Becoming a Christian

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

…not by works, so that no one can boast.

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

…that 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.
