How Can I Know Christ?

To know God and be ready for heaven, follow these steps:

Admit that you have sinned

The Bible says "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) That means that none of us is good enough to make it to heaven on our own. Everyone - no exceptions - is a sinner.

Believe that Jesus died for you

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, He gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12) Because none of us is good enough on our own to come to God, He made a way for us. God sent His son Jesus to die for our sins. He died for you and me! We just need to believe that he did this for us.

Confess Jesus Christ as Lord

"If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." (Romans 10:9-10) If you will simply talk to God about these ABC's, and believe what you are saying, you will be a Christian! It is the best decision you will ever make!

Prayer is our link with God, an awesome avenue through which we can express praise and adoration to Him for His goodness, love, and mercy; and an avenue through which we can voice our petitions and concerns. God's Word assures us that we can "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

Prayer also moves the hand of God on behalf of needs and circumstances in our church, our families, our community, nation, and world. Take time to pray and intercede for these areas as God leads you. Become part of a prayer group and intercede with others in times of corporate prayer. As you seek God's help, expect reports of great victory to follow as God answers prayer.
