To become a Christian a person must first realize that he or she is "lost"--totally estranged from God, separated from God by a sinful nature. Get a Bible, the history of God's relationship with humankind, and read from the chapter titled Romans. Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. A person alone cannot reconcile the lost relationship between himself or herself and God. To provide a remedy, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to live the perfect life God demands. Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Although humanity through sin has separated itself from God, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross bridged that gap. Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. All that God asks is that a man or woman repent of his or her sins, turn from them and accept the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for those sins. Romans 10:9: 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. God promises in the Bible that anyone who accepts Christ as Savior shall be saved. Romans 10:13: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Baptists believe that a person who accepts Christ as Savior should also follow him in believer's baptism by immersion and join the fellowship of a local church of like-minded believers.
