Becoming a Christian
Christianity is all about having a relationship with the God who created us. We were wonderfully and fearfully made in God's image and likeness for the purpose of an intimate relationship with Him.
At the heart of the Christian faith is the message that "God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him" (1 John 4:16).
Becoming a Christian begins with:
-
being part of the church family: the body of Christ, designed to bring Him glory through worship, to teach Biblical doctrine, and to equip its members for evangelism
-
starting reading the Bible
-
having a regular prayer time
-
get Baptized: Baptism is the public act of identifying yourself as a Christian, through which we receive God's grace and are brought closer to God
You May Pray
O Lord, my God, teach my heart this day
where and how to see you, where and how to find you.
You have made me and remade me,
and you have bestowed on me all the good things I possess,
and still, I do not know you.
I have not yet done that for which I was made.
Teach me to seek you, for I cannot seek you unless you teach me,
or find you unless you show yourself to me.
Let me seek you in my desire; let me desire you in my seeking.
Let me find you by loving you; let me love you when I find you. Amen.
by Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
