Becoming a Christian
Becoming a Christian is about accepting God’s love through Jesus
We accept God’s love when we:
- Want to experience God’s love in our lives
- Are sorry for the things that stop us from experiencing his love
- Know that Jesus makes it possible for us to have a relationship with God
- Receive God’s forgiveness and the opportunity for a new start
- Commit to following the teachings of Jesus as we love God and his creation
God’s love is a free gift available to everyone, no matter who we are or what we have done.
