How I
can be a Christian? John 3:14-17 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. |
Romans 10:9-13, 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. |
John
1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh |
John
15:4 Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 1 Peter 1:23 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 John 1:23 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |
If you are not saved then pray
this prayer sincerely toward heaven based on verses above then the Lord Jesus Christ will
hear and save you. You will know that you are born again from above and have eternal life
in God's eternal Kingdom because you life will be forever changed as your soul spiritually
goes from walking in darkness to walking in light. Jesus - I know I am a sinner before a Holy God and that you died for my sins that I may be forgiven of mine. I now in my heart believe this, and ask you to cleanse me of all my sins. I also believe that you rose from the dead and are alive right now with the Father. I believe that not only are my sins forgiven but when I accept you into my heart I become a Christian. The Holy Spirit is now living in my spirit and I am forever saved and a son or daughter of God. I know that I am born a second time - this time born from above into God's family - whereas my first birth was from below to be a part of my parents family. I also believe you died for all my future sins. In trying to live my new life as a Christian and if I do sin I can confess them to you and they will be forgiven. I know that as I read your Holy Word and seek to abide in your Word I will mature and grow. I then will realize more fully the great promises that are mine because I am now a son or daughter of the most High and eternal God - the creator of the universe who loved me so much that He gave His only Son Jesus Christ to die for me. |
The Bible, which
is God's Holy Word, has taught from Genesis
to Revelations that
Satan, his fallen angels, demons, are the invisible principalities and powers
that run this world system since the fall of Adam in the garden of Eden (Eph 6:12). The Bible tells us God's plan of salvation and redemption for mankind
to bring about a new heaven and earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. The Bible teaches
that Jesus Christ, God's Son was born on this earth through a virgin birth (Isa 7:14, Matt 1:20,23). By a sinless life
Satan had no claim on Him as Christ offered Himself as an atonement for our sins (Heb 9:28, 10:12). Neither hell or the grave
could now hold Him (Acts 2:31,Rev 1:18). Christ was resurrected and now has all power in heaven and earth (Matt 28:18) . Before He visibly ascended to
His Father He gave the great commission to
His believers (the church). They
are to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God and eternal life to all that
believe on Christ till the end of the age . Almost 2000 years have passed since those
events occurred and now the end of the church age is drawing to a close in this 21st
generation that will see and experience Christ's return. His return is in two(2) parts. The first part called the rapture happens after rise of antichrist and his empire
(timeframe 1) and the mass return of the
Jews with the Ark of the Covenant (timeframe 2).
The rapture ends timeframe 3 in which Christ comes for His church
and meets them in the air(1 Thess 4:16). The rapture is also a time when
God's people are delivered (Rev 12, Dan12) from the 3 1/2 year
Christian tribulation period (timeframe 4)
and the terrible Day of the Lord (timeframe
5). These last 2 post-rapture timeframes have tremendous activity both on earth and
from heaven. Both the heaven and earth will be shaken mightily (Isa 13:13,Hag 2:6,Heb 12:26) with the polar
caps melting as fervent heat is applied to create a new heaven and earth wherein dwelleth
righteousness(2 Pet 3:11-13).
The end of the terrible Day of the
Lord will see and experience the second part of Christ's return. This is when He
visibly returns to earth with His raptured saints and defeats the armies of antichrist and
establishes His Kingdom over the whole earth forever (see Kingdom). The chart below is an overview/flow
of order of events chronologically both in column and row of these 5 main timeframes.
