your focus should be on eternal things and not on earthly things. To be a Christian you must hate sin, not take pleasure in it, and ask for God's help not to do it. We have all sinned. Therefore we must confess and seek forgiveness with a desire to repent, which is turning from sin. Even as a Christian you are tempted by evil, and can fall down. Our priority should be to try to spread God's word to others either indirectly or directly. Jesus Christ is our example, and his Apostles who were divinely led, are also an example for us to follow. Don't look to people who call themselves Christians today as examples, as probably only a very small percentage of them are true Christians. Becoming a Christian gives you the joy of sharing the truth with people. But it does not mean that you will have few problems or that few things will go wrong in this life. If we are chosen our reward is in Heaven for doing God's will. Don't be put off if you cannot convert anyone as Lot who was a believer in God in the Old Testament could not. God may not answer prayers the way you want. Many Christians suffer for doing God's will. This is a test which strengthens their faith, commitment and love from God. You must keep trying to do God's will despite the circumstances. You can only go by what is said in the Bible, not always by what people say. However, it is to be acknowledged we should praise God despite circumstances, and share his message with others. Even if none of your friends believe, you will still have many people in Heaven to become your friends if you go to Heaven. If you go to Hell nobody will be your friend. Even if you have been the most evil person, you can still repent and become a Christian. There are many ways you could volunteer to do God's ministry including printing information, caring for the needy, organizing the ministry, maintaining tools needed for ministry, studying the Bible, writing tracts, or preaching and distributing information. If you are in a paid occupation you should give your excess money to help ministry. We should be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit. Also as an act of obedience we should pray, seek his will, read the Bible, obey his commandments and join in fellowship.
